Poole Pirates Vs Kings Lynn Stars 29/6/16


Recommended Posts

With all these riders that are better than Kyle Newman, I'm amazed anyone made the Poole reserves the strongest pairing or Poole favourites for anything this year?!

To be fair that was at the start of the season based on past form. (Although I thought Leicester had the best pairing)

 

Ellis has been better than I think most people thought he would be and has been flying at reserve. He's shown a lot of progression.

 

 

Newman has been unlucky with injuries but before injury, I don't think Newman has been riding great this year. He's shown more of his PL form. i thought he was silly not moving up to the top 5 like Garrity but looking at how out of his depth Newman looked when he did, I think he might have made the right choice.

I think it's been harder for him this year as whilst he's not really shown much progression, riders like Worrall, Wright, Auty, Starke have all improved on last year's form.

 

For me the the best draft rider so far this season has been Steve Worrall. He's had some brilliant scores this season, some off 15m or against top 5 riders. He's also moved in to the top 5 for more than a week.

There isnt many better riders than Newman at reserve, Steve Worrall and Auty maybe are the only 2.

 

Lets be fair nobody expected Ellis to be as good as he has been and his form more than Newmans is the reason Poole were doing well. With Ellis not 100% and Newman out it isnt great but Ellis is getting back and as i say you can pick horses for courses to replace Newman and Starke is a good solid option, as he is a rider that is showing great progress this year.

 

You cant compare Newman and Garrity as Garrity is ahead of Newman by a fair way now. Steve Worrall has quite clearly improved past Newman and Auty is also a better rider.

 

Poole have the third best tier 1 rider and the second best tier 2 rider.

 

Poole having the strongest top 5 alongside Belle Vue (but Poole have better reserves) and the second best reserve pairing behind Leicester (whose top 5 are shocking) makes Poole clear favourites for the Elite League hence they are odds on favourites with the bookies

Why haven't the BSPA done anything about this scenario, it's stupid.

Because they created this ridiculous situation and do not want to be seen that they did not think this through . If they had asked the fans they would have been told very quickly that this would happen.

Would have been so simple to remedy too - just a line saying that when reserves move up into the main body of the team they can only ride at numbers 2 & 4
