Poole were poor but, Rushen gave it 110% and I thought was impressive, sadly he’s a racer and the track was a railway. Cairns did his job, Bowes was poor.
Should be a good meeting, pirates stronger at reserve but Oxford perhaps stronger everywhere else(especially at home) Riss and Masters will be extremely difficult to beat and I’m sure Rowe will be fired up to prove a point.
Oxford to win, Poole to keep it close and take the agg
Hopefully Lawson is alright, safely through to the next round of our cup. Cooper impressive again, Newman battled. Fraser just needs to be a bit smoother, I don’t know if it’s nerves or just his style but he’s a great gater and often looks fast. Look forward to us facing a Oxford or a Glasgow
Echo this, I’m not even sure if it’s 4H4A for new riders anymore. I assume Poole can’t sign Newman with the attention of swapping him for Gilkes at a later date either? I’d of liked to see Gilkes, but Newman is undroppable. He’s been excellent thus far.
They’ve done fantastic to bring in a Top number 1, possibly the best in the league. They are probably a number 5 away from competing with anyone and everyone. I hope they find one
Can only see a Poole win. But hopefully Scunthorpe put up a fight and we see some good racing.
Do we expect the scorpions to make some early changes? With Pickering average coming down and them having points to play with now?
Tough decision that will need to be made. Although Dan I’m sure has a higher ceiling, if he’s not fit enough to ride now I don’t see him getting to 100% in the coming months. Newman has been fantastic and in my opinion is undroppable. But he’s got a few more meetings to keep doing what he’s doing.
In Zachs defence, he wasn’t going to do championship and only did it after a bit of extra persuading after the Anders situation. Maybe the promise that they’d be much more lenient in allowing him to miss meetings, as the championship this season, is rightfully the bottom of his priorities
He scored 6 from 4 rides there last year riding at 3. But the Plymouth team on that day was horrendous. Littered with guests.
He’s done a good job guessing for us in the past, Sedgman would’ve been my choice with his meeting PP.
I don’t think 4 points will be enough but hoping for a surprise
