Hopefully I'm proved wrong but don't see him scoring well enough to get us near the play offs. After the great signing in Masters this is a poor signing. 59 minutes ago, Mr Blobby said: Don’t see how it’s a poor signing. You think Sarjeant replacing Marson is not an improvement? It’s an extra 2/3 points a meeting and that is what makes all the difference. This also gives monarchs a reserve with experience again in either James or William, think the problem is people were expecting William to be replaced. (Lawson should also be good for an extra point or two from reserve) Edited August 1, 2019 by speed ace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endeavour Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 So Willie rides on . Talent is there but shocking lack of investment in equipment has cost us some league points. Heard a whisper last week that we could be interested in James but thought Willie would go. hope it works out but I think the boy’s heart is with Glasgow. cant say I am a fan of this hiring and firing, sign of the times in all sports. Should have pushed to have Sam for Newcastle away in cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are these teams not just pressing the panic button?? Edinburgh, Sheffield, Glasgow, and Somerset seemed too be. Back fired big style on Somerset last night. Served them right.

Would you suggest teams keep riders even though they are contributing next to nothing , not how it works I'm afraid. I can see both sides of the argument but you can't really blame any team in replacing under performing riders , i don't anyway. It is just becoming ridiculous. Teams changing riders all the time. I did not see many of his scores before. Same with Danny Phillips at Newcastle. He is shocking. But unfortunately he will not be moved on. But who can replace him. Others that have been suggested no better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cj69 Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 Lawson shud have been binned months ago. Yes he has improved recently but the boy is a waste of space. I sung his praises when signed but huge disappointment. Maybe my expectations to high to begin with. Sarjent can certainly score points when he's on form and no doubt more than marson but i find it hard to believe there isnt better out there rather than him just being conveniently available (don't follow all the ins and out to know who) and cheap. If he proves me wrong all to the good. Anyway onwards to Friday with the visit of scunny to test out the 'new' team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edinburgh (and Glasgow) would have needed to make the necessary notifications to the BSPA by Tuesday evening (72 hours) at the latest for changes to come into effect in time for Friday. Therefore he would have known he was on his way to Edinburgh beforehand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
