waiheke1 Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 An injury caused by a rubbishe track at where was it, oh yes Poole. So another fast track reserve dropped when in the top 5. What a great success that scheme was. Got to be 4.12 if Rohan is allowed in on a 5 point average. Who has Rohan signed for on a 5 point average? Old averages apply until new green sheets are released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy robin Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Who has Rohan signed for on a 5 point average? Old averages apply until new green sheets are released. When he will sign for someone on his new 5 point average. I guess he's been aware that would happen & has been happy to wait till then. Swindon would be my bet.

stevebrum Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Pooles troubles all stem from signing KK..................everyone knew he wasnt an out and out number one and its come back on Poole quite hard. You never know time the play offs come round Tai might be available........at least that way Poole might get within touching distance of Wolves over 2 legs! Poole have never been loyal to any rider..........ask Mark Loram! But then again what do Poole fans want? A winning team that could win the league ..........or being a team that makes up the numbers but retains the same riders all the time. Its perfectly clear that Matt Ford wants the former ............and loyalty isnt in his vocabulary. Poole have been ruthless for years under MF, it works as league titles show. Poole fans can't expect loyalty and a winning team. It just don't work. Grow up. You only wanted Newman to stay so we would end up struggling week in week out. You ain't smelled the coffee yet clearly. KK will soon be back to save your season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinny Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Lets be perfectly honest here - Newman hasnt really got much better for a long time now. Was used as a fast track reserve for way too long and gone completely stale. Also very injury prone. And in the main body of the team is struggling hugely. Matt ford is ruthless but wants a winning side. Nothing wrong with that. Look how poor Newman has been in the second tier for ipswich, quite a few of their fans want shot of him as well. I was one of those who thought KK would excel at Poole this year, it hasnt gone to plan and Ford should be looking to replace him for good now. Zengota isnt the answer. What average would Nicki P come back on? Been awful in the gp but id still fancy him to bang the points in every week at this level. Now he has no chance of being a world champion again he may fancy topping up his pay packet in the uk. Still a top rider in the leagues. Matt Ford has been loyal to Newman for over five years and in all fairness he hasnt improved that much, he still hasnt held down a number one berth in the second tier has he.

Starman2006 Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 do you think that Paul starke going score much more than Kyle can't see it myself Starkey will need to hit the ground running, with the depth of feeling running very high wilth Kyle being dropped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YerRopes Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Starkey will need to hit the ground running, with the depth of feeling running very high wilth Kyle being dropped. Have just this thread and have to agree with you re the highlighted above. I know Kyle has been struggling a bit and I know MF can be ruthless, but if I were a Poole fan I wouldn't be happy with this change. Kyle has been a loyal and match winning performer for the Pirates on a number of occasions.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Newman has been probably the most important member of the Poole team these past years, especially when riding in that FTS (Fast track System). He accrued more points in those playoff finals that most of his elite teammates... This is how he is repaid....... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle has been a loyal and match winning performer for the Pirates on a number of occasions.. He does, but he always seems to find himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. He could come back to bite us. Edited June 12, 2017 by Starman2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney the robin Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Ford shows that he does not quite understand how some of the Poole fans feel alot will be unhappy with this move.I like Starke but in the top five it is a tough ask for him i feel for Newman not a wise move in my book by the Poole promotion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve0 Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 This is the same Starke who was dropped by Somerset because he wasn't scoring very well in their 1-5. I would have stuck with Newman for now as Poole should make the playoffs. The time for changes should be before the end of July. Poole fans better hope that Klindt is back sharpish though.

Countershaftcounter Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 So last years play off heroes Kyle and Adam both shafted by MF. He's losing it, his days have passed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurntFaceMan Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Seems odd to me. Kyle Newman has been the play off hero for Poole. He's one of those riders who cares about their team and pulls out all the stops when it's needed most. Seems a bizarre move to me. Kyle's never going to set the world alight but then nor are most of our "premier" league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 So last years play off heroes Kyle and Adam both shafted by MF. He's losing it, his days have passed. It has been proved letting Ellis go was the right decision and so is letting Newman go, I very much doubt we have seen the last of Newman in Pirates colours.

Steve Shovlar Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Disappointed in this move to be honest. Watched Kyle at Belle Vue on Friday have a brilliant 5-1 ride to beat Fricke. He is not race fit but has been on the pace since his return. Often the difference between winning a heat and ending up last is no more than being in the wrong place coming off the second bend. Kyles on the pace and putting it about. Harsh by Matt here. Could perhaps understand it more is Kyle was being replaced by a rider guarenteed to bang in more points but....Starke? With all due respect I don't think swapping out Kyle for Starke is going to improve the teams scoring. And having watched Gomolski every Sunday in Poland he is now riding lower league and not exactly setting it on fire. Artur Mrozcka a far better scorer and on form. But who would he replace anyway? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Newman is between a rock and a hard place. He'll want another team and do well but, if he goes out and up his average Poole won't be interested as he then becomes less valuable to the team.

Trees Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Newman is Poole through and through, I wish failure on Poole sooo much!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
