Yes, not in the original team but forced to ride as a number 8!!

You’ll see jack riding no.8 all season I’d expect unless for injuries.

It’s quite farcical as I understand it - can only have 3 foreign riders from your squad declared in the 1-7 for any given match but can have a 4th foreigner as no.8 - so Toruń use Doyle, c.holder and iversen, they then declare a junior polish squad member in the team at say no.4 but don’t have to ensure he has 3 rides or anything so then just put jack in wherever they feel like! I think they can even declare a polish rider in the team as r/r and then have foreigner at no.8! Seems barmy to me! Yet polish league is supposedly the promised land!

The thing is under Ged you always felt he had one eye on strengthening up whenever possible and he was never afraid to make changes. Under Buster? Who knows!

 

I think we know that the initial signs of a similar policy are not overly positive.

So Panthers failed to sign Kennett and Gomolski to replace Cook 

 

Good as neither are of the standard required to do that - Buster totally messed up our team that looked so promising in the winter so he will have to be prepared to take the financial hit for his decisions when things go pear-shaped.     As my parents always taught me - to every action there are consequences!   :angry:

Strikes me as if they're waiting for team changes elsewhere.  Most likely Nicholls or Thorsell.  

Not sure Panthers can afford Nicholls as Ipswich said they wouldn't have insulted him with the offer they could have made to him . Expect Panthers to finish with the wooden spoon this season as they are not going to be able to get a suitable replacement for Cook and will settle for whatever they can sign on the cheap. At least they will get one trophy under the helm of (Buster) Chapman .

Setting there sights high then ,  looking like what they have now will be the team for weeks to come.

Just knew this was coming,  after two 46-44 wins with last heat deciders they think this is now a winning team and people will keep coming though the gates week in week out,  its now the cheapest team in the league and that must suit Buster down to the ground.

They never said any such thing. Someone on here said it. 

And turned out to be no more than smoke and mirrors
