Yes. Since 1985. Home and away. Though I missed a few last season through health issues. Yourself?

I ardently support the Pirates but I am not blinkered and if I don’t like something I will say it. 

We only missed one match, and if you look in the championship winning photo you will see us at Glasgow,

Good for you Kevin. But I don’t think I know you. I have been home and away for the last 40 years. Surprised we haven’t crossed paths. But like I said, last season I have had health issues which have restricted my travels. Next season I will hopefully get away a bit more.

Grown adults arguing about the topic of discussion.😂

Anyway, for the sake of satisfying the topic police, I think Fraser Bowes could be a great signing.

Is the plan for Cairns to start at reserve? If so, that’ll be huge for the Pirates.

The plan was always for him to start the season at reserve, be interesting to see if he can get into the main body

I don’t know his average, but Cairns at reserve will be massive for not only Poole, but the rider himself; it affords him time to develop at his own pace.

With his average why would he start anywhere else?

Poole need Zach Cook to save the day because the side looks a little weak at the moment.

Gilkes can never stay fit hence why he's always on bargin averages, Kerr is declining and has no improvement left in him and Bowes isn't that good tbh.

Bit dramatic I think, Lawson was the best rider in the league last year, and certainly can do that again, Kerr improved as the year went on, if he picks up where he left off his average will certainly go up. 
Cairns has potential to be one of the best reserves in the league, so does the rumoured other reserve for the pirates. 
I can’t comment on Bowes other than he looked lightning quick in a few of his races round Poole last year. 
Gilkes will relish riding with Lawson and if he stays fit he could hit a GSA of 5. 
 

If Zach signs he will probably be the best number 5 in the league, so Poole would have the Best 1 and 5 and potentially the best reserves. And then 3 riders I expect averages to go up

Poole always needed Zach back so very good news he will be. You can't say Gilkes will never stay fit, he has been unlucky with injuries and has had many but you can't say he will never stay fit. As for Kerr he now has a low average considering his ability so I expect an increase.

Be great to bring this post up when Osborne has his way with Poole. 
 

You really are a first class w@nchor aren't you. 
 

You and Shovlar are two of the biggest parasites on this forum.

This sums-up the energy on this forum.😂

Man asks if Cairns will start at reserve and goes on to say he doesn’t know his average, then receives this unhelpful, shorthand response.

I’d love to log-on here one day without encountering petty arguing or childish responses.

This is the Poole thread. That sort of post will definitely get some childish responses! 😀
