tocha Posted August 26, 2023 Report Share Posted August 26, 2023 (edited) Just 9 hours to go and no thread. Leicester are at full strength but there are changes to the Tigers' line up. Musielak is riding in Poland, Jason Edwards comes in place of injured Gilkes and RR for Ellis. A 'must win' for both sides. LEICESTER: Max Fricke, Craig Cook, Richard Lawson, Justin Sedgmen, Richie Worrall, Jake Allen, Drew Kemp.SHEFFIELD: Ryan Douglas, Adam Ellis R/R, Josh Pickering, Kyle Howarth, Tai Woffinden, Lewis Kerr, Jason Edwards.

The Third Man Posted August 26, 2023 Report Share Posted August 26, 2023 its not a must win for Sheffield, we only have to win our two home matches to match Ipswich's maximum points total, and we have a much bigger points difference 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted August 26, 2023 Report Share Posted August 26, 2023 Leicester are the team under pressure for the points. Sheffield will breeze into the play offs with their home points from the remaining fixtures Leicester win nailed on here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishersGate Posted August 26, 2023 Report Share Posted August 26, 2023 Not sure about this meeting. Could go either way. We were shocking against wolves but seemed to put up a fight against Ipswich. Which team will turn up? Douglas is great guest for Sheffield but if mad max is on form he may be on for a 12 plus points tonight. I worry about Allen vs there reserves. Kemp will do ok but Allen seems to have dropped off a little at home. Cook at 2 is an interesting one but Richie against woffy at 5 will be a great battle. I think this all depends on if Leicesters engine room turn up. Sedge, Allen and Cook need to get a few tonight as howarth, pickering, and kerr can hurt us . Edwards is a decent rider also. Going to go for a last heat decider . 46-44 to the lions 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wont convince anyone of this when the original was rained off, apparently it was because Sheffield had a weakened team, Tai couldn't ride and so Holder was going to be replaced by a NL rider, and Sheffield needed to win, now its the other way round Some people have it in for the Bates family for some reason and will have already made their minds up on the result, I'm surprised they cant tell us who is going to score what points Edited August 26, 2023 by The Third Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
