Can't blame you for that, I find it more interesting too!

Yes he seems to find the Poole team more interesting than his own. Can't blame him for that.

I never wanted him at Poole so dont really mind where he ends up.

Riding a decent track tipped the balance!! He is used to riding Sheffield! Howarth told Scunny he wanted a track closer to home!

Yes Zach and Anders should be improvers so should Tobias who was averaging well above his average at the end of last season but I also think kerr should be able to improve on his current average too.

He started 2024 on 8.39 so he should be aiming to get back to that.

No he isnt, with his ability he should be a 8.5 point rider and was at the start of last season but had a bad season so it dropped. Riding with Lawson I expect him to get back to at least that level, he is a top rider in the championship, just needs to show it.

Kerr needs to step up next season or we are stuffed.

Most people guessed Kerr and Rowe would be in the team, you said Thomsen was not in the team. Personally did not want Kerr as he gets injured alot and that doesnt help, would have preferred an improving rider like Dan Thomson.

Hume is a very likeable lad and I am sure his family would have kept him grounded, I believe when he rode for Poole he worked for his dad when he could. I thought at the time he had potential but it seems he has found premiership level a bit tough in recent years and it will not be easy for him to score many points.

I expect most would feel deflated after meeting him!

I know that, that is why I apologised.

Looks like a pretty decent team Workington are putting together.

Post now deleted apologies for any offence.

Deleted.

Howarth is better than Rowe especially at Sheffield, Hume is not premiership quality, Gilkes could compete at reserve but Hume can't, not much in it between Edwards and Flint both have the talent but need to up their game.

How do you know what position he will start at, he is second in the teams averages so that would indicate he is a heat leader, I think his average would indicate a rider of 3rd heat leader quality, especially at home, a track he rides very well, he is as good as any 3rd heat leader in the premiership that has been announced with the exception of Sheffield.

Well i think a Poole team would be built differently to Kings Lynn but reserves win matches and KL will have the best reserve all season. You always need one good reserve which is why Sheffield will struggle.

Danny King but I doubt he is available or Dan Thompson, either would be better than Howarth or Kerr.

Wouldn't want either personally.

Would Foord want to ride with Jack or Tai?

It will be interesting to see how Kings Lynn fare against Sheffield, the trouble with the Sheffield reserves is that neither are good enough to beat their opposite number on a regular basis, they will be on the back foot after two races. The championship is a lower standard but not much lower, Lawson is a heat leader in both.

You can stick your black hole where the sun don't shine.

Sheffield will have to make changes or Tai will be moaning again about riders not being good enough!!

Yes very risky, reserves win matches, those two wont score many points.
