Woooosh!

So - just so I've got it clear (and everyone else), it means that Compton can't replace Smart now as he's above him in the draft?

Apparently it's ok for a draft rider - or anyone else who rides for Poole

Is that one more guest appearance allowed for Charles Wright for Poole and that's his guesting for them finished?

Those 3 will have teams quaking in their boots

There's no fooling you

Probably because he hasn't signed!

Who can this be? I know little about the NL or who is good or not Then in the next sentence... Remember, there are no "ringers" left in the draft who could go out and set the league alight! Sounds like a confused and desperate man For once - play by the rules and stop trying to manipulate them to your own team's advantage. It's quite clear - pick someone below Lee Smart in the draft (which was just issued today) - suck it up cupcake!

Well embrace this - pick someone below Lee Smart in the draft as per the rules - SIMPLES!

you are a comedian (not a funny one either). Yes - bring on riders and don't penalise them - says the fan of a team that just dropped a draft rider!! the word hypocrite comes to mind!

Like I added above - check your passport British person!

I think you'll find that there is no English nationality - we're British! (Just look at any British passport)

Or the Poole rule - we'll have the top two on the list

I think that was the reason for the thread - to show how ruthless Poole are with British riders

It wasn't a wind-up it was an expression of my opinion (which others agree with) and has been discussed on other threads. You can't have a fair draft system if riders are "protected" whether someone has invested in them or not. Sorry if you don't agree but I can live with that.

I'm not familiar with that song but I know hear say did Pure and Simple and a few others

Or having "protected" riders that invalidates the whole spirit of the draft!

No offence taken - and it certainly must be a bit of fun if you expect Birmingham to win

China in your hand and with a little bit of Heart and Soul - Eddie will be on his bike!

Wow - I wasn't expecting that! Wooden spoon contenders taking a point off the (not so) mighty Pirates - that wasn't in the script! :rofl:

I don't understand all the fuss about Lee Smart's non-appearance in this meeting. I think the issue is that there is a lack of communication and the conspiracy theorists have gone into overdrive. I'm sure that there is an explanation which will be forthcoming but who cares anyway?

Apart from a windup, I can't understand why people refer to a Chris Holder in this way - he is a recent worthy world champion and comes across as a thoroughly nice person. YAWN!!

I don't think it was used in NZ - I thought I heard them say he tried to use it for the first time in Poland. Also, he did well enough to make the semis - who'd have thought?!

Great ride from Tai in heat 17
