Looks like men against boys tonight, I thought Leicester would bounce back but Edinburgh have folded and made life easy for them.

Doesn't make good TV when one team is so much better on the night. Masters not having a heat win yet is not normal either.

Yes Leicester look up for this one. I thought they would bounce back after the mauling at Poole.

Leicester off to a good start.

Yes I agree he could be a trump card at reserve but Starke hasn't been at his best lately so that is partly why I fancy our chances. We know it will be tough but I think and obviously hope we can do it.

Personally i think it will be very close overall, if Glasgow had Hume i would be quite worried by without him i think we should win but it obviously doesn't always work out the way you expect.

We are all entitled to an opinion! Feel free to post anything you want to on a Poole thread we don't mind.

So he is fresher than others and maybe more importantly his bikes are fresher too.

Yes it is a shame about Hume, he was good for us and has had a good season, nice guy too, I wish him every success in the future.

He won't be at 2. Could be a good reserve through, he is a good rider just a little out of form lately but he could be good for you especially against Zach who isn't always great at Ashfield but has been much better lately.

He did ride for us a few years ago but his form hasn't been great lately in either league but I understand your misgivings about Etheridge who didn't score many last night either but has been better recently, personally I would have thought the most reliable option would be Ruml who rides the Poole track well and has never let anyone down when guesting. It is a tricky one as Danyon was going very well and will be missed.

And Craig Cook came third in the British Final so can't say his inactivity has done him much harm.

I would have thought Etheridge or Ruml would have been better as Starke hasn't been at his best lately.

I doubt that would happen, even if he's recovered it would be a massive after being out so long.

Just don't see that myself, I think Leicester have better riders overall and they will bounce back. This team did top the league table, one bad result doesn't mean that they are a terrible team now.

Because Poole fans responded to others.

Poole fans have only responded to others. Back to the topic, I disagree I think Leicester will be back to form over the two legs and win comfortably.

So what fencing incident involved Edinburgh or Leicester riders?

So you are again talking about two riders who have no relevance on a Edinburgh v Leicester thread.

Poole posters have only commented on this thread in response to others.

This is an Edinburgh v Leicester thread and some see the need to bring up the MPT /Lawson racing incident that happened weeks ago.

Because the Poole haters involve us on every thread.

Last night aside, Leicester have had a very good season, Joe Thompson was in the main body of the team earlier in the season so he must have had a better average than Dan, Dan had a very bad night last night at Poole too considering how well he rode at reserve when Leicester won at Poole earlier in the season.

Yes but until last night you could argue we had a better team last season apart from the the Cooks who were awful at Leicester last season. They have improved alot. Incredible performance from Ben.

Can’t see thay happening myself but playoffs are more important.
