Agrotron 955 Posted July 8, 2014 I just dunno I don't think our current Poole side will win it this year we will make the playoffs but I just have one of them feelings. As for the comment regarding Ben he can ride a Speedway bike but looks down on power and is out of his depth in EL and to carry on in the EL will imo only dent the lads confidence more, Ben is trying his best he doesn't want to do this bad but I would personally like to thank him for giving it a go and all the best in the future. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marko 956 Posted July 8, 2014 Like the fast track system but there is no way a rider like Ben Hopwood should be part of it, he is a very average NL rider at best but he is not the only one currently like that racing in the EL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foreverblue 6,116 Posted July 8, 2014 (edited) Is he? Really? Take your Poole hat off for a second. The only one in my list you could say maybe Dudek as i already said Zmarlik is a maybe. Kasprzak, Hampel, are proven on the world stage. Miedzinski is a GP winner who averaged more than Magic over here. Pawlicki senior is proving he is the better rider Pawlicki Junior has in my mind progressed past him. Dudek is a world under 21 winner though it could be stated he has stalled although was included in the pairs. Zmarlik ok you can have that one. I would put money on it, on the big tracks the world cup will be contested on he is better than the Pawlicki's and i would say Piotr is the better Pawlicki now, so i would say the final polish team will be KK,Hampel, Miedzinski and Janowski or Dudek in place of Miedzinski like last years team. Averages over here arn't going to matter to the Polish team manager. Edited July 8, 2014 by foreverblue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob B 1,265 Posted July 8, 2014 Why does Ward fall off, possibly his knee prob? Last night he was trying to pass Nicholls, went into the bend too fast and nearly clipped Nicholls rear wheel, taking avoiding action crashed into air fence at quite speed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,658 Posted July 8, 2014 (edited) How do you mean didnt take long? I watched the match on bet 365 and wrote what i saw. I have not slagged off the Pirates merely said Ward is falling off to much and that Magic could cost Poole. I praised Milik and said i was surprised by the margin of defeat. That is how i saw it. I also said Pawlicki had a poor meeting but has been good all season. If your take on the meeting is different let me know. . For someone who has nothing against Poole or Poole riders, (as you have stated many times} I don't see you on any other meeting thread criticising the losing team or its riders in quite the same way as you do Poole!! I suppose we should be grateful Poole don't lose too many times in an average season otherwise we could get quite bored with your posts! ps. Still no clarification as to how KK can replace Janowski??? Edited July 8, 2014 by Skidder1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still no clarification as to how KK can replace Janowski??? jeez dont take shovlars mantle. i comment on meetings i watch wether live , on sky or on bet365. Go over other meetings invovling Poole and see if i have commented because i havent for some time unless they are live. Also i comment on lots of differnt threads but dont worry yourself with not looking. Go to the prem section im on there mainly but as a speedway fan i can comment on meetings i watch. Dont think i slagged off Poole. Said Ward is falling off to much which is a fact. Said i dont think Janowski is getting any better which is an opinion. When i stated KK to replace Janowski is what tongue in cheek and if you look at it i did write ' does it fit' afterwards as id not bothered to check. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
