I don't think i have ever mentioned Pickering particularly only said he would be one to be considered as I can't see them letting Howarth go.I did say if Tai came in to the Sheffield team both Ellis and Pickering would probably be the ones to make way. Ellis has had a terrible season, a 6 point average doesn't reflect his ability. Josh hasn't been that bad really and would consider himself unlucky if he was let go but if he was I would imagine he would go to Kings Lynn.

He chose his colours and picked his side. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester could be interested if Pickering were to become available, but wouldn't Sheffield need to fully rebuild the rest of the team in order to achieve a Museilak/Holder/Woffinden top three? Bit of a push at this stage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stacked up high like the shelves at Tesco, so they are. Just sitting there waiting. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4BenMoran Posted August 24, 2023 Report Share Posted August 24, 2023 So looks like Sheffield will be replacing Ellis especially if unsure how long his shoulder injury (cough cough!!) will take to heal with someone around the 7 point marker, I’d say they’d have needed to have ridden in UK before and their Polish season be over like Holder snr, Przedpelski or Wozniak) and then possibly either Kerr to go with a around 4+ point replacement which weakens team at reserve but gives them back the third heat leader other option would be Pickering to go instead of Kerr and a slightly stronger reserve coming in like Mountain Musielak 8.71, Woffinden 7.03, C Holder 7.16, Howarth 5.75, Pickering 6.24 A.N Other 4.11 Unatached Rising Star (Edwards, Boughen, etc) = 39.00 Musielak 8.71, Woffinden 7.03, C Holder 7.16, Howarth 5.75, Kerr 5.68 Mountain 4.40 Unatached Rising Star (Edwards, Boughen, etc) = 38.73 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I'd said earlier, it's almost impossible to include those 3 in a redeclaration this late on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moranboys Posted August 25, 2023 Report Share Posted August 25, 2023 This is where the sport well and truly shoots itself in the foot,two top draw riders in Tobi and tai,replaced by Ryan d ( and no disrespect to him,he's a top class rider) and probably r/r if tai is missing.was going to go to this ( weather permitting) but not now if both are missing.this sport is on its arse and needs to be sorted out real quickly 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigerblade Posted August 25, 2023 Report Share Posted August 25, 2023 8 hours ago, Badge said: Arranged so Leicester get some points I'm a little disappointed you say this. The original was rained off on 3rd August, and there were no Premiership race nights between then and the revised deadline, that both sides were free, and heaven knows there were enough grumbles about League fixtures not being completed before the deadline last season. At the time the rearranged date was announced, it said that all riders were available. Obviously since then, Tobi's now in Poland, Dan is injured, and there's been enough said this week as it is, about Adam, so I'll leave that one there. Leicester hammered us in the A fixture down there, and we were going into the rained off meeting with Connor Mountain instead of Tai, so there's no guarantee Sheffield would have fared any better had that been able to be run.
