Poole have finished top before and lost in play off, e.g. against Coventry who had also been bottom of league but by careful manipulation had Pawlicki at reserve.
Very difficult call, but I predict table to finish Somerset, Poole, Kings Lynn, Belle Vue. Somerset may well pick Poole on recent results. But very open year and will depend on weather & injuries, IMHO.
Yep to be honest most, if not all No 1's ave disappointed, despite it being a weaker league, even Doyley. There have been a few pluses-Lambert & Bewley for a start
Brady for whatever reason has not lived up to a No 1, particularly in Heats 13 & 15. He is young and should improve but has generally been disappointing
I have to agree forever. Garry knew what he was doing, just shows what a farce it is, but that's the rules. Vissing would probably have scored 0-2 points whereas R/R will probably pick up 8+. Poole to win but notby enough
