Grand Final 2nd leg Ipswich vs Leicester

Waiting on fitness update on Ellis. Will be “R/R or guest” (obviously 😂) if he doesn’t make it. 
 

R/R for me of the two options personally. Win or lose with our team. 

[TheSmiler]

I wouldn’t run R/R as you run the risk of another injury and running out of rides for the reserves. 

I think Ipswich should be looking to Charles Wright to guest.

In the same team as Brennan? Don’t think that’s a great idea myself. R/R for me, or Rew if he fits. At least would seem more of an Ipswich team. 
 

Edit: Well actually first preference is Ellis! Hasn’t been ruled out yet. Maybe a few days rest and he’s fit enough to take his place on Thursday 🤞🏻

Have I? Don’t think I have..

Edit: apologies! Just seen it right at the bottom. How’d it get that far down the page? 😂

Because i created both leg posts at the same time, and the 2nd leg has only just started attracting posts.

Why not in the same team?

They don't like each other had few bust ups when riding together at Belle Vue.

Keynan Rew guesting for Adam Ellis on Thursday.

There you go, got Rew. 

[BluPanther]

Rew will be back at Foxhall next year, so it's an obvious guest choice...

[Aries]

Ipswich 1/14 Leicester 8/1. 
 

Might chuck down 20 notes on Leicester at those prices! Hedge my bets so at least I’m compensated if we balls it up on Thursday 😁

[ShanoXtra]

Happy with Rew! Feels like it is still the witches team, I really like Rew and would love to see him help us lift a title after nearly doing so for us previously… this guest feels like we’ve just got our sub from the bench, rather than a guess.

[Aries]

Interestingly, looking at their 2025 averages covering all meetings, Ellis and Rew have an identical average of 6.78. Only difference is their 2025 GSA which has Ellis on 5.84, and Rew on 6.15.

Probably the best there’s ever been and almost certainly better than we’ll see in the future!

1, 3, 5 in the world, a solid international rider, an emerging future Grand Prix star and a talented but inconsistent young local reserve 

a 2025 equivalent:

zmarzlik, Bewley, j. Holder, thorsell, parnitskyi, kemp

some side that

Annoyingly I can’t find any photos in it as kid, I’m not a massive bloke (5’9” 74kg) but the fact it squeezed over my shoulders and gut makes me think it must’ve drowned me as a 9 year old 🤣🤣
