Considering 13 and 15 had Nicholls, unbeaten at that point, and Sam Masters off 1 and 3 in both, the pirates could have been looking to pull back up to 16 points in the return. But Worrall produced a great ride in heat 13 and Lawson got ahead of Masters for a surprise 2-4 to dent Oxfords hopes and in heat 14 ripped out any realistic chance with a 1-5 to go two up. Nicholls and Masters gated to win the meeting for Oxford in heat 15 but Poole had negated the risk and it would be a major upset if Pirates don’t go through to the final. Ref Durno excelled himself though in heat 9 allowing a clear and obvious flyer for Kerr. The whole stadium saw it but the ref turned a blind eye. Poor show. Special mention for Kyle Newman with his paid 13. Going to miss his scoring prowess when he swaps with Rowe. Kerr only gated third in Heat 9, so couldn't have been much of a flier 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You were stood with Alan who said to me after the meeting he couldn’t believe Kerr got away with that one. Check your specs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kerr didn't get a "flyer" because he was only third in the first bend, whether he moved or not. The ref quite often will let it go if the rider who moved didn't get an advantage. I assume you weren't too bothered about it being stopped until Kerr somehow squeezed between Lawson and the back straight fence to move from 3rd to 1st. And, of course, Lawson definitely didn't move last night, did he? Or Worrall? It's clear you only see the movement that you want to see Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted May 31, 2023 (edited) He rolled Rob. Big time. Everyone saw it, including yourself. If he hadn’t rolled, he wouldn’t have had the advantage to take the lead. Should have been called back. Why do you think all the Poole fans were making such a racket about it after the heat? And we had a better view of it than yourself. If it was rolls reversed you would have been incensed. Edited May 31, 2023 by Steve Shovlar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

foreverblue 6,096 Posted May 31, 2023 Riders get away with rollers all the time, Kerr got away with one but it wont affect the overall result, we should all be very happy with a two point deficit but Kyle Newman cant rescue us in every meeting so Anders and Adam need to step up.

I think unless my memory isn't playing tricks that they become compulsory sometime in june, so riders had time to get them sorted. Maybe thats PL only and CL and NDL have longer to get set up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
