Confirmed signings thread is wrong as J Allen does not get discount. He is 6.30 Yeah did it from bspl comes to 39.9 so as normski says 4.39. don't see much on that average new Aussie or run with a jack Smith or equivalent start of season?

eric i Posted March 30, 2023 Report Share Posted March 30, 2023 (edited) Is Josh MacDonald in the country? We should have got Zaine to do an Edward Kennet, do 1lap and pull out through injury gives Scunny the option of using guests.

Ryan555 Posted March 30, 2023 Report Share Posted March 30, 2023 First of all shame about Zaine and hope he recovers well. Secondly that leaves us very tight in terms of replacement the only I could see looking at the averages is could Kasper Anderson be convinced to do the UK again I know he said he wasn’t wanting to do it at the end of last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasper might be okay with a temporary position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He likes Scunny track so might be able to change his mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tosh1218 Posted March 30, 2023 Report Share Posted March 30, 2023 Exact pts left is 4.38 and to be fair there is not a lot about and rumours I’m hearing if all is well with Zaine it will be approx 8 to 12 weeks as he is in a body cast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure as Zaine is a reserve and was in a declared 7 riders and approved by the BSPA the Scorpions will be able to get a reserve guest upto his average 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has happened in previous years in that he is not new to the team having ridden in 2022, guests may be applicable but who knows with the rule changes & interpretations, especially with a good solicitor.

eric i Posted March 30, 2023 Report Share Posted March 30, 2023 (edited) No facility is permitted to replace a rider, who although included in a redeclaration has not made an appearance for that team since being redeclared. a) A team may utilise a facility to cover the absence of a rider(s) who has been approved in a teams declared 1-7 at the start of the season, a 28 day facility may be granted at the BSPA Directors discretion. In the NDL this only applies if the rider was in that teams 1-7 at the close of the previous season. The rules are badly worded Edited March 30, 2023 by eric i Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebaron Posted March 30, 2023 Report Share Posted March 30, 2023 (edited) Its a real kick in the teeth is this so late on and very little leeway to bring in anyone that could be expected to do the job Zaine would do. We just seem jinxed to me, always something that upsets the apple cart and has us making up the numbers. Completely mucks up the team, as we will be weaker at reserve. Whole idea was with Zaine at reserve he would be able to get into the 1-5 and then we would still end up with a strong reserve if say Lambo dropped into reserve for a spell. Now having a reserve likely to challenge the 1-5 looks unlikely. I think Rob needs to be entirely honest with himself and us about this. IF Zaine is going to be 100% fit in the next 8 weeks he might be worth waiting for. But if not much as it pains me to say it we need to find a replacement that is up to the job and not just someone to make up the numbers. Seems few options out there with a 4.39 average that could offer what Zaine could do. I rate another Aussie Zain Kelleher who had a stint with Poole & Plymouth in 2021. Very dedicated motorcyclist, I think Plymouth approached him for this season. Might be worth a phone call even at this late stage. Any which way its a real downer and throws a damper on things just when we looked set up good and proper for a real go this season.
