He is flakey, track slightly damp he won't bother and if he misses the gate he doesn't bother, don't want a rider like that myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would love to see Kyle Newman back he ended the season well and could have a good season at reserve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
proud panther 1,507 Posted December 17, 2022 I'm amazed that Poole fans wouldn't want Newman on that average. Bound to improve by at least a point in my opinion, & tries 100% every time he is on track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it is Newman, you can imagine the amount of points he would rack up against many/most of the other teams reserves. At home I doubt many would beat him and also away he would do well. Could well see him swapping the 6 slot with the likes of Zach Cook and the likes of Thomas IF he is one of the signings. Also look at the majority of pairings at reserve for all the other teams on the Championship 2023 team forum page 1 to give you an indication of the riders he would be up against. Could well be a big points puller if with Roynon as the other reserve who will also be racing against plenty of 2 pointers. This could well be an area we more than compensate for not having an out and out recognised 3rd H/L. IF Ben Cook does improve further into that position then it could be a big bonus in both areas.

If Newman is at reserve he will do very well against many of the other reserves so far signed. The chances are he would move up and swap with Jack Thomas who could be one of our second strings. He won’t swap with Zach Cook who has shown his ability and is likely to improve considerably further in 2023. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Point is that If it's Roynon with Newman or Thomas or Zach Cook it gives a decent 6 & 7 throughout the season in comparison to a lot of those named. Yes I am sure a number of the others will improve but when you view against the others named we should score plenty from those 2 positions. Also look at Roynon's CMA on thre Speedway Stats site. In 2022 he rode 11 matches at Redcar and had a CMA of 4.29 or 5.43 if you add his 12 BP. If he can replicate that at Poole we will have a decent pair of reserves. Even away his scores were workable and that was before the 40 point rule and lots of weaker reserves in 2023. Importantly hopefully it keeps us closer in meetings to hopefully set up that all important new aggregate BP over 2 legs in 2023. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisa-colette 6,067 Posted December 17, 2022 I am prob wrong as usual but I'm not convinced Kyle is in the team. First of all when I screen shotted Phantom Pirates's post of the 1-7 (expected 4 plus Kyle, Roynon and Thomas) on twitter, 2 people said it was wrong. So I am assuming the part that is wrong is Kyle. I haven't checked if it fits but would be close, could it be Drew, JT and Roynon?? Though at this point in time think I would rather have DT, JT and Roynon. Also Skidder keeps going on about having Zach start at reserve, so might be slightly different to what we are expecting? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
