I’m sure they said Musielak would be missing on Saturday on BSN.

Sheffield do seem determined to use Connor Mountain instead of one of their big hitters at Leicester and allow both teams to qualify for the Pay Offs

unless Conner Mountain has changed his name to Ryan Douglas it appears Sheffield aren't using him after all

2nd or 3rd in the league is best so u dont meet Belle Vue in the semi final ...

But it does’t work like that. 
 

Top doesn’t meet 4th . Top team gets to choose who they want to race in the semi final.

 

IF Leicester make it I think they will pick Leicester

No you are wrong,it is 1st v 4th and 2nd v 3rd. The highest placed teams get to choose whether they ride at home or away first.

Yes, the team finishing top used to get the choice of opponent, which I've always thought was a great idea. I guess therefore that's why they simply had to change it.

Not sure I fear BV any more than the others, I’d perhaps sooner them than Wolves given how they ran us ragged at home last week.

Either  one will be hard to beat on aggregate unless u bring someone in ....

I think the truth of the matter is we're now a 5th place club with the loss of Morris's points ability at home, we may sneak into the pay offs but like you say unless those missing points are replaced we'll be straight out

Don't suppose we can redeclare with R/R can we?

I’ve been very supportive of Dickson this season and his ruthless team changes and his proactive winning mentality. The Morris situation was a real curve ball and required a quick response. Cannot criticise the Batchelor appointment at the time in view of alternative options. The recent double change ditching Bomber and bringing in Cook however is difficult to defend. There is a reason why Batch & Cook had yet to be offered a team place at this level before now and now Dickson knows why. Dickson is a winner and he is no doubt frantically looking at one final team change for the run in. It’s no good scraping into the play offs if you can’t even win at home.
