We have to get Kemp at 5, we cant use a sub 6 pointer at 5 thinking hes really an 8, plus Gilkes and Kemp are team mates at Leicester ,for me Connor has to go,hes a good little rider but needs a Prem place to keep him racing. Im not sure if Kemp comes we can get Vuolas? Theres no point being 2 under the limit and not using them..So what averages are we lookiong at for Kemp and Vuolas?

Exactly and if you look at what Gilkes said, he was disappointed but understood the reasoning. The facts are he was not fit at the start of the season, he has spent a lot of time and money trying to get fit but he turned up for his first meeting and scored one point so he clearly is not ready yet. From a Poole point of view, we got in a rider to cover for his absence who did very well, this rider is a Pirate through and through who has always given his all for us, to dump him for a not yet fit rider would be stupid. I feel sorry for Dan Gilkes but this is a sensible decision.

They did sign Newman once they knew Gilkes wasn't ready 

Whats the hold up? should get this done before Berwick away.

They're all crap from all parties, half a brain between the lot of them.....we're doomed......

Based on Cammy’s comments about Simon Lambert when he’s guested for Glasgow I can see him coming in for Mario before the gets and official average, especially as Kyle and Leon have added a decent chunk to their rolling averages in 2026.
