There are about 4 teams in the league that look on a par you don't win nothing on paper What makes the Poole team stand out is that every rider has the potential to improve their average, some more than others, of course some riders may struggle to start with but when they have all settled in should be some exciting nights ahead.

Plus we are the masters of not topping the league and winning the play offs. Think Wolves are getting weaker with every other team announcement. Think we will suffer by not having a recognised number one and weak reserves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mate dont worry about it, its all pure jealousy.. Yes they all have to preform come to the party and stay clear of injury. I as a fan like the team very much and Matt is more than happy with it.. Im very sure the new boys will get plenty of laps in on P&P day. Both Chris and Neil can play a pivital part in teaching the new boys how to ride poole properly. I fully expect Chris to be captain, but needs to get involved more in the pits.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree he SHOULD be, but dropped to 2nd to Troy last year and starts 4th in line this! He certainly hasn't been riding anything like a number one over the past 12 months. So time will tell eh?

A fit and focused Chris will finish top of the PL standings and push these upstarts in the GP series. That is what i expect him to do. form is tempary class is permanant..

ouch 1,189 Posted January 30, 2018 Holder will be fine. Most Poole riders suffer a loss of form during their year away and then click right back in on their return. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bleeds Pirate Blue 192 Posted January 30, 2018 Kurtz will top the Poole averages. He's a 'out and out number 1' in this league. He took a knock at the worst possible time last year, was rushed back (WU21 Final) and struggled to re-find his early season form as a result. He is better in the UK than his average from last season suggests [opinion]. If he can stay healthy (always a big if in this sport) he'll push 9.00 [more opinion]. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi mate, Brady will have a good season all being well. He will continue to improve in his own time, he's a slow burner.. But whether he will improve enough to be top of the pile remains to be seen. He has to curb his enthusiaum at the gate, that cost him the Aussie title. And refs will pick it up.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supersub 79 Posted January 30, 2018 You may be riight about Brady but IF & its. A big If CH hits form there could be a 5 rider challenge for the No 1 spot, yes Woyrina may be one of them although the least least likey I admit! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
