I thought the majority wanted to keep Newman. Most of the ones who wanted Gilkes back, seemed to suggest doing it because of morals, rather than Gilkes being stronger? I suppose on Gilkes FB Poole were getting flak, but that's not really unbiased opinions. Edited May 22 by szkocjasid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teromaafan Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 Don't know how much longer Dan T will be out but I would've thought Dickson would make a swift 28 day offer to Lewis Kerr before someone else grabs him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No pressure as no one expects them to do anything and also he is at 7, so can take time to get race fit. If he was at Poole would have been in top 5 for a bit and no time to settle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not entirely sure the scunny fans will be happy about that being their lookout however. Replacing their second best scorer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their two reserves won the match for them last night. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teromaafan Posted Monday at 09:25 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 09:25 PM Looking at the rolling averages, Howarth will be at reserve next month. He’s not actually riding badly but Kemp has made such a great start to the season. Kyle will hopefully fill his boots at No.6. I can see Morris having stint in that berth as well before too long.

I’m pretty sure that if Howarth hadn’t have fell in his first ride at Northampton last week and picked up a point then Morris would have been at reserve for June, Kemp, Howarth and Morris all very close on the rolling averages.  Howarth on an 8.5 average so far this season (although only 2 league meetings that count towards and average) so Leicester have someone at number 6 that could be a match winner especially if anyone having an off night it’s an easy reserve replacement swap option for Dickson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day it's a performance game and with Joe Thompson averaging 5.14 from his 4 meetings for Leicester it was a no brainer. Mr Dickson would be taking (justified) flak if he didn't make that decision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainB Posted yesterday at 08:39 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 08:39 AM What a fantastic gesture from the club and riders involved 👏 Never knew Anne but she was always noticeable wearing her Lions race suit. Condolences to her family and friends.   3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
