Bojangles Posted August 15, 2023 Report Share Posted August 15, 2023 Ashton Boughen guesting for Workington at number 1. Can only see a big home win with Killeen at reserve, though. Chargers: 1 Jordan Jenkins, 2 Jacob Clouting, 3 Ryan Kinsley, 4 Jody Scott, 5 Henry Atkins, 6 Luke Killeen, 7 Jason Garrad Comets: 1 Ashton Boughen (G), 2 Sam McGurk, 3 Luke Harrison, 4 Luke Crang, 5 Ace Pijper, 6 Elliot Kelly, 7 Harry McGurk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the rules are comets keep luke, as he is a temporary replacement for Redcar, but as we know they make up the rules to suit themselves. Could be a good guest in Ashton as he is on fire at the minute paid max at berwick on Saturday having his 1st visit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bojangles Posted August 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 (edited) Luke Killeen is not available now, and has been replaced by Kai Ward. Chargers should still win, but expect it’ll be closer. Edited August 16, 2023 by Bojangles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronScorpion Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 But Redcar used him on the 21/7 & 28/7 both at home in the no7 position. How was this allowed as I thought you could only guest 2 weeks on the trot for the no1 position. He must be a 28 day replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronScorpion Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 Rule 12.4.2 (b) b) a rider may ride as a guest (in an official meeting) at a track only once in an 8 day period (within that league) unless he is replacing the home teams #1 or is an NDL rider guesting for the home team 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neila Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 Maybe as previously said a 28 day injury replacement, but letting luke get experience by allowing him to ride for the Comets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing the Harrison's decided guesting was preferable so he wouldn't get an average above 2.00 for next season (or Redcar only offered him the guest spot)?

Bojangles Posted August 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 A pretty impressive win tonight. Jenkins looks untouchable at this level now, and Garrad looks a useful addition at reserve. If the Chargers can do this to Workington without Killeen, it’s going to take a very good side to stop them in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as Ben Morley guesting at Plymouth in consecutive weeks last year, before he then signed for them later in the season. All in the rulebook. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillwhitewasmad Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 (edited) Workington take priority as he is signed for them. It was discussed at length with the Speedway office as to what he could or couldn't do if he accepted the guest bookings for Redcar yesterday was a clash of fixtures so Workington got first call . At this moment in time there are no more clashes and if Redcar are happy to keep using him till Jake is fit he will accept the rides.

Yup, the 8-day-rule is not used for NL riders and I think it's a decent rule, because otherwise it could restrict bookings for younger riders. It's good that Luke can ride for Jake, expect for fixture clashes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronScorpion Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 It could make Ashton Boughen a very busy boy in each half of the play offs for 1 team only. (The rules do not allow guests to ride for 2 teams in the same group in the 3 team semi finals) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would also have prevented Charger Nathan Stoneman guesting for the Cheetahs last year when covering for Josh Macdonald Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
