As to your first ? 'why wouldnt they'?....well, there's no Number 1 rider....the Number 4 is riding cr#p and the rising star has just got injured and there doesn't seem to be a competent replacement (albeit there's an announcement today apparently...) the track is poor....the attendance is poor.... I think there's plenty of valid reasons why they wouldn't see the season out.... BUT....as IainB has pointed out, Tolley needs to stay on track (no pun intended) in order for his 'new' club next season!!!!! Does he? A big queue to take over Sheffield is there?...

TTT Posted June 11, 2025 Report Share Posted June 11, 2025 Sam Hagon and Perry Barr isn't a good match on paper. Sam was never going to turn down the opportunity though and I hope he can get to grips with the cicruit and score some points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you overlook a stronger rider just because you run a NL/NT team? If every club chose replacements from their development team only, then clubs that don't run a development team, would be at an advantage, being able to pick from any NL/NT team for a replacement. By that logic every Prem team losing a RS would be signing a NL/NT rider as a replacement, while Ipswich could go for Gilkes or Hagon because they don't have a NL/NT team to recruit from. Also the NL/NT is miles away from the Prem, even at RS level. It's better riders move up when they are ready & not before. If one of the top NL/NT riders Max James, steps down from Edinburgh because it's too tough for him, surely you wouldn't put him in a RS spot just because he rides for Birmingham's second team?

Yep, can't disagree with anything you say... but then I'm not a fan of the RS system in the PL anyway... and now with the removal of the asset system it makes it even less likely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rew seems to be riding with an injury and Edwards taking a hit last night 😕 wonder if we will actually bring in someone to replace MJJ Rew is maybe “looking after his average”. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted June 12, 2025 Report Share Posted June 12, 2025 Just for info, when Sam Hagon rode for Poole he was told by the management that he must learn to ride the inside line and not always go wide!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries there then....Paco will teach him the art of that! Maybe Sam can show Paco how to ride wide? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair Ritchings, Spencer and Butcher are too old, Max James and Sam McGurk struggled at CL level (although James will come good), Summers its too early and i still struggle that there is a team place even at NL level for Meadows so hardly surprising that they looked elsewhere.
