Someone will be without a team place now anyway. Redcar already had to bin 2 riders, one being a young Brit so the new rule really done wonders there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I can't see Master's doing Edinburgh but I suspect Schlein may take his place! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good chance Schlein could be bound for Birmingham. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than family ties Or 27 year old Tom bacon but it’s all in the best interest of the sport so they say. feel for James as he’s a good guy and hopefully he’ll get sorted out soon somewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom bacon makes a bit more sense because he ain't been around as long and he actually has scope for improvement... whereas josh is basically at his level... would love to see james at newcastle one day, guested for us a few years back and was popular Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandelion Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 I'm sure Plymouth will take advantage of him? On a bargain average and can sit in a number 4 position quite comfortably 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than family ties Making James a rising star wouldn't help him anyway as he'd be a 4, meaning Edinburgh still couldn't use him He may also have turned it down Edited February 19, 2021 by Marshall07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 I would guess it will be Luke Ruddick on a 3 star. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought so too, but hasn't he moved down south now? Which makes it a little less likely... Connor Coles or Jack Smith would be nice to see... Has Kye or Lasse been signed up elsewhere in Europe?

Dandelion Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 Just now, phillwhitewasmad said: do we know he wasn't asked to be on the scheme Well, he'd be a bit daft to turn it down as it's now lost him a team place and what's the disadvantage to NOT being on the scheme? He can still ride not as a rising star, it just widens his chances of a team place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Ruddick is based in the Suffolk area, but as a ex-Edinburgh rider he must stand a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
