I dont think getting Brennan is a no brainer, has been inconsistent at Poole in the past but I realise as a home rider that should change. Some seem to think he is a 9 point rider on 7 point average, do not see him achieving more that 8.
Obviously I hope it works out for us. If Max is as good as some seem to think maybe another permutation that could of been considered and maybe was considered is Rowe and Newman instead of Brennan and the rider as yet unannounced.
I would agree, especially with Max, we could have had Newman and Joe T instead of Brennan and Max. Sam Hagon is no issue, potentially a very good rider.
I have never said anything about writing Hagon off, he has a lot of potential and could have a great season and I think he will, all i am saying is Perry is a big risk especially as he is coming back from injury.We could used Brennan's points better and had a more strength in depth team.
True but our reserves may struggle against teams who havent gone with 2 pointers, could have got Ablitt back, at least he has experience in this league, Perry may well be one that struggles, just think Brennan's points could be used better lower down.
Personally I do not like the way this team has been built, looks very vulnerable lower down, I would prefer not having Brennan and having better riders lower down with at least one strong reserve.
I think Hume has the ability to be a good rider, far better than he showed last season, for whatever reason did not progress. I am sure he can put at least a point on his average.
i am glad Kyle has a team spot, he did talk of not having one with most teams complete. He may well show us why Poole should have given him another year.
