Dandelion 775 Posted October 19, 2016 And which of these will be replaced by Woffinden a couple of weeks before the playoffs next season? Well hopefully none of them because hopefully they all stay fit and healthy I don't understand the problem, the management saw an opportunity to improve the team, and they did? The main goal of every sports team in the world is to be successful, is it not? Woffinden didn't come in on an assessed 7 or anything, he came in on his old average, I mean I don't particularly like Woffinden, but I'm just saying O.o 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shale Searcher 1,264 Posted October 19, 2016 Which is what Poole has done and other teams would do if the opportunity arose. But, he is not a 7 point rider, he's the current world champion!!!! Should have been reassessed on his current "Live" league scores from Poland and Sweden..... Which would have probably meant Wolves would have had to get rid of 2 riders, which I bet they wouldn't have wanted to do...... So although not cheating, wasn't really within the spirit of sportsmanship, was it?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He obtained that average whilst world champion so it was entirely an fair representation of his ability in this country 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve0 5,517 Posted October 19, 2016 Do you really believe that...? It was his true average for the season he had while world champion. He had a nightmare season in the EL and Wolves suffered as a result. He came back within 2 years, so why wouldn't you expect that he would have the same average? It was totally within the spirit of sportsmanship - replace a lesser rider with a better one who is on a lower average. No dodgy sicknotes were used! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He hasn't been falsely re-assessed or anything like that he has an average that he obtained whilst World Champion I'm not sure why there is an argument.. Wolves had to suffer him being poor to obtain that average why shouldn't they use it to there advantage its what any good sports team does they try to make there team better 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trees 2,814 Posted October 19, 2016 Let's be honest and fair everyone, no way should Tai've come in on a 7 average, as World Champion he realistically should've been an 8.5. He had a crap year when he obtained that 7! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poole keith 911 Posted October 19, 2016 of course he did thats why he had a 7 ave,thats the way averages work 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dandelion 775 Posted October 19, 2016 LOL the same people crying that Newman should be a 5.00 average are now saying the CURRENT WORLD CHAMPION IS ONLY A 7.00 AVERAGE AS IT REFLECTS HIS ABILITY IN THIS COUNTRY. Hahahahahahahahaha! Kyle should be on whatever average he got from this year, and Woffinden should be on whatever average he got this year, why do they need changing by anyone? An average is an average, and that's the points they scored, regardless of if they're world champion or not, statistics and numbers don't lie 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
