Glasgow Tigers Vs Poole Pirates 6/6/25

Firstly, I am surprised that no Tigers fans have started a thred for this meeting.

This is the first of two back to back meetings for the Pirates on their northern tour.

I did both meetings last year and was lucky enough to see two victory's.

Glasgow are riding high after Wednesdays win at Oxford and will be confident of continuing thier winning ways.

I hope that Poole can put up a fight and keep it close but, we are not as strong as last season. 

Thoughts?

Jason Edwards replaces Zach Cook at 3. Anders at 5. Rich Lawson as Capt.

Glasgow have Barker replacing Boughen!!! R/r for Thompson

It won't be close imo. 

Glasgow (TM Cami Brown) Chris Harris, Ben Barker (guest), Rider Replacement for Dan Thompson, Leon Flint, Kyle Howarth, Freddie Hodder, Max Perry, Ace Pijper
Poole (TM Gary Havelock) Richard Lawson, Tobias Thomsen, Jason Edwards (guest), Lewis Kerr, Anders Rowe, Paul Starke, Darryl Ritchings

I wonder why Glasgow aren't doing r/r at 2 like everyone seems to do?

Because our reserves are weakest in the league. R/R for Dan all top 4 can take a ride I believe. 

Edwards big upgrade on Cook on ashfield form

Barker a huge upgrade on Boughen,

Glasgow will win but can the pirates get 40? Would be the right time for Kerr to come to the party but not too sure how he goes round Ashfield. Pirates could pull off a bit of a shock but would need all 7 firing and that’s not happened yet this season

Not every team can have as good a manager as Cami Brown :D. Harris in heat 8 is a waste really, better using him against Lawson or Rowe.

He is an upgrade on Zach on current form anywhere.

Yeah I think anything over 5 and we would have to be happy with, Zach seems to only be good for BelleVue and in heat 14 at the moment! 
 

Big meeting for Starke and Ritchings, get the feeling they need to be almost always beating there opposite numbers for Poole to be close, even then you’d expect Harris Barker Howarth and Flint who will all have 5 or 6 rides to make it near impossible for the pirates to get heat advantages

Because Cami the team manager knows what he's doing (never thought I'd say that). r/r at 2 means Chris Harris in heat 8 - waste of your top riders' extra ride coming against a reserve & second string imo

Barker is a big upgrade on Boughen. Don't think r/r should awaken Glasgow too much, but may score a point or two less than Dan T would've.

On paper could be a big win, but Glasgow's weak reserves could keep it closer. Mind Starke & Ritchings aren't the strongest of opposition, so who knows?

I like that logic, Harris in heat 5 against Lawson, Howarth in heat 9 against Rowe. Flint can only go in heat 12, so Barker in heat 3.

Harris gets a two-on-the-trot, but none of the other 3 do.

Yes Ipswich put Emil at 2 the other day, did not work at all as he came last in heat 8!!

Starke and Ritchings are not the strongest but they should beat Perry and Hodder although both of those look more on the pace recently in my opinion.

I’m clearly lost these days…….:)

Why a guest for Boughen who rode (badly again) for KL last night? Likewise Dan Thompson rode for Ipswich. And what’s happened to Zach?

I'd be more concerned on why a guest for Cook whose chosen to ride in Poland over the club he captains personally!!
