SJA Posted November 4 Report Share Posted November 4 If you are to believe what everyone is saying about Cairns joining when he is 16 then Poole may find it hard to get a reasonable Number 7 with the rider knowing he is likely to be out of a job come the Summer.

Not necessarily. They just need to be on good form so it makes it hard to drop them from the team. Or do better than the other reserve (whoever that may be - so they get replaced instead). Although teams make changes during the season anyway so could get picked up by someone else if they are seen to perform well. Blobby seems to think it's Trigger but whoever it is, at least they have a heads up to what is happening so it is their choice knowing it prob not for a full season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although exams normally end of May/beginning of June, so would very before his 16th birthday anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They think nothing of hiring and driving up to Workington to have a practice for 3hrs . Like most Leicester fans I am very disappointed that Will won’t ride for the Lions at present but understand and respect his decision maybe one day in the future. Although not sure if he may sign as a Lions asset and then be loaned to other clubs in a similar way that BV signed James Pearson then loaned him to Birmingham 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too wonder about Cairns, is he really everything he's cracked up to be? How riders respond to a step up is never predictable, man amongst boys - boy amongst men etc. Think back to the contrast between Max Perry's and Vinnie's response to Championship competition. I wish Cairns all the best, but it's not a forgone conclusion that he's going to do great things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewy Posted November 5 Report Share Posted November 5 Lawson, kerr,zach,Rowe will be the top 4 for Poole they're still unsure of final 3 but I suspect there will be a new foreigner on an assessed average hagon and ford surplus to requirements unless Poole get 38pt team building limit they voted for along with Oxford, Berwick and Edinburgh. I can't see any of the other teams changing their minds imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
