perhaps with the wolves link schlein/heeps could persuade masters to come on a 28 day to begin with and then if danny is fit can return or maybe sam would stay on if not

One of the few acceptable options if a replacement were to be considered

Bear in mind this year a guest is allowed for the top 3 averaged riders so we dont have to run with r/r

Very true but we’ve got loads of meetings in the next month or two - a suitable replacement would be more stable and favourable.

A question that I have regarding my suggestion of masters - is there a limit to how many riders can double up with same teams?? I think there used to be because of fixture clashes but with fixed nights this now shouldn’t be a problem 

article just been tweeted from mike bacon - Louis stating they’re actively looking for permanent and semi permanent replacements for both Danny and Michael, with Michael confirmed as being on the sidelines for at least the next 6 weeks

Says semi-permanent in both cases here. I guess as was alluded to earlier, it will surely depend on how well the replacements do as to whether either rider can reclaim their place back in the side when fit. 

Josh Grajczonek a possibility?

Strange what’s happened to Sundstrom really. A few years back when he broke through at Rye House he looked a phenomenal talent who looked destined to reach the top. He also showed his potential when we signed him up at reserve in the top flight. 

I haven’t followed his career since so no idea if he’s had a bad injury/injuries? But he certainly hasn’t reached the heights that I thought he would.

He had two good seasons at Boro in 2011/12, but has never really kicked on from that. Half decent rider but will probably never be top class ...

Cook wouldn’t be allowed - gp riders aren’t allowed to ride in championship unless retained by team they rode for the season they qualified!

masters final average at the end of last season was 8.57 so why can’t he come in for king??

I think they would convert his current prem lge average which is currently 8.09  ....
