jenga Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 1 hour ago, cheggie said: This is only my best and very rough guestimate of the team with averages, based on the proposed change. Cook 10.4 ( 8pt PL ave x 1.3) Greaves 4.77 (taken from GS dated 04.07) Vissing 7.45 Starke 5.64 Harris 8.13 Sargeant 3.88 Thomas 2.31 Total is 42.58? Unless someone, or a few, could point out where I have went wrong!? that team looks weaker than the original one . so much for .Glasgows 2nd strings being heatleaders in the workington side . . it must be some sized brown envelope that being dropped from a great height !

Gazc Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 Don't you just love this forum we have had everything from brown envelopes to conspiracy theories even worse than Holdergate. Negativity mainly from other fan's is par for the course, I tend to agree with Jenga though (can't believe I just said that) I think it weakens us even further as Cook will not maintain that hefty average. But our hand was forced due to Lewi's injury (hope to see him back next season) and no suitable replacement with one change, so Richie was sacrificed to make it work. Not surprised to see Richie go but wish him all the best on finding another gig. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would just have been a"gentleman agreement" made at The AGM and depending who you are that doesn't count if you want to break it.IMO.It certainly has been mentioned before now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of an over-reaction is it not, would only be your own club it would harm with one less paying customer. Wouldn't harm any other club in the grand scheme of thing's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiger tiger Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 The rule about no GP riders in what is now the Championship was certainly written in black and white recently - in the 2018 regulations however it is nowhere to be seen! The move is still subject to approval and we will wait and see what they say. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
