And your a poole fan ? Nobody likes to see anybody get injured, but its the same for both. They pulled a fast one bringing Howorth, what  you say to that Poole fan....

Somerset were more than entitled to bring in Howarth and was completely legit. No fast one pulled mate.

Why should any team be penalised with an nl rider if they have lost a high scoring reserve? If a reserve has a 5.5 average, they should be allowed a rider up to that figure. Only fair.

By that theory if a 2nd string has a high average why only R/r. And not a rider up to that average.Case Closed.:rolleyes:

So Doyle has a good look round, moves out and let's Harris through. Should Doyle be fined and banned?

what planet are you on ,

One way to build a team with strength in depth. No R/R in future and if a rider gets injured the guest has to have an average the same or lower than the lowest averaged rider in the team. Every other rider moves up a position. If 2 or more rider's injured then it's the same as above plus guest with the same or less average than 5th in the averages.

I have looked back at recent matches between the two teams at Poole. In the past two matches Summers has scored 2 points in each match and BWD 5 in each match.

Therefore it does not seem that Somerset lost out with a guest nor with r/r.

Before anyone goes on about another Poole fan I would state in this match I was neutral as I have been a fan of both clubs for years living half way between them. I admit I liked it better when they were not in the same league however.

no they lost because they went down to 5 riders, causing the reserves to have 7 rides each and only going with 1 rider in heat 13

the most obvious one which was an accident and I’m not digging him out is when Harris threw his bike clear in Melbourne Grand Prix leaving Doyle no where to go and he suffered an horrific injury. That’s what happens with 4 riders entering a corner and that’s my point no one goes into a race wanting to injure a rider or to get injured. They want to win a race. 

definitiely the most stupid thing i have ever read , I understand your'e a Harris hater and Doyle lover , but to say that he threw his bike was just plain idiotic ,

Poole will win the Final if they pick better riders to guest for the ones they are replacing as they did against Somerset.

:blink:

Poole didn’t have any guest riders.

edit. I see you have realised your mistake.

Then it’s Somersets fault for not having a  number 8. They could have used a number 8 in a couple of heats, freeing up Covatti or Allen for heat 13 and/or 14.

A fault of their own making.

How so?

The only riders eligible to take rides for Holder were Howarth (excluded for starting offences when he took the IRR ride), Covatti (who replaced the excluded Howarth for the IRR ride) and I'll come back to him again, Lawson (Who took the IRR ride) & Allen (who also took an IRR ride).

So those are Holders rides covered, except Heat 13. Obviously Garry May couldn't use Howarth or Lawson as they had already taken replacement rides for Holder, so his only other option was the reserves, of which Allen had already had the maximum 7 rides, leaving Covatti, who still had one ride left, but he was due to ride in Heat 14, so had he ridden in Heat 13, the Rebels would have had to go with only one rider in 14.

So no, he didn't take a chance on it, it was purely down to rider availability and using that in the best possible way.

Berwick on Saturday as somebody has already mentioned earlier in the thread.

He got a paid win in his last race.

Aaron Summers -- 1', 3, 3, 2' = 9+2
