They keep talking about young talent,yet not many are getting a fair go. Just fiddling about in the numbers game…….he can still pull out the stops on occasion…….

To sign him at his best would mean signing him as a heat leader & not a reserve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jaizer 2,903 Posted November 13, 2022 If Lawson's to stay at Poole alternative would be the other worrall and maybe Stefan nielsen? Or howarth and James Pearson. Or batch and someone like ruml. But given we've released danyon whose similar average to ruml I assume not going down that route Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only thing I’m reasonably confident about is Nowak. I’d be surprised if we don’t see him. The rest, pure guesswork. Tom held his average well riding at #5, which to be honest was a really tough gig for him early in the season. But he grew into it well, and is well placed to take another step next year, I’d say. I think he just needs to work a bit on consistency, but I don’t think any Glasgow fans would be disappointed to see him back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because he might want to ride at Glasgow? I expect him to be at Poole but as we've all seen umpteen times in the past riders usually end up riding where they want to be.

Do you want the rest of us to have a meltdown?….lol 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only way Poole would let that happen if maybe a swap for Tom. That's the whole point, if a rider is strong willed enough their parent club gets no choice. Kennett, Miedzinski, Batchelor and Crump are all examples from the past. 36 minutes ago, Fortythirtyeight said: No, they usually end up where they can get the best deal. Yep, probably amounts to the same thing. Location and race night probably contribute in some cases too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
