You were the one that claimed the Poole reserves are better than a guy averaging almost 10. Obviously been a long day for you. To be honest in all the excitement I forgot Palovaara was still at reserve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anders was terrific again. Is he? One good race. Struggled in last 3 away meetings. Good job Ritchings did well tonight otherwise Plymouth may have just held on.

Seems to know where to ride on the track. Improving every home meeting. Be interesting to see how he does at Glasgow against their 2 pointers next week.

Whether that be Ritchings Kerr or Thompson. Although there’s a chance that Cairns will make the team challengers on his own if it is the expected straight swap Poole will be 1.26 over the limit in June. So Cairns for Starke wouldn't give them much to play with to strengthen elsewhere (if they wanted to). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supersub Posted Wednesday at 09:43 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 09:43 PM 6 hours ago, foreverblue said: I think Vinnie had a lot of improvement still to come although to be honest he has yet to show it this season. Starke as you say could work out better as he can be a help to Cairns when they ride together and benefit from his experience. Not sure it matters where Zach rides really as long as he rides a bit better than he has done. after tonight is Starke safe or will Ricchings be retained? Next weeks meeting should be good-Cairns, Rushen, Vinnie Ford & Ritchings + more exciting riders. Looking forward to it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy The Rebel Posted Wednesday at 10:37 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 10:37 PM Well we made hard work of that tonight we look nowhere near a title winning team at the moment,Zachs idea moving to 5 well that’s gone about as bad as it could have another shocking meeting in general,Kerr lacked speed all night and to get 5-1d by Thompson and Trigger at home is pretty embarrassing and a real worry. I think it can’t get more obvious than tonight that Rowe needs to be put to 5 asap it just feels like positions 3,4,5 are a mess at the moment Kerr 3,Zach 4,Rowe 5. As for Rowe another masterclass showing why he will be one of the top average riders in this league and Lawson again solid as ever,special mention to Darryl Ritchings who was the match winner for me and should of been rider of the night,and I think the management are going to have a decision to make soon wether cairns comes in for Starke or Ritchings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Starke (3.7) and Kerr (7.07) were to make way, totaling to 10.77, and Carins comes in on a 2 does that not leave 8.77 for the pirates to play with? That would leave the pirates a few options like Ben Cook(should be back on the bike in a month and maybe looking for more meetings to get himself fit and make up for lost time/ earnings) and even Scott Nicholls if he’s recovered and not retired 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So with Poole being 41.26 eff 1st June could fair out 10.77 and replace with a maximum 9.51 if I have my maths correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaves a good amount of points for Poole to play with if they do decide to drop Starke for cairns, I don’t think Starke will be dropped for Cairns and it’ll be interesting to see who picks up Ritchings right away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
