His injury is long term he clearly should not have ridden today

He is atill suffering from his injury and wouldnt of rode monday we would have used a guest if we hadnt repllaced him Haha your funny

Hans clearly shouldnt have ridden today its too soon and he wouldnt of rode monday as he clearly hasnt recovered

so what's the definition of long term?

well he was out for more that a couple of weeks as he withdrew from the SEC and only had the stitches out friday. he wasn't ready to be back in time for the play offs and was replaced. We can't.

Well he wasn't back for the play offs, he had his stitches out friday, so Poole would have had to use a guest for the first leg and hope he would be back for monday or get a replacement which i believe we had to do before the play offs started.

Hans was injured at the time he was replaced, he only had the stitches out friday. A decision had to be made whether to keep him and use guests until he is fit or replace him because i believe any replacement had to be made before the play offs started.

it seems a bit risky for Hans to ride so quickly after having the stitches out which according to his twitter was friday in Poland.

Not obvious solution with the final 1st leg scheduled for next monday

Haha yes true!

I think its on Polish website and speedway updates that he is riding so it would appear we could have had a guest but a decision had to made prior to the play offs and sticking with a injured rider and getting a guest albeit only for one meeting was more risky than changing to a fully fit asset who may take time to adjust. There still seems to be a lot of rain in the midlands on monday so it looks likely to be off

I know it looks bad at the moment but it could change by tomorrow night, the bad weather could pass through quicker than currently expected then its all systems go.

I think we need to wait another 24 hours before we assume it will be rained off.

The most consistent won which was Belle Vue, Holder maybe on fire now but he has been off form, watt was awful, Newman has been up and down due to injuries,Andersen and Buczkowski haven't been in great form but we know when to peak and on wednesday it looked like we could be peaking at the right time apart from Bjarne. Thats a meeting i wish i could go to. Loved Zorro, great entertainer.

Holders been with Poole a few years but with the averages and rule changes yearly its difficult to keep the same team

Just things that are factually incorrect.

We did also have Nicholls guesting who was impressive apart from his first race when he thought the red light should have come on. The much maligned Bjarne also had a decent night albeit at reserve, Ellis had a pretty good night at second string, Newman was excellent too, so although we have one or two riders who may not go well at wolves i don't see any reason to think we can't defend a 12 lead.

He was involved in a few salons, Hair Arena being the main one.

No he just owned the salons.

Yeah but Klindt got zero for us

He scored 4 then withdrew but Klindt got zero guesting for Poole even Bucko should outscore that! On the subject of Buczkowski how committed was he at Poole on wednesday terrific to see.

Learnt all he knows from Hans!

They have a good team that was made to look better by a very poor Lakeside performance, they will hope Fricke rides Poole better than he did last night if we progress and we have to hope Bjarne is better but Chris Holder could go unbeaten home and away. Should be a cracking final.

Oh i thought he caught play off fever!

Do you, i don't.
