Their form suggest the jump up from reserve isn't so hard? Palin, Brennan, Flint a lot better all round than Dan, at the moment, is the answer really 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think criticism of the twins and comparisons with Flint / Palin is unfair. Flint had a full NDL season in 2018 and again in 2019 and would be 12-24 months ahead of the Twins and Palin may simply be a better rider at this point. Due to Covid it's safe to say that both twins were thrown a bit in at the deep end in 2021, the NDL was not the League it once was in terms of depth and the CL is stacked with a lot of experienced second strings and reserves. I think both are still ahead of the curve. Maybe time for them to split and I wonder if Joe might go to Oxford possibly, although that could be a big stretch for their parents at this stage of their careers until they become more self sufficient. Probably level at this stage with likes of Bickley and Edwards who have more experience. Give them a break! 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lenny Lion 138 Posted November 25, 2021 It’s unlikely the twins will be separated. On Joe’s average I can’t think of many riders that are better or equal to him but I also think they are both worth another season & will only improve anyway. Dan struggled at number 2 but he will learn & build on 2021. If we are sat here in 12 months & they have not kicked on again then I would agree on a 5+ average Dan would be a risk. Joe will be the next one announced . I can only assume Howarth will be back & then there is speculation of Anders Rowe which for me is a bit left field a name which has never been mentioned before. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like the way the team has been developing with the first four signings. Not sure why Rowe is a left field name. Based on my experience at a couple of Team GB training days earlier in the season I would rank Rowe behind Flint & Brennan but ahead of Palin and everyone else. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You Poole supporters talking about Steve Worrall signing for Leicester? That's confusing, not to mention strange. Are you keen to offload him or something?
