Tbf he also had a bike issue there. Would have scored his average if not for that. So if anyone moans about that, it is really harsh! 

Mechanical issues 2/2 meetings and he has history for that aswell I say it’s not harsh.

TBF, thats speedway, bike issues, falls, being beaten by better riders. Everone can't ride to their average every meeting.

They know when they sign for Pirates it’s 100% effort. If riders fail to do their job, they know what will happen. Always been that way since Matt took over the club 25 years ago. 

Don’t think seasons Team is as strong as last seasons.Brennan’s improvement was a huge bonus.Kerr will do well to ride to his average which really has to happen IMO for Pirates to conquer like last. Ben And Tom made the difference.Rowe has potential but will it happen.

I think everyone knew that pre-season. Would have been impossible to be as strong with the points limit.

Despite losing to Plymouth they're still one of the top 4 clubs in the league imo. Biggest difference to last year, is they're amongst the favourites, rather than clear favourites.

I agree with most of your points, Kerr is not as good as Ben or Tom, I am sure he will be better than he has showed up to now but whether we can win with him in the team is very debatable. Rowe on the other hand has massive potential and has shown he is capable of putting at least a point on his average.

Every team has the same problem regarding points limit though.It the riders you sign that makes the Team.IMO they have to improve a lot on what I have seen with the riders they have signed.

Poole have lost Cook and Brennan and replaced them with Rowe and Kerr

Take out Foord for Marston and it doesn’t take a genius to work out Poole are weaker 

That said if Rowe can improve and Zach Cook to then Poole will make play offs

I don't there is any danger of not making the play offs but winning the title again is going to be more difficult. we need Rowe and Zach to continue their early season form and Kerr to improve.
