Really sad if these two lads go. Criticised Glasgow for how Richie was cast aside so not going to be two faced and say great move by Edinburgh. On record of saying on Twitter I would have Richie at Armadale but thought it would be next season. Thanks Mark and Max for your efforts if you are going. Maybe a bit top heavy now?

But you are now a serious prospect for the play offs. No one will touch EDI at home with a top four of Wells, Riss E, Worrall and Palovaara. Glasgow have handed you a lottery win by dispensing with their more flexible heat leader and rider most marketable to rival play off contenders on 7.57.

Had it been Harris in the low 8's there would have been few takers, especially not Edinburgh. Its a spectacular own goal by Glasgow that could end our own fragile playoff hopes, particularly as the last two league meetings are Edinburgh home and away.

Glasgow dropped a rider that was performing way below what everyone expects him too 

and im sure that includes fans from every club/area of the uk 

cant call a club that drops a rider that's probably been given a really good deal when they don't perform 

maybe the lesson there is give them more points money rather than big sign on fee and big start money 

throwing money at someone before they do there job isn't the best way to motivate most people 

reward them when there doing the buisness

Feel really sorry for Mark, good luck lad and I hope you can come back to us sometime. Thanks for your contribution to Monarchs, you are a much better rider than you have been lately. I’m sure someone will snap you up

Thats a fair point often discussed by Glasgow fans how well the riders are paid and whether the structuring of their pay actually de-motivates them.

As for Worrall he was the least under performing heat leader, and bearing in mind we have been allegedly trying to replace Harris since the end of May, the wrong ridwr has bewn hung IMO.

What happens when you dispense with the services of a Visa rider such as Rumi. Is there not a quoted term of the visa and a fixed payment for the duration of the visa regardless.

I guess that’s what the promotion is aiming for and let’s face it, they aren’t very often wrong

Mark Riss has confirmed to be leaving.  Expect Ruml the other name.  

Hope promotion have a number 7 lined up.  Please no Clegg. 

If your promotion bring that one back, they're undoing in advance all the good work which will be done by signing Worrall

Really - Harris signed for Poole using his Rye House average

It wasnt reverted to last years Premiership end figure or a conversion of his current Champinship figure

Therefore Id say Clegg would be a conversion of his Rye Premiership figure

It is his Championship average that is now null and void
