A really good post and you are pretty spot on with your observation i was was beginning to think Auty had become an awful rider overnight at Owlerton.Your point about Stewart is a good one Pickering, Etheridge also are two others who will compare to Todd.Spin king's point about Todd being an asset and a fan's favourite is a good one and this season it will be interesting to see how all the reserves perform.

He hasnt become awful hes just not as good as Kurtz in the PL.. thats it really

He still has that  Kurtz to prove though hasn't he ? as disappointing as Auty has been in his prem career Kurtz has yet to show he is at that  level even at reserve  but we will see.

Does Todd have any experience in the top flight? If he has it’s very little. And nothing to write home about if so.

Rode for Leicester 2018, 10 matches averaging around 3 and a half. Josh Auty also rode for Leicester and averaged over a point more.

2012 Steve he had thirteen matches for Poole and was then replaced average 3.17. I have seen him guest a few times at Premiership level since and he has shown nothing to suggest he is at that level now.He is good at Owlerton so maybe he could get some confidence at home and take that away.My interest really was comparing other reserves to ours at Swindon who will be  Perks/ Rowe.

We all know you prefer Wells , you wanted him in the engine room of the 2020 Swindon side.!!!!!

 

So it’s Wells, Auty or Kurtz now, is it?

You seem to have a mental blockage concerning Wells.

Yes, he had a terrible season for Poole, but he is still a 7 point CL rider and the Glasgow promotion think he can do a job next season.

He was a Championship number 1 a couple of years back.

Aah ok, thanks for that info. Couldn’t remember him riding much PL but yea I’d say in general not PL standard. That said there are likely to be a few weak number 7s next season so he only has to beat his opposite number to improve. 

Think he is being more relied on to do well at Sheffield, which on paper he should be the strongest candidate. I too would have said Wells however after this season it’s a huge gamble.

Don’t believe it was suggested it did have any relevance in the uk... so what’s your point?

Although, Jack Holder will be a Sheffield rider next season, so it is of relevance to Sheffield supporters... and as most of us live in the UK, it does have some relevance here...

What I meant was that a riders form in Kurri Kurri during the winter doesn't give much of an indication of what we can expect on these shores in 2020.

I know it's of interest to Sheffield fans as well as some Poole fans. 

After seeing off a bottle of gin, I went for the shorter direct route:cheers:
