It is a shame that morris has behaved the way he has. You need to find someone tarasenko esq now. Easier said than done aswell I’d imagine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted August 1, 2023 Report Share Posted August 1, 2023 When will Morris have his case judged - is it the 23rd? Until then he is just suspended, so whilst there's even a small chance of him being cleared, it's still possible he could return and is something Leicester have to factor in, no matter how slim the possibility is. However with the team changes deadline being the 28th and Batchelor struggling so far to make an impact, looking at another option must be on their agenda.

Swapping Batch back for Morris is not an option (regardless of the outcome of the hearing), because that would put the declared team over the points limit. Troy's average this season (admittedly after just three meetings) is 2.33 and I'd be surprised if the management are likely to give him much more time. The longer they persevere with him, the less time there is to bed a replacement in. There doesn't appear to be much choice out there and taking a punt on an untried 5.00 point Johnny Foreigner might be the way to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrow Boy 2 Posted August 6, 2023 Report Share Posted August 6, 2023 Richie Worrall & Chris Harris have just swapped clubs and Craig Cook is to replace Troy Bachelor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin bass Posted August 6, 2023 Report Share Posted August 6, 2023 Does it make Leicester stronger tho, suppose Cook can't do no worse than Batch has, but will Worrall score more then Harris overall home and away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishersGate Posted August 6, 2023 Report Share Posted August 6, 2023 (edited) This is great news personally. Worrall when he gets going at Leicester is near unstoppable and cook has had some good meetings at Leicester also. Think away from home we maybe weaker now but I just want to see us keep winning at home . I'm stoked with these signings. I feel for bomber but watching him at Leicester everytime he was riding he was constantly shaking his head ..even on lap 1/2 , clearly finds the track hard work and just doesn't suit him. All I'm going to do is blame Morris from now on, if he hadn't have done something so stupid I generally thought we could been in the final. I think there's still a chance of course with these signings coming in and hope is restored ! Lets get worrall cooking!

The only time you will have to write the name Cook in your programme is for Heat 15. If Cook is nominated for that race it would mean that the Lions already have the match in the bag. Thank you for reminding me though of my age regarding Colin Cook. A bit similar to Bomber (maybe not quite as good) when it comes to attitude to racing as I remember. Probably smaller than most club’s mascots, but a proposer racer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Dickson can get Craig’s head right, I’m quite optimistic. When the Lions started up again in 2011, for the first few seasons, Cookie was very difficult to beat at Leicester and we used to dream of him moving to us. Things have moved on since then (I used to have hair etc) I know but if he can gate, he will hold his own. Must admit, I’m not sure what he will deliver away though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
