I've read Godfrey's statement . I've also read Dan Bewley's comment which caused Godfrey's hasty panic statement.
Which one is true? Well, I make that call based on which person I believe has no reason to lie, and which one I believe has a documented history of not being entirely truthful.
Bit of Background Reading
Yes. Definitely seems the case that the Poles have dropped the two league only rule. Godfrey is trying to spin it some other way, because other teams completed their teams early, while Lemon looks like he had inside info from Poland and waited for the rule to be dropped. The teams who completed early seem to have gone bellyaching to Godfrey about being outsmarted. Would be interesting to know which 2 PL teams supported the Aces and which 3 put the block on their legal team declaration.
Looking like this prediction was spot on.
Phillips, Woolley, Rothery, Lewis Millar and Josh Embleton finally named.
Gregor Millar surely a certainty. Leaves room for Willie Lawson.
Do you mean nationality-wise or ability-wise?
In terms of nationality I don't know if Luke was born in England or Australia, but he'd qualify as British because his parents are British (being the son of the former Belle Vue and Wolves second-halfer Frank Killeen - known as "Fearless Frank" or "Frank the Fence" depending on how he was going at the time).
In terms of ability, I don't know if riding in an Australian State Championship still allows him in the NDL on a 3.00 average. (presumably it must).
Seems Jack Parkinson-Blackburn had a self-contained workshop within one of the units that was completely gutted in this fire
