Will need more experience, would love to see Nic back at Poole next year. Who's Bailey the young rider who retired a couple of seasons back forget what his first name was ?

A assume Beau Bailey the young Aussie that's been doing well in the SGP3 the last few years. Thinks you're referring too Connor Bailey that was at Glasgow and Redcar.

ASpeedwayfan Posted Tuesday at 03:12 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 03:12 PM Would Beau come in on a 4 or a 5? with Lawson who’s average will be above 9 Rowe will be around 8 and then Cairns who might be close to 4 Bailey also a 4/5 and Rushen on a 2. Would be an exciting start to the team building. I expect Zach to return as I don’t see him making the same step than Ben did. Lawson 9.2 Approx rowe 8 Approx cairns 4 Approx Bailey 4 or 5? Rushen 2 = 28ish would leave potentially 12 points for the final 2 spots, plenty of room to go big with a 8 pointer or strength in depth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On whether Poole allow a slot for him in the hope by end of January he’s secured it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beau would be an exciting talent but no doubt every team in the league would probably take him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see win at all cost pilots fans liking this side Lawson Rowe and Zach should score you near 30 each week, that 4th rider would be so pivotal as it would need to be a rider who can consistently chip in with 5 or so points. then you’ve got the 3 young guns in Cairns Rushen and Bailey who 2 of which have spent all of this season being by far the best 2 riders in the NDL. let’s wait and see how watered down the league is this time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WookieboyDon Posted Wednesday at 08:23 AM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 08:23 AM Believe me, Beau Bailey will be Australia's next big thing. Massive talent. Showed plenty of mental strength in the SGP3 final to get a medal after crashing in his first heat. And most important of all, he is properly rapid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirates Of Poole Posted Wednesday at 09:57 AM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 09:57 AM Personally for me I feel it’s time for Zach to move on, he needs a fresh challenge and feel he has got abit stale on the Poole track this year. Been great for us don’t get me wrong, but like Kerr unless he gates he just follows the rider in front on the line for 4 laps half the time instead of trying outside lines etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fromafar Posted Wednesday at 12:15 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 12:15 PM Do you think it would be better with all these “next season signings” when this season is over, or is “average manipulation “ coming into play🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
