It would be great to see Danyon fixed up anywhere but very cheeky if its allowed at Leicester however it helps when you have owners in high places.....

IronScorpion Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Rumours from a friend who knows .................................................. Are the "members" the committee of 5 or all the promoters that constitute the "members" who meet up at Rugby almost every month. Those who want to make changes will & those who persevere with who they have got will not, for another month or 2 at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortythirtyeight Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Only the Top table meet every month and even then it can be just three of them , the other promoters just get minutes of the meeting a month later. The promoters only get together when summonsed . The top table have been caught out making behind closed decisions on several previous occasions, ask the ' Ged Father '.

Lionsman66 Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 With limited options I would say the other Lions reserve will be very busy taking at least 5 rides every meeting. Could this be the undoing of Lions title chase? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose that helps Leicester then as they don’t have to name a replacement and use a guest to suite. Doesn't help Jack though and another reason the ‘ 2 point average’ attraction to clubs was misplaced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack was caught in no mans land with the 2 point CL incentive and the reduction of NL team building limit. As a rider who is relatively short on experience compared to many it was a big ask to continue his advancement without the regular sharpness & confidence a NL place would have brought. Whilst the weekend home team must have been appealing along with greatly reduced travel a patchy fixture list can struggle to keep the interest of a rider of his age. Sometimes things can come too easy and the desire starts to fade when things get tough. Jacks a good lad though and i wish him well whatever he chooses to do.

GWC Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 It does reflect the dilemma the CL is now.Too strong for the majority of NL riders trying to moving up and a refuge for PL riders wanting more rides. I don’t see how it will change unless we have a strong PL and large enough to stop riders dropping down. Unfortunately it will probably result in a much weaker CL if it survives in its current format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The press release just says he steps in for the 2 matches against Redcar, nothing about him being the man to replace Thomas permanently, but I suppose it gives him a chance to impress. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think he'll do enough matches to get an average, sure he'll be a reserve on 2.00 for Eastbourne next year and really needs another year in the NL, establish himself as a heat leader there, and then do a full season in both leagues next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Eastbourne may have missed the boat as he signed for Mildenhall so they own his contract. I know that as the Brummies had a look at Jason when we made reserve change but Stoneman was preferred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
