Gloves Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 There probably wasn't a page set up as I guess most Poole fans think it will only lead to other forum users having a go about them either a) being arrogant as they predict a pirates win or predicting a loss which would be seen as under playing the pirates so they can brag when they win. Personally I don't blame them, I think kings lynn will win as they have better reserves and at WR Janowski is a class above Bridger. That said am still looking forward to Janowski (the pirates weak link in Gavan's eyes) being sacked and joining the mighty Brummies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pugwash Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 A pointless fixture: This won't be a rehearsal for the Play-offs. Poole are without Magic and THJ. Bridger rode well for us at WR a couple of weeks ago 10 from 4 so should go well for the Pirates. If he would just change his name to Bridgersen..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Didnt know Bjerre was back. Janowski is usually strong at home so dont think Bridger will will get as many as him. Darcy will be up against a true world class rider and the best rider in the elite league in Iversen and a strong back up in Bjerre means he could easily drop a few points. Key here i think will be Porsing and Lambert v Josh and Milik. Mallett could outscore Hopwood. Kerr could outscore Newman. Maybe Stars to nick this one. That true world class best in the league rider who could only get 4 points on his own track last week! Darcy is the best rider in the league and you know it. We will definately miss Janowski having Bridger guesting is a real worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agrotron Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Cannot see this meeting going on, the weather looks awful tomorrow talks of flooding etc. Nice to see Bridger guesting for Poole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darcy is the best rider in the league and you know it. We will definately miss Janowski having Bridger guesting is a real worry. i admit you are one of the decent Poole fans on here but sorry you are wrong on that one. Iversen ahead of Darcy last year and this. Also you know Iversen is world class as you dont get to world number 3 otherwise. What i was getting at is that Darcy would be fancied to get a maximum unless up against Neils, Tai or Zagar and possibly Kildemand I can guarantee you one thing - Mallett will not outscore Hopwood in this one!!! lol yes i see Morley is riding. His form for Lakeside is far better than anything Hopwood has managed so far.

That said am still looking forward to Janowski (the pirates weak link in Gavan's eyes) being sacked and joining the mighty Brummies. didnt say he was the weak link thats clearly the number 7 berth. Janowski is very inconsistent and i feel he could let the pirates down as push come to shove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedball Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 It's all relative as riders are better than others at different tracks and it depends on where you normally see them. At Lynn, Darcy and Janowski are great. Magic is inconsistent at a number of tracks but after a year at Lynn, he has our place sussed. That's why I think IF it was a Poole v Lynn Grand Final, Poole would have the edge as they have a team that's better at the NA than we have at Wimborne Rd. In terms of who is better, Iversen's strength is his consistency. He normally turns in big scores week in, week out due to immaculate equipment and professionalism. I would say that Darcy is the more naturally talented rider on a bike. If he ever takes his racing as seriously as Niels, he'd be unstoppable in my eyes as he has everything required to be the best. I do think Darcy is starting to mature now and hopefully we'll spend more time talking about his on track performances than his antics off it. I genuinely hope he continues to develop as he's one of a few riders that I actually look forward to watching ride and would gladly pay to see. As for tomorrow, be delighted with a point as that means Poole only make up a point on us in the league and keeps up our record of getting at least a point from every meeting this season.

foreverblue Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 So biased. Iversen is the best EL rider. Cant i be biased now and again, Iversen is a great rider and in the EL he has performed better but he wouldn't beat a fully fit Ward.

Gemini Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 A pointless fixture: This won't be a rehearsal for the Play-offs. Yes, you are right for once. If enough teams beat Poole they won't actually even get to the play offs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LagutaRacingFan Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) Cant i be biased now and again, Iversen is a great rider and in the EL he has performed better but he wouldn't beat a fully fit Ward. It's a pointless 'IF' argument as Jepsen Jensen showed last weekend that neither Ward or PUK stand a chance against the chosen one.

BluPanther Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Darcy rarely gets a maximum because he doesn't gate very often but i would expect him to outscore Niels. Not much between the two of them tbh. However, Darcy is the better rider imo. NKI is the better gater, but Darcy has more in his locker, and the most exciting rider in the World to watch...apart from MJJ of course. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NKI is the better gater, but Darcy has more in his locker, and the most exciting rider in the World to watch...apart from MJJ of course. Darcy is by far the most natural talent we have seen since Loram. However im a believer in figures and performance to back up opinions. NKI has a better average last year and this year. i agree Darcy hasnt ridden much. NKI has won 2 grand prixs to Darcys 1 NKI is world number 3 though again i admit Darcy missed meetings. At the moment NKI is the better of the 2. People let talent get in the way of results. I have no doubt in time Darcy can achieve more than Iversen. At the moment he isnt the better, more natural yes. Its like saying Jimmy White was better than Hendry. More talent, not so good results and titles wise. Only 2 things are stopping Darcy: his gating, and the fact he over rides sometimes which is leading to injuries (and yes i know this one wasnt his fault) Thing is if he learnt to gate then he wouldnt be over riding. Needs to take a look at Loram in his prime. The master of the overtake and never seemed to crash when making moves in a race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Don't want to get into a Niels v Darcy argument because, quite frankly there isn't one. This is how it is:- Darcy Ward IS the better racer - Niels Kristian Iversen IS the better point scorer - all square as rider's. On to the meeting, certainly hopeful of an away victory to be honest. We're better than Coventry and Poole are weaker without Janowski but last week could have been just one of those night's for Poole. Hopefully Niels is feeling better, exhaustion starting to get the better of him hence his withdrawal from the best pairs 41-49 & all 4 points in the bag, anything less than a draw will be disappointing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But give me 15 points from my number one rather than 11 or 12. But then again give me great racing as well tricky one to answer I guess Poole fans can answer this question back in 1999/2000 Mark Loram at the time the worlds best racer or...........................Tony Rickardsson points machine. Who did Poole fans want in there side? Anyway sorry to deviate lets hope for a good safe meeting with good racing............and a Lynn win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh point scorer but he was absolutely sensational racer when he missed a start. He simply has been the best of the best of all time IMO. Rickardsson had the lot and nobody but nobody comes close today 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
