Shaleshifter 177 Posted June 19, 2022 (edited) The Pirates welcome the Gladiators to Wimborne Road this coming Wednesday with revenge on thier minds after the 16 point drubbing down at the Coluesium back in May. This will be a tough encounter and if the Gladiators have Chris Harris guesting then the meeting could go down to the wire. My view is the reserves and second strings will need to come to the party and I believe this where the Pirates have the upper hand. Weather looks good so bring on the action. Thoughts?

lisa-colette 6,022 Posted June 19, 2022 Don't think they can use Harris away from home anymore cos of averages, whereas at home you are allowed 5% above for no1. Skidder did mention Howarth or Pickering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also Brum are at home to Redcar. Edited June 19, 2022 by lisa-colette 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doners123 85 Posted June 19, 2022 Hopefully if available howarth who scored 11 on his last visit with Leicester and meeting before scored 12 as guest for Newcastle at number one. if not Pickering who scored 7 on his last visit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure that Garry May will be eager to use a Leicester rider if he can as they have added interest in doing what they can against poole to ensure Leicester have top spot and picks when it comes to play offs.

Catalan 717 Posted June 20, 2022 Try Kyle Howarth if available. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The reserve match-ups will be interesting with Ablitt up against his best mate McGurk. Hopefully Danny King has his machinery sorted out now after his 15 points max in the heats at Mildenhall yesterday - even though Richard Lawson won the Final!! Wednesday is the last meeting before the averages are sorted for July with likely Steve Worrall going to Number 1 for the Pirates Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd love to see us get something at Wimborne Road but with McGurk, Morley and Bowtell we'll be lucky to get 5 points based on recent form. I'd love to be wrong but I'd say Poole by at least 10, probably more like 54-36. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has always been good at Poole and that was an off night for him. Morley guested for Leicester a couple of weeks ago and beat Drew in reserve race. But hot day on Weds so track will be a lot different to the Leicester meeting! So I would say Poole by 8 but closer if the danes have a good night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(no doubt some stastician can clarify) I'd think if they leave Wimborne Road with that record intact they will be mighty pleased. 50-40 maybe? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
