stevebrum Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 (edited) So Becker is back in the declared 1-7 as of yesterdays new declared line ups, which makes the announcement of Nicholls as a temporary signing all the more odd. Of course it now makes the use of Harris as a guest as perfect sense yesterday. https://britishspeedway.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/p23_issue_4.pdf Edited April 11, 2023 by stevebrum Added information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harris guested for the home side as they reverted to their original team declaration including the injured Luke Becker, as short-term signing Scott Nicholls suffered an ankle injury in Poland on Saturday. Taken from match report on British Speedway website No reason not to believe it as Scott got a paid maximum at Monmore when guesting against KL Edited April 11, 2023 by Call me wolfie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about a conspiracy theory- he only signs for Wolves recently but tells them unfortunately he`s not available for Easter Monday- so that leaves them in the $hit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if they had redeclared with Scott in it for 28 days, isnt it then against the rules to redeclare the team again with a known injured rider (Becker) in it?

He wouldn’t have been guesting if he had been fit to ride. I guess if the temporary signing is cancelled then it automatically reverts to the original line up. I really don’t understand all the fuss, if Nicholls had ridden instead of Bomber the result would have been pretty much the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just a little confused with the reverting back to original line up part of the rules, don’t you usually have to give 48 hrs to re declare or does reverting back to original line up cancel the need to wait 48 hrs? If Scott was injured Saturday they would have had to declare Saturday night to be able to convert back? Not like anyone can really explain the rules as I don’t think even those in charge know. Look how they messed up the Lambert situation for the play offs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of the fuss is because Wolves kept the whole thing secret, even after the 12 noon match was cancelled, they still posted a team with Nicholls in for the 8pm match. 1) to me keeping it a secret sound like they have something to hide (i.e breaking rules) 2) why not advertise Harris - might bring more fans through the gate!

In the days of the internet you can no longer pull the old 'injured riding abroad' trick. We all know what Scott did for Rawicz on Saturday and unless he tripped over a burger in the pits he didn't pick up an injury there. [And there is no suggestion he won't be fit for Oxford tonight] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
