King, Wright, Howarth, Schlein best choices. Scott Nicholls also fits btw, but prob not a choice for obvious reasons. But not stopping Josh guesting for Brum when could affect Edinburgh. 0.51 too high at home (0.94 away) which for a sport that works to 1/100 of a point is quite a lot!

lbw Posted August 29, 2023 Report Share Posted August 29, 2023 If Dan Bewley is allowed to replace Lawson in the Premiership then he should be allowed to do it in the Championship. Yes it would be laughable if allowed but equally outsiders would raise the question why isn't it allowed when it's the same riders involved. Anyways our Rocket Man is better than Dan......maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like Birmingham's easy option rather than to sign a permanent replacement for Nick Morris was to book Josh Pickwickering for as many of the remaining fixtures as possible (except for the meeting up in Edinburgh of course) - A semi-permanent guest #1 kind of arrangement kind of thing is probably better than having someone different every meeting.

lbw Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 (edited) In London Victoria in plenty of time to av me Costa flat white Looking forward to seeing Ben Cook & Joe Thompson ride, not forgetting the rest of the Pirates. Watched both the Thompson's progress at Leicester & I never thought I'd see one of them in Pirates colours. Joe is certainly at the right club for support after being messed about this season. It's great to hear all the fans getting behind him like they did with Nathan Ablitt. Great to see Joe getting the results on track. Josh Pickering I'm sure will be amongst the points for the Brummies but the rest I dunno. Both Sedgy & Batch are disappointing when they should be better, I think Nielsen & Fergel Starkey pose a bigger threat. Pirates to be clear in the distance with my predict-ometer reading 57-33.

Steve Shovlar Posted August 30, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 The only wave will be the Pirate boys waving goodbye to the Brummies as they vanish in our wake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
