Isn't it too late for team changes now unless it's for an injury? Leicester could now be stuck with Batchelor

No, cut off is 28th August.

I'm afraid unless batch does a miracle turn around I think losing Morris has cost us a chance of the title 

Yeah no doubt batch is far from the answer to your morris woes. 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.

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.

Hearing is on 16th August.

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

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.

Cook and Batch not much difference...With Harris u dont know  what to expect .. can be brilliant  but can be poor to ....id go 4 harris over worrall over all...

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 big question is how many times will I write Colin in my programme?

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.

Probably the one who needs the most support from the fans. Surely he can't be as bad as batch. 

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.
