Me too...he's ended up with 'us' and LR as his manager! Seriously though...what is there to feel sorry for? Joe has been signed and he will have less travelling in the process !!

I understand your pain remember we had rogers sniffing around our club not so long ago I believe he had some wonderful ideas how to spend others money but wasn’t prepared to part with any of his iwn. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scunthorpe chose to drop Joe - obviously believing Clegg & Ablitt are stronger than Joe & say Jack Smith? In theory Scunny could've dropped one of their top 5 for Aarnio, Batchelor etc with Ablitt for Kennedy? The decision did allow a young Brit to get signed though (Ablitt). Aarnio won’t race again for the Scorpions Fact 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan555 Posted May 10, 2023 Report Share Posted May 10, 2023 Impressive performance from Kinsley tonight scoring 10+1 from 4 beating both Thompsons in heat 13 could he find his way back into a Scorpions race jacket ?! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 2 league meetings & when the averages change on the 1st June, what Dougie has lost Lambo has gained & similarly with Allen gaining & Tofty losing. Mountain is about the same.

Sport really missed a trick in 21 after Covid should have made huge changes for the future but sadly didn't. Never mind though we can always get a 27 year old Aussie in the NDL on a 3 point average and support it An Aussie who's come along way to score 1 point in 3 meetings!

OldtimerRay Posted May 17, 2023 Report Share Posted May 17, 2023 Ryan Kinsley paid 11 tonight for Oxford , would have been far better with Joe Thompson than Clegg and Ablitt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand why they made the double change, but signing a 4 point rider on a 5 point average was not the right thing to do, Kemp or Dan T would've been my picks ahead of Clegg. On current form Scunthorpe should certainly sign Kinsley to replace Ablitt in 28 days if he's not kept on by Oxford.
