We have to have a guest now Cook has gone to reserve, R/R is now not an option 👍🏻 so tomorrow night against Leicester we have a choice between Tungate (no chance), Kildemand, Palovaara or someone from the championship… as I’ve been told Lewi isn’t allowed to guest tomorrow 

Why would Lewi not be allowed?

Wouldn't he now fall into the 'someone from the Championship' category.....

That’s exactly correct!

Of course - easy to forget what day of the week it is 

Although surely that was Sheffields Lewis Kerr and this time they would be using Pooles Lewis Kerr

Hopefully the rain comes!! As Tobias Thomsen is guesting at reserve tomorrow night… maybe no Lawson either looking at his latest Facebook post

Tobies Thomsen suggests Lynn have given up hope of a top 4 spot - no disrespect but he's not PL 6 point standard and likely to have a field day at reserve.. and do well to match kemp and Joe Thompson

I suspect rather than 'giving up' he's simply the best available.

Looking at our remaining fixtures we've got a decent chance of at least 18 points..

Leicester at home 2pts

Oxford and Birmingham home and away - 4 wins 2 bonus = 10pts

BV and Sheffield home - 2 wins and bonus points - 6pts

Just that Suffolk lot away to deal with.. 

Sheffield (rather than Leicester) just might be catchable....

Even if you did manage all those results, which is unlikely, that would put you on 32 points.

Wins for Sheffield away at Birmingham and Oxford will take them to 32.

Are you confident that Sheffield will lose home and away to Ipswich and Belle Vue, and home to Leicester ?

I’d be surprised if Kildemand, Tungate and Palovaara all said no though tbh

I wonder if just signing Kerr would be a better option than going with guests, but he didn’t exactly pull up any trees in his guest appearance

They might not even be in the country...

I wouldn't, as @BluPanther says they're probably abroad and have no interest in guesting.

You never know, he might come back. Lynn have kept his parking space in case.

He is definitely coming back, that was never in question. I wanted him replaced because he was coming back too late, not because he wasn’t coming back at all 🤷🏻‍♂️ we should have been able to use Lewi tomorrow night anyway, that 8 day guest rule is absolutely mindblowingly rubbish!

He can stay where he is, as far as I'm concerned.

What old ruling? You have always been able to have a guest at 6. It is only r/r which is for top 5. 

Yes, I’ve looked at this again. I think I got my wires crossed. The wording of the SCB rules regarding guests relates to riders in a teams top five allowance for an additional 5% on averages for guests standing in for a rider in a home meeting (which I was aware of). An additional clarifying sentence along the lines of ‘guests outside of a teams top five are permitted but the extra 5% is not applicable’ could perhaps be included. Anyway, trivial, move on!
