Expand I'm sure it was as well and still should be. Could sort of understand it if it was a broken collarbone or something, but the poor lad looks to be and for his own good should be out for the season, with riders available it can't be right to start with guests. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can only assume it’s kemp or Rowe Expand Considering Jack Thomas was in both Poole and Ipswich teams, I do wonder if Ipswich do get Rowe or Kemp, they will also double up with Poole as well, as will help with race sharpness level needed to do well in the Prem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89buttons Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 Zero point not bringing someone in so we have a settled 1-7 from the start.
