Drew said on his Instagram that he hasn't got a team place yet. 

Not surprised his attitude in the final celebration would not have done him any favours,thought he would improve more than he did last year there is a good rider in there and if Poole can't make him better who can ( I'm ducking down )

Never thought his manner came across well……..like ignoring opposition fans’ applause for instance.

100% right.

He has to ask himself what his problem is.

He's in an all conquering team with clearly excellent team spirit and acts like a spoilt brat.

He's unlikely to get such a supportive Club in terms of the overall package and opportunity again as Poole and Wolves in respective Leagues.

It's him who is the problem and he needs someone to sit him down and tell him that and to then mentor him and help him.

His average means he is in a bracket with a number who may not get a team place in 2022 but who are FAR better Team players. It's not inconceivable his only action initially may be POlish Under 24 League!

Drew is so frustrating even to many home fans.  To have the likes of Danny King and Steve Worrall in particular sitting him down and 'mentoring' him, telling him which racing lines to take and even lending him their machines didn't seem to give him any consistency.

Using the practice laps following the starting parade to do wheelies in front of the main grandstand at every home meeting and then struggling to score a point or two did not please some fans!

Its such a shame as he is very professional off-track with decent sponsors who produce regular high quality publicity materials for him. In fact he already has a full colour 2023 Sponsorship brochure available.

Perhaps have a chat with Tom Brennen and Leon Flint ....

When Dave wallinger was with him a couple of years ago pre COVID he was riding very well with a smile on his face so I wonder what's happened in the last 2 seasons

He's realised he isn't as good as he thought he was.

Well he can't complain about lack of opportunities the last 2 seasons in both Prem/Champ.

Still young and can turn it around but really needs to sort things out and get consistency. Hope he gets fixed up somewhere as not good to have what was one of our top potential future talents go unwanted by both Champ and Prem teams.

Maybe a case of one who doesn't push on even with decent backing & equip. Look at Jack Smith - Parkinson-Blackburn - Bickley - Greaves and others who looked like they would do something but never progressed. Their are no doubt others who I have missed.

See some Rew rumours building on the Forum.

Notice both IPS/Peterb fans indicating he is signing both Prem & Champ sides with both sets of fans indicating he will ride for them. 

Don't care which one gets him as long as we get him in Champ. Would get lots of experience to compliment his Sun/Sat Polish rides which would be good as he will be riding a good few times each week over the 3 leagues.

Anyway fingers crossed :)

Is Rew not doing Denmark and/or Polish u23 again in 2023 then?
