Paco would be a very sensible signing in terms of experience as would Kennett, both on figures they can increase. And the potential of the four youngsters is huge. Will take a very good team to beat that 1-7. Not sure Paco is a great signing personally, Kennett is a good signing on his average though.

Sensible rather than great, I think he'll benefit from a change of scenery though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t see his average going down has scored pretty decent at Poole over the years,his average at Poole is 5.90 62points over 42 rides.

Glasgow, Oxford, Scunny can have that! How is that team not favourites? Even if Lawson only wins half his races v Oxford, that team would beat them comfortably. Your reserves would be running riot. Lightcap is way better than a 4 point average, and Kennett done a great job of lowering his average last year. I expect them to have the highest average reserves in the league all season. Anything other than winning the Championship would be a disappointment from that 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people - including Fraser himself - didn't realise how bad his injuries were! Hope he has a speedy and complete recovery. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy The Rebel Posted Friday at 07:03 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 07:03 PM McDiarmid isn’t doing championship next season he announced it this morning,so looking like Castagna in the middle order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neila Posted Friday at 07:15 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 07:15 PM Sounds like Frazer s injuries were a lot worse than they appeared, good luck in recovery, hope he remembers health is more important than speedway 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upskill Teams I think most Poole fans would agree gaming Kyle in the team but as we know in sport there can’t be to much sentiment,the management are there to put title winning teams together. Kennett and Lightcap will be the strongest reserve pair in the league no doubt and when Kennett moves up that will change the dynamic and it will change most months after that but effectively we will have heatleader points at reserve so that makes up for the lack of a number 5 like from previous years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes agree with you, Kennett is a great signing and Lightcap had to return after last season's performances but Kennett could start as a second string, have a weaker reserve and a stronger heat leader at number 5.

I certainly would prefer Kyle in my team than Castangne, but Poole are about winning, and Castagne on paper is the better rider and more likely to up his average than Kyle would be. I’m sure Kyle must have a place lined up after a great season last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
