It will always be a topic, a bit like Kings Lynn track used to be much better than it is now.

The end result justifies the means.

All riders need to gate at some point, you cant always come from the back even at a big track like Glasgow.

That is a popular unsubstantiated reason why Poole get the best young riders. There maybe a host of reasons and none of them cash related. Don't ask me what reasons but it has been said many times that Poole are not the best payers.

I thought Will did very well to get near a 4 point average at the tender age of 16

Very sensible chap that advisor!!

Good signing not unexpected and rode very well at end of last season.

But maybe Rambo was not available.

Yes good point. Could have had Hagon back and another 3 pointer like Ben Trigger.

But overall Smith had a better season and obviously had a off night as he showed Max the way round at Ashfield. You could say Max has more chance of improving than Jack though.

Well he may well pick up a team place during the season but at the moment it looks like nobody is will to take that punt.

Looks like a Paul Starke size hole to fill.

I just do not see how Dan T could possibly get to a 9.5 average. It would be great to see a young brit get to the same level as Lawson and higher than Chris Harris but on all I have seen up to now I just don't see it although I have no doubt he will be a good number one in this league and maintain his current average.

Pinny is never right!

I think it is safe to assume, teams are all sorted, we will be as you were in the Championship and we will have a highly undesirable 5 team Premiership. As usual the AGM will change nothing.

True, Ritchings was a bonus, far better than Marson.

Of course they knew, Duh, everyone knew.if you have a temporary contract when it finishes you leave.

Everyone knew the situation, Cairns was always in the team when he became available so not dropped as they were only on temporary contracts.

Ritchings knew what was going to happen, we dropped Matt Marson as well but he also knew it was only temporary.

Depends who is available to come in if someone is struggling, we stuck with the same team all season in 2025.

Not for me, just trying to save thousands a wasted journey!!

I don't think so.

When is Plymouth Gladiators track shop open over the Christmas period?

Yes Lawson is notorious at doing that, just checked and Batch has a current gsa of 6.80 and a average of 7.59.

Maybe he has learnt from it, hope so for his own sake because he wont last long at Poole if not.
