Everybody has a reliable source. No doubt news will be clearer soon. Certainly be one of the questions getting asked at the wolves talk in next week. I'd rather believe the promotion than a reliable source.

Sissis isn't British , he is Australian.

Freddie was dreadfully slow all season long in 2015! Had the usual handful of meetings when he couldn't be bothered, you did watch the match at Blunsdon on Sky didn't you?

Not disputing that. Still expect several below key performances as per usual.

Sorry had to have a little chuckle at that TR. He certainly rides here regular in Britain, just not regularly in any one season.

Bacon is a 2 pointer. Signed for Peterborough as their 2 pointer also. Definitely progressed at Birmingham this year and could be worth a shot if most teams are signing 2 pointers next season.

No surprise and a no brainer that the blonde enigma is back with Poole. Shame loyalty has meant they have dispensed with Holder tho. As always expect Poole to have a solid side .

It's a waste of time asking but care to quote what junk I have been spouting on this thread then? It's a pointless request. Which kind of sums up your posting history. No doubt you will come back with more vacuous responses. Thank god there are some sensible Poole fans that make sense.

But breaking rules and deliberate trolling is perfectly okay? Not surprised to see whose camp you lie in. You only get a ban if you flaunt the rules, no one gets anyone a ban. There actions gets them a ban. I have no time for trolls and multi avatars and people who think it's okay to break rules. Free speech is one thing. Deliberate outing is NOT free speech. Proves nothing. Just a suggestion someone might be on a holiday. MIGHT.

Really, I haven't read anything. And not fooled either.

They always have done unless something has changed this year which I doubt. Both Bjerre boys are on good value averages so decent signings.

Max has now retired.

He is owned by Lakeside.

Have previously stated that Zack Wajtknecht had the highest average of those mentioned.

Race format was the same tho which was my only point. But yea I agree, fail to see why some still are banging on about it.

The race format was the same in 2014 as it was in 2016, and 2015 for that matter.

Absolutely valid CMA.No one can argue he got better as the year he rode as world champion. He had a poor 2014 in the UK. Just because it doesn't suit some posters point of view it doesn't make the average wrong. One could argue that several riders are on false averages for one reason or another (injury/loss of form/etc), it doesn't mean their average weren't earned. You could of course re-grade every single rider based on what they should be and obviously that would be silly. A bit like some moaning at Tai using his valid average. Of course the sensible thing for the BSPA to do is to regrade any rider missing a complete season out of the UK. But of course our governing body don't do sensible!

A long time?? About 3 years ??

Tom definetly improved whilst Georgie was also impressive on the limited times I saw him. Not sure either are good enough for a top flight number 7 spot tho but hope they get a PL spot. Both have certainly got better this year.

Not that much difference personally , Shanes is 2nd in average of those 4. Having watched the Birmingham team all season at this stage I'd personally put Shanes at the top of those at this stage of their careers. Zack was nowhere near as effective as 2015 whilst Shanes added nearly a point. If I was to put them in order of who I'd want at my top flight club as a 2 pointer for potential I'd go with. JPB Jack Smith Shanes Hume Zack

3rd tier clubs aren't allowed to own assets.

Agreed but just goes to show how exciting he was to achieve an average of 8.53 without making many gates!

Fixtures clashes are key for all the riders irregardless if they are number one or number 7 because sometimes a guest can make you stronger however in the most it is likely to be someone weaker as a replacement. There are quite a few 2 pointers equally as good as Shanes but hopefully the clashes can be kept to a minimum.

Great to see Poole taking a chance on Shanes. One of the most exciting national league riders and a joy to watch IMHO. Gating will be exposed at this level however another of the next breed of promising riders.

Don't mention the G word, it's gone strangely quiet thank god.
