I think that is highly unlikely

All other Premiership teams completed ages ago

All riders are short term if they underperform

Underestimate Peterborough at your peril.

Yes everyone should have to perform to keep their place, Poole were often criticized for team changes when a rider was under performing but if you don't perform you should get the sack, it is just that if you have two riders competing against each other in the same team they won't help each other and team spirit could suffer.

And even if they did you could change the team just before they came in to effect, even Lemon could work that one out.

I expect they thought it would be unlikely to turn over the best team in the league over two legs so get a cheaper option for the cup and gives them longer to consider their options going forward. Jake is a good rider and very capable of putting a point on his current average so it could be Etheridge that is replaced later in the season,not sure if it is good for the team to have riders competing against each other though.

Oh bugger, I was going to turn up in my kevlars monday, Jake has beaten me to it!!

Because you would have expected a Belle Vue rider to win, surely Fricke should beat Toft, don't know why you would mention Poole fans!!

Well I am sure he can be fitted in somehow, Poole used to be able to fiddle it!! Belle Vue fans must be smarting after a Panther won the Craven meeting!

Sounds like a Kenny Bjerre average

I think riders can be found, it wouldn't suit some riders as they would only have one wage. If all reserves were NL riders then maybe they could fill the void.

No that is true, the only alternative would seem to be one big league.

In my opinion the Premiership is too small, it offers too little variety of teams.

When will the last rider be announced. Monday?

Agree with that, definitely play off material, could even challenge for the title. Adam Ellis is a top rider and could easily put a point on his current average.

Shocking news who saw that one coming!!!

I think there are other rising stars that could surprise a few this season.

I expect he is riding where the money is

Plus he is two years older i believe. It could be a big year for a lot of the rising stars.

I did say in my reply that i thought Brennan has more potential.

There is no truth in the Ruml that Dillion is at Poole next season.

Brennan had 11 rides to Palin's 7 over the two legs. Brennan should score more with 4 extra rides! I think Brennan has more potential but in the final Palin certainly pulled out all the stops.

You would think Brennan was the best rising star but wasn't great in the playoffs and got beat fairly easily by Palin.

Not sure most fans had Peterborough down as the wooden spoon, any team with Harris, Nicholls, MPT, Bjarne and Hans in surely deserves respect. Steve Worrall may benefit away from Belle Vue and I would expect him to improve on his current average especially with a decent team manager.
