So how come Danny said he had informed the team who would and wouldn't be retained in 2023 incl Danny King PRIOR to the delayed second leg of the final against Leicester. That meeting was on 5th Nov before the Rugby AGM. He mentioned it had been a difficult decision to have to make.

Believe this was partly why Kemp had such a strop on because he had already been informed he would not be part of the team in 2023. I believe Danny told the whole team prior to that meeting on 5th Nov that difficult decisions had to be made due to a reduced team points limit and he had been forced to make changes.

Of course I could of misunderstood and as they were at 1.03 over the old 42 points that Kemp was the rider chosen to drop, but not how I read it at the time.

Disappointing update from young Tate...

 
Terrible news for my 2023 season.  Some of you may already know I had a bad crash at the Australian titles in Adelaide where I suffered some head injuries, after a handful of doctors appointments and meetings with specialists it is not possible for me to get a clearance to ride for 6 months. This is because of the seizures I had on and off the track. This means I will not be heading to Europe until the end of June. Definitely not how I wanted to start this year but it is what it is and I can’t do anything about it. I will use this time off to get stronger mentally and physically.
Its gunna be a long 6 months

Similar circumstances to Jordan Palin, another young, upcoming rider, who is having to take a year out due to a head injury(bleed on the brain)

Genuinely gutted for the guy.

Means he will miss at least 11/12 of the 18 regular league meetings in the POL Exl U24 league season plus what he misses in that DK Lge 1 (the league below Danish Prem).

I wonder if the Ford's may open discussions with him bearing in mind we don't even start our Champ meetings until 24th May and will only have ridden 2 Lge meetings before the 3rd on 12th July. 

Having said that he will need to get meetings and confidence back after what happened. Showed incredible talent in those 4 meetings I saw videos of him racing in the NSW U21 which he won followed by his runner up slot in the Aussie U21 - a decent individual meeting, and then  culminating in 3rd place in the one off Aussie Champ meeting of 2022 where he got injured in that freak accident when he clipped Sedgeman's bike after the finish line in the final.

Still wouldn't dampen my opinion of him though as talent is ultimately talent.

Can't race but MAYBE can still keep his fitness and ride/practice  just to keep his confidence on a bike.

I read the usual dregs are pulling the team to pieces already. I wonder what they will be saying when we do the same again this season.
My guess, nothing. Chin up. :rofl::rofl:

Thort Kemp did ok for Poole last year ...Did they not want him because  of his 5+ave ?????

Did drop off at the end. I think the 5 point average doesn't help especially if they don't think he will improve it. 

Nathan not coming back is a shame though as I would have liked to see how he would have done against the other two pointers. Guess I'll have to take an interest in the NL and look it at that way.

Zach was good. Had a bit of a blip in June but apart from that..

Might take a month to settle in. So prob get higher scores away from home. But he seems to pick things up relatively quickly so should be fine and he rode for Plymouth, can't get smaller than that! And also has been to Edinburgh.

There is No pressure  for him at M.G...Should be number 6 all season  .solid  top 5 ...

Poole look like they will be up the top again...Reserves win matches ...Especially  with so many having 2 pointers at 6 and 7 ...Good  luck to them..

There's not actually that many clubs with 2.00 riders. 2 clubs have 2 x 2.00 riders, 3 clubs have one 2.00 rider, while 4 clubs have no 2.00 riders.

Everyone knows what Roynon and Newman are capable of, but always a big question of actually doing it, I thought Kyle was going to be Hammers 4th heat leader in 2018 but it just didn’t work out for him.

Poole have once again nailed the art of building a side on paper, a great top two with strength then down the order, that in turn might see Thomas or one of the Cook brothers drop to reserve at some point.

I've got a feeling Newman is going to have a good season back at Poole, had a good time last time he was there, never let us down

He will be keeping fit & doing everything possible to be ready when the time comes, spoke to him at the DW invitational, he’s not happy but understands how things work.

Can imagine he isn't.

After all the promise showed, this was going to be a big breakthrough season for him.

But we have to remember he is only turning 18 on 30th  July and even a part season will be good. If he gets snapped up to also do some UK racing when POl tails off (22nd Aug for the last of the regualr season  U24 POL EXL matches), he could still get good experience this coming season. He would not have much racing to do POL/DK in those last months of our UK season.

As said many times would love to see him at Poole but we will see.

So Antonio Lindback named as the first rider for Poole v Belle Vue for Stevie Worrall's testimonial on 29th March to kick off the Wimborne Road 2023 season.

Fair play whoever got Antonio booked. 

One of the few riders of this millennium with the x factor that guarantees bums on seats.
