That’ll be a huge loss for Redcar if he’s out. Allen, Sargeant and the two reserves are the only ones who can take his rides. He’s averaging over 7 so r/r might struggle to deliver that

lewy kerr can take tofty ride jake allen’s average higher than lewys

Take it Rob Lyon gonna pay him loss of earnings! 

Im  sure if the situation was reversed Redcar would pay his loss of earnings from missed Peterborough meetings especially as MPT will be at #1 on Monday at Peterborough 

MPT if available could use the Redcar fixtures to determine his fitness for Peterborough 

Stirred it this week already for Hans now Rob Lyon whose next on your list of Peterborough targets.

Drew Kemp riding in the U21’s on Friday now. Back for the return leg on Sunday.

Also just announced that Tofty is unfit so Bears operating R/R which is a massive blow to the Bears chances.

Edinburgh must be strong favourites now to go through.

Leon flint will guest in me lace of drew Kemp for Friday. 

Lol what a farce. Edinburgh can get a guest with average almost double their missing rider but redcar potentially can't use anyone to replace a rider with CMA with anyone other than sarj and their reserves. Only in speedway

Well we’ve replaced a 3 star with a 3 star.

Agree, can’t blame Edinburgh for using the system as it currently stands to get a good replacement for Kemp. It’s the rule that’s the issue, as it has been all season.

The rules mean the Bears have to have 3 of MPT’s rides covered by riders whose averages are well over 3 below his average.

My point is whole RS guest rules are an absolute joke. No harm to Edinburgh playing the system, it's the system that's wrong

I would still blame Edinburgh for no other reason than  it’s Edinburgh.

r/r should be 2 above & 2 below. A bit fairer rather than being weakened.

I was thinking that. Basically telling rider he's not riding for Redcar live on TV. Who decides Peterboroughs title challenge was more important than redcars?

How do you come to that idea. He's broken two fingers, so you are saying that even if he doesn't ride for Panthers he will still be Ok to ride fro Redcar

At the time information was not known. It was Rob Lyon interview on TV which he said he will need time off the bike to be fit for Monday. Hence saying he shouldn't be riding for Redcar Friday and Sunday.
