Glad the rule has been ditched,it’s entriguing when 2 totally different team set ups meet each other and who then comes out on top,and most importantly giving teams freedom to build how they want to.
So Ben Trigger would go from 3.60 to 3.31
Alfie Bowtell would go from 4.77 to 4.38
meaning that Trigger could well fit into this team
1.Nicholls 7.94
2.Thomsen 4.86
3.Barker 7.56
4.Thompson 5.91
5.Batchelor 7.04
6.Foord 3.29
7. Trigger 3.31 (3.40)
Total 39.91
If cairns was at 5 and Newman at reserve away I feel that would be weak,but with Kennett there it strengthens the team up no end,that’s kinda how the management roll there not sentimental they wanna win.
Newman average imo won’t improve a lot where as Kennetts should be hitting around 6-6.50

I’m happy he’s gone for most his time at Poole not once did he ever acknowledge the fans on the way round never looking at them just holding his hand up,allways on his phone straight after meeting never interacting with fans,time for a change.
I don’t disagree but if you want to win you have to be ruthless and I feel away from home Kyle is not great and Kennetts performances away as guest have been very good and he would have much more scope to improve his average than Kyle,if Kennett and Lightcap both move out of reserve we would have potentially have Rushen and Harrison at reserve and if we have a weaker no5 then we’re guna need very strong reserves.
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.
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 and 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
Ben Cook no thanks Lawson every day at championship level,Cook is not a no1 at this level.
Lawson in that team and I wouldn’t mind that exact team as McDiarmid isn’t at Oxford and I think he has a lot of potential.
