Glasgow were allowed to replace Howarth. They just weren’t able to make the changes they wanted.

then they should have looked harder

Difference between when a club declares a change and when they ride, what’s to say Jacob wasn’t going in at Scunny anyway and then Dan was unfortunately injured Scunny then using these injuries rather than performance as the reason for the change in their press release.

Same with Poole their new lineup with Lightcap could have been presented to the BSPL on Friday or Saturday prior to the Berwick match, from memory a change has to be decanted three days prior to the rider making their debut although I’d need to double check on that one 

So in essence if Glasgow had/have redecorated their side prior to Friday then it would be ok, albeit giving the quotes from Cami it would appear that isn’t the case 

I'm getting all emulshional due to Glasgow's lack of redecoration.

TBF I'm guilty of failing to do that. 

Predictive text has tucked me up many a time.

So which superstar, champing at the bit to ride in Britain, did the Tigers miss out on?

Remember that Glasgow are still in the playoff positions, so need someone to come in and average around 7-8 points a meeting, and beat opposition heat leaders home and away. There isn't time for a new signing to settle in, they would need to hit the ground running.

There is no guarantee that a new foreigner will be successful, look at Janowski's struggles in the Premiership last year. For every Nagel there are more than as many Ivacics that don't adapt quickly. 

I believe they tried the likes of Nagel and Basso but too many fixture clashes in their calenders already. 

Not ideal going with guests, especially with Glasgow's record of terrible guest performances over the last two years, but I don't see how it can be avoided

It also doesn't help, if Hagon has to stay at No2 for the rest of the season. It would have been much better to have him down at reserve.

While the ideal situation would be signing a rider who can score how you've described, Howarth's replacement wouldn't need to be as good as that, or as good as Howarth, just better than a guest on an average of 6.22 or below.

For example Antti Vuolas?

If Glasgow were allowed an 8 point guest for Howarth for the rest of the season, I probably wouldn't have looked for a replacement.

think thats the team managers job saying that he is rubbish at picking guests but its not good for the paying public to have a team short of two riders , tigers will get no where in the playoffs so it would be better to test a new rider or two for next years team instead of bringing in two new riders like this year
