Agree with McDiarmid

But I do think Ben and Zach are the better rider to Lawson, and probably a better captain than Lawson. Lawson more reliable especially away, but Ben before he left and Zach last year were out performing Lawson 

Name me a track Lawson is Poor at championship level and there’s your answer.

Zach cook doesn’t go well at Plymouth and Berwick.

He can ride in Poland when we are at those tracks 😂

Think looking at it logically a midweek track is ideal for McDiarmid and him not being at Oxford he would slot into Poole middle order nicely alongside Kennett who I see putting 2points on his average.

When Danny Ford said the other day we won’t be favourites and there would be some surprises I think Cairns Being at Number 5 would be McDiarmid would be as a lot of fans would of expected him to stay at Oxford.

Not a traditional type Poole team but plenty of room for improvement from everyone in the team.

Predicted 1-7

Lawson 8.15

Rushen 5.01

Harrison 5.74

Mcdiarmid 5.53

Cairns 6.44

Kennett 4.62

Lightcap 4.00

Total 39.49

On paper a good looking young side but can't see a result in heat 13 + 15 with that side, could even struggle at home ( hopefully ) 😜

Is he goldilocks? This track is too small, this track is too big.. 😉🤭

Scunny? He only got 6.

Order of preference:

Ben

Zach

Rich

Although Ben is about as realistic as Chris Holder. I don't really expect it.

Problem with Rich is he doesn't want to be captain (or that is the general concenus), so if majority of team are young riders then that becomes an issue.

If Kennett is in the team then why not give it to him for a season or 2 that’s if he is.

I won’t because I don’t think there is one! I simply believe that the cooks are better riders than Lawson, but I can certainly agree that in the championship Lawson is the more reliable rider.

Or have a no1 who is prepared to be captain. If he loves at Poole as much as he says then time to prove it!

I think either of these teams would be very strong.

Even without knowing other teams, I'd have them as favourites based on the amount of improvement I could see riders getting on their averages.

How are Workingtons team plans going, will you be having the leftovers 🤔

[Arthur54]

Apparently Zach Cook said at the end of season party, he's not back in 2027

Think Lawson,Lightcap,Rushen,McDiarmid,Harrison,can all add 0.50-1pt on,Cairns at number 5 I’d be happy if he managed to retain his average if he was there all season and Kennett I’d think a bit more maybe 2points.

[Trotter65]

Ben Cook is twice the rider that Lawson is…put both in the same Polish side then Ben Cook would destroy Lawson

Having said that , over a full Championship season then Lawson would probably outscore Ben Cook as it’s almost a completely different sport and both riders seem to have completely different ambitions……..I don’t think there’s a remote chance of Ben Cook riding for anybody in the Championship though
