Robbobee Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 Don't think we can fit Lasse Bjerre in can we ? If Bates not ready go for Michael Palm Toft - he rode BP well last year particularly in his last match there ! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Providing the averages are Vaculik 8.00, Pieszczek 6.50, King 6.66, Andersen 7.75 Newman 4.86 , Sargeant 2.56 , we can fit Bjerre in . He is 6.10 we have 6.17 left.

hyderd Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 according to the unofficial official averages LB does fit and surely makes Leicester stronger, and IMO the team to fear most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coltsareus Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 Can Bjerre be used as a guest until Josh is back or would he replace him for the season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Lasse would fit, but I certainly wouldn't have a problem with Toft, has always looked committed whenever I've seen him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldRacer Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Would they need to redeclare or would they be able to use guests like Lasse from outside the league? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 I would think they would have to re-declare or use the 1 month injury replacement. If they do re-declare, if Serjeant or (more likely) Newman manage to increase their averages above that of Bates when the first set of GSA's appear it could be an interesting decision for the Lions management.

It used to be that you couldn't have a facility for someone who hasn't actually ridden in the team yet - is that still the case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall anything to the contrary, so I assume the regulation is still in place. The season starts soon, and the 2018 rule book is still unavailable.

No 28 day cover would be given so would have to be R/R. I'm sure this happened to Somerset once but don't ask me when and who for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had Ritchie Hawkins injured before the start of the 2008 season and replaced by Brent Werner. The same season when Tom Hedley bailed a few days before the start of the season and we had to sign Henning Loof before being replaced by Matthias Kroger. Amazing to think that's 10 years ago now!

MattK Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 The regulations only refer to re-declared teams: 16.5.3 No facility is permitted to replace a rider, who although included in a Re-declaration has not made an appearance for that Team since being re-declared.

Christina Turnbull had a set at the Poole fans meeting last night. Neil Vatcher mentioned a few snippets. 1. The second starting line has been withdrawn and riders must remain astride their machines whilst ‘gardening’. 2. Rider eligibility for heat 15 is being expanded. 3. Of the six trainee referees who started in 2017 only three are going in to year 2. There are six new trainees starting out in 2018. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
