Haha heard it all now .. the heat being blamed on the journey up !!! 

As excuses go that is the best one I’ve ever heard…. I feel sorry for the Poole riders who obviously don’t have air con 

#airconforpoole

Poole simply carrying riders .. reserves are probably the worst 2 in the league or close to it so when one of the top boys struggles it heightens the issue and Kerr having a mare…. Still Lawson and Rowe I heats 13 and 15 could mean Poole get something 

The same reserves who scored paid 15 at home to Glasgow?

Seeing as how I love my stats, before today's match, 2025 averages.

Starke 4.07, Foord 3.37, Ritchings 2.50.

One bad meeting does not mean Starke was a poor signing, remember he was signed on an average below 4!

I know Poole don't like to lose (who does) but this loss doesn't really cost them, they'll still finish comfortably in the top 4.

Well done to the Comets, much better on the day. Ian Brannan can go home Happy.

 

Certainly knew who he was supporting, very biased on the commentary

Great win for Workington.

In hindsight maybe Poole should have kept Richings as one of their reserves. 😂

Hope you're not having a pop at Will Cairns

100%. Matt rarely makes mistakes with team building but what would you rather have? A rider who is up for it every ride, determined to improve, or a rider who with due respect, his better days are long behind him and he just can’t do it anymore.

No blame for Cairns. Just turned 16, tough reserves and on their home track. Did well to beat Foord for his point. 

To be fair to Ford, most teams would settle for 5 out of their top 6 upping their starting average. I can understand  some fans being frustrated, but it seems like Starke is doing his job, looking at his average. But i don't watch Poole meetings, so can only go by averages, and not the eye test.

Start..  Lawson  9.17.    So far... 9.86

            Cook 6.23                       7.38

            Kerr  7.76                         7.39

            Rowe  6.11                        8.43

            Thomsen 4.41                 5.45

            Starke   3.36                    4.07

Kerr is the only one, but is only 0.37 under his starting average.

Wondering if the long haul up in the heat has had an effect but shouldn’t be an excuse.

Gavan is losing the plot tbh. First he down plays Cairns 8+1 vs Glasgow by saying Glasgow have the worst reserves. (Cairns also beat Hume as well) and now we have the worst reserves.
