I see on Facebook that the supporters club have a quiz planned for 15 January. Full team should be known by then. Should generate some lively discussion between questions.
Take this for what it is I.e. simple gossip, but it would appear that the move to track both Thompson twins has broken down as a result of the miscalculation of averages and the Tigers are having to revisit their plans.
Scotty’s X-ray shows a nasty break so best wishes to him for a trouble free and speedy recovery. How will the Cheetahs cover his absence in leg 2? Possibly RR. Everyone would be eligible to take a ride. Might want to keep it in house rather than enlist a guest to ride in meeting that looks like a dead rubber? Out of interest who might be available to guest?
Maybe in your view however I think these two meetings have plenty to offer especially if the Cheetah’s can stay in touch after Wednesday. Pirates will undoubtedly have to prepare to be met with a hostile home fan base and a team desperate to sign off in style and will need all of Ford and Middleditch’s experience to keep them calm, focused and on task. I’m favouring Poole, but only just.
Given the unsettling statement from the Brummies a few minutes ago, should Pirates consider / reconsider their 2025 options? Lawson, Brennan, Cook, Cook and Foord would form the basis of an interesting Premiership team.
You’ll be pleased to know it’s not her, however it is another referee who recently courted controversy in the final race at the Championship Pairs where Wright was favoured over Nicholls.
