Barker, Kennett, Andersen are all decent riders but have reached their level. Interesting to see what Bowtell will do with no reserve rides. Decent side but will be a few better I think. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't see Kennett improving his average, but everyone else could do once they get dialed in on the unique Plymouth track. As long as they beat Poole @ Wimbourne road I will be happy as will many others! People have overlooked that Richard Lawson's 2021 season finished with injury, has he fully recovered? might take a while to get back in the grove. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cookie was dragged out his sick bed and once tie was over didn't burst a gut. Sam no great on small tracks. Yes well I think MPT isn't keen on smaller tracks but when all is on the line MPT turns up, Craig Cook only turned up at Poole when the final was over.

So he's signed for Plymouth why then So in your opinion a rider with average more than a point lower than the others turns up more often?

Cook the hero out of his sick bed! Haha. He is always moaning and always has a excuse for a poor meeting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes I agree, bottom end looks a little weak for the title in my opinion but could make the playoffs possibly but until we know the makeup of the other teams going to be difficult to judge.

If he turned up every meeting he wouldn't have a 7 point average!! My god you've some chip on your shoulder about cookie.

What I said was when it is all on the line MPT turns up. If he rode like he did in the Premiership final every week he wouldn't have a 7point average so we agree on that bit but I think on his current average he is worth a place in any team.

Yes and my point was he doesn't do that in championship. You'll notice no Redcar fans on here bemoaning him leaving. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Atkins could be really good at reserve and Gilkes should get better but I don't see any improvement in the top 3 or Barker. If Plymouth are to make the playoffs I fancy at least 1 change at the top end would be needed mid season. Time will tell of course and lets see what other teams do but based on the strength of teams last season I'm not sure about the playoffs let alone the title.
