Poole 2022


Recommended Posts

Middlo's interview in this week's Speedway Star gives a heavy hint that the only thing to be sorted out for both the Cook Brothers in 2022 is finding mechanics for them as this season they've mainly been spannering for each other - with the occasional help of Jack Holder, Chris Holder and Brady Kurtz!!

Sam an Edinburgh asset., Richie isn’t .

Yeah but doubt Richie be back at his parent club anytime soon ha. Just think average wise, if gets cut to 32 for example for top 5 Sam's average hard to fit in

Sam offers more away from home though. Ludicrous if they cut average. We will have a hybrid National / Championship league in 2022 if that happens.

Yes!! But I guess averages won't allow that and would Hume still be a Rising Star??

Does anyone know if the AGM took place yet as saw a comment elsewhere on the forum that maybe it did last week but via Zoom. If not taken place anyone know when it is.

Signings announced so far elsewhere would indicate maybe still Prem & Championship leagues but who knows. A 6 team Prem def not good for the sport as it is. Plus the POL new U23 league in 2022 may have a big bearing on young Brits, especially if they go for our top youngsters and race mainly on their usual Sundays thus damaging the Champ even more. That's without the money the Poles can throw at the new U23 league set up.

The points limit and Brit rising star situation sure will have an impact on what direction the Pirates go.

Personally would like to see if Matt/Danny can pull off both Ben & Zach Cook together at Poole especially the way Zach rode as guest on several occasions. Zach is 2 years younger than Ben and at 22 in his first season fully in UK. A 4.40 GSA is a mockery of what his true worth is based on his Poole performances. Could be a true rising star on a heavily false low average which could be a BIG bonus if they could pull it off. Could also help big time in building team points.

Also think both lodging in one of the Middlo accommodations helped, as makes Poole a real home track plus gives stability on home front for both riders just as with other young Aussies over the years.

A fit Anders Rowe would be a great signing for any side.
