Barbarian Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 Diamond@heart sums it up nicely in that Peterborough have taken action with Kennett joining and reading between the lines why we didn't get him or even Jorgenson who has gone to Redcar. The recent updates are deafening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrace Grumbler Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 I don't think there's any wish to replace Robbo. There is, I think, a lack of comprehension that a replacement for Lewis Rose can't be found. I thought Mr. Phillips displayed masterly qualities of expectation management on Sunday when he said he hoped there would be reasonable news of a replacement!

Yes and some riders back out of a deal but you cant report that. It's all highs and lows and riders messing others up. Barbarian. Kennett going to Peterborough is a no brainer for him. Hardly a scoop as he wouldn't join any Northern Tracks, then along comes a Southern one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbarian Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 Tsunami I understand the Kennett situation but how do Redcar get Jorgenson and we don't. I believe he would have been a suitable replacement for Rose as it's over a month now since he took time out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbo at his peak was a match for most at Brough, and other tracks. Those days are fewer and far between nowadays tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screm Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 It appears Matej Kus has been released by Redcar, very attractive signing for someone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
