InTheDeepStuff Posted Tuesday at 02:54 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 02:54 PM This is going to be a tough one for all the riders involved, will be in excess of 30° during the meeting, lord knows how much hotter in the pits and in their kevlars! Imagine Sheffield will go down the R/R route for Jack Holder as with only Northampton and King’s Lynn not riding only really Chris Harris as an option. You’d think Chris Holder, Pickering, Flint and Rowe could get maybe 7-10 from 4 rides not sure if Harris would get that from number 1. Did I hear right on BSN last night that Dan Thompson could miss this for Leicester of Lodz decide to use him for their Ekstraliga 2 meeting that clashes (practising today to decide squad)? If he ends up in Poland that would be a big loss for Leicester as looked on fire last night and had good meetings around Sheffield too, would they go guest or R/R? Can see Howarth again being a busy man down at number 6 maybe getting a ride or two extra from likes of Kemp, Morris or Joe Thompson Just due to Jack Holder being a consistent big scorer around Sheffield and R/R or guest not covering adequately I think Leicester will come away with the away win 41-49 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainB Posted 19 hours ago Report Share Posted 19 hours ago (edited) Dan Thompson no rides, no points for Wuj... that was all very worthwhile wasn't it 🤷♂️ What a 'kin joke! Bin him off... if he wants to not ride in Poland let him, get Ryan Ingram in the team. Edited 19 hours ago by IainB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need too tell these riders who want to go to Poland and sit in the pits earning money to make up their mind.Rather see a junior rider at least getting a chance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand the frustration, Edinburgh fans have experienced it to, but replacing a 6 point Prem rider with a 4 point Champ rider is not the answer. Now if Leicester said they'd prefer Lewis Kerr because he'd be available every match, that would be understandable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's to sign someone who'll turn up every week then it is absolutely the right answer. It's a shame as I rate Dan Thompson, but what a sad state of affairs that he's sat in the pits without even getting a ride while his 'other' club, in his home country, are left without him. Another one where you'd never see a Pole in the same situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really cannot be taken seriously as a sport while things like this continue to happen and are happening more frequently... but then we all know that already 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly one for the future Lewis Kerr... get these kids in, and when they lured by Poland, wave them goodbye I'm afraid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not unreasonable to expect a couple of points from him whilst riding at Reserve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
