This a good Poole team and I don’t see any teams with a better 1 to7.
yes it’s not as good as last years but that’s speedway. Last Poole won 3 titles all rather comfortably. So it looks more competitive this season which is good.
I don’t see why so many are desperate to put this Poole team down. They’ll be absolutely fine.
arguably the best number 1 in the league
possibly the best 3 and 4 pairing
a number 1 riding at 5
a reserve who will be fantastic at home and good away
No doubt Starke will up his average significantly. But very disappointed to sign him over Vinnie Foord.
Why did Danny say Vinnie wasn’t retained due to numbers game?
Kerr has been a solid rider for many years. Too many injuries has held him back but I don’t expect for a second for his average to drop.
Rowes a quality signing, possibly the best bargain average signing in the league.
If Poole do go safe with Starke and a 2 pointer it’ll still be the strongest 1-7 out of the teams announced so far. And if you add Cairns in to it, I can’t see anyone getting near them in the playoffs
I would disagree. Harris trumps the lot but the Redcar trio are all ahead of Howarth and Thompson at the moment. King was carrying an injury for a lot of last season
Nice to know you like to check the treble winning pirates forums regularly 😆
you have a great 1-5 but 2 reserves who were well out of their depth last year. You will need 1 of them to pick up a handful of points otherwise it doesn’t matter who the top 5 are.
Happy with that team. Lawson was the best rider in the league last year. A proper number 1 who scores well everywhere.
Hagon a young Brit who has so much potential. Good equipment and will kick on this season.
Zach and Rowe both are in for big big seasons. Both need to kick on and will surely be the strongest 3/4 pairing in the league.
Kerr could take the number 1 jacket from Lawson should he stay injury free. Poole as always will bring the best out of him.
Tobais will hopefully pick up where he left from. No excuses with injuries this season so should get out of the reserve berth quickly
good luck to whoever’s number 7 and hopefully they can stake a claim to not be the one dropped for Cairns
I agree, which is why I’m holding out hope that someone a bit more exciting will be signed over Starke.
Although Starke would I’m sure up his figure I am sure the management would not have picked him over Foord
If it was Howarth instead of Kerr. With 4.81 left maybe that leaves a door open for Hagon to return on a 4.73?
I would welcome Sam back with open arms. Yes he tailed off hugely last year but so much potential in him and started last year on fire. He’s also in Australia over winter which will help him no doubt
I think if Poole wanted Vinnie he would’ve been back. Unless Poole took too long deciding their team so he looked elsewhere? Unlikely as the Fords usually have plan A B and C sorted long before they need to
Yep that is what I’d hope to see. A new face to British speedway who will get the luxury of starting at reserve. The Fords often find one surprise signing. Hopefully this year is no different
Good move to bring Toby back. Was super impressive at the start and end of the season. Only blip was when he returned too soon from his injury. I expect him to up his average even more this season.
Great character to have in the team
Deluded? I really like Foord and would’ve had him back. However realistically he is unlikely to survive the season without an injury or two.
don’t know what relevance Lieberman has to my statement unless Poole are replacing Foord with her.
who ever Poole sign instead of Foord will I’m sure make sense.
poole wouldn’t have let go of Foord if it would make there team weaker
