Poole 2017

I'd keep Brady even though his average is third heatleader-ish. Newman did well last night but what about the rest of the season? Depends what his average is. I'd probably try and hang on to Hans and Ellis too.

 

As for riders to come in to the team I'd go after Batch, Morris, KK and Gomolski. Harris maybe depends if you think he will up his average.

I think Batch on his average will be a bargain dunno though Lisa, Morris I have always found to be to inconsistent but a change of scenery might be just what he needs, KK maybe to spearhead the Pirates maybe um Gomolski yes not a bad shout but Harris I think is Wolves bound but welcome at Poole for sure.

Is Newman going to show some ambition by moving into the team

 

I don't think it's a decision that Kyle gets to make? Surely if Poole build a team, and the EDL system continues, which means Newman gets a 3.16 average, he'd likely be a reserve. That's not due to any lack of ambition of Kyle's....

 

As for the rest of the Pirates next season, I'd want to see KK at Poole, Kurtz should be back, and Jack Holder will likely be given a spot too. Ellis and Newman both deserve to be back, but it will all depend on the rules and averages they are given.

 

Plenty of rumours that Milik will be returning. I'd have no problems with Chris Holder being back as well, so that makes:

 

Chris Holder

KK

Milik

Kurtz

Jack Holder

Newman

Ellis

Another bunch of losers then?

Decent looking team but the promotors need to make sure you don't have Ellis & Kyle as they both need to be given a chance in the top 5.

You have to be joking re: Batchelor!!

 

Can't see Poole chasing Harris either, despite an attractive average. I'd have thought that Ford/Middlo will be looking for younger riders for the team.

Batch is a gamble but if it pays off definitely worth it. If you want instant success you have to get riders who will improve their ave by at least a point. Batch potentially fits into that category.

Well, if the BSPA are setting the league's rules with the main purpose being to prevent Poole having Newman and Ellis at reserve is, to my mind, an incredibly short-sighted strategy. Newman and Ellis have been two of the better success stories of the EDL system (and their success has not been dramatic!), so your suggestion is more about being anti-Poole than pro-British Speedway.

 

Currently Elite League speedway has numerous critical issues - the race format being the primary one, which has in turn created the issue with riders on false averages. I'd suggest the best way to remedy this situation is to find a race format that doesn't create such a gulf between the reserves and rest of the team with protected heats, and switch to a rider grading system for a season so everyone can achieve more representative averages.
