gazzac Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 I think if Poole do 2 changes and make Newman unemployed at this stage it'll be a disgrace, with some British replacements available, or even a newby from abroad. Still will add a few hundred more pages on here if they do I suppose. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you'd be better with kemp or young Dan than having broc.

If its Roynon to be dropped then that gives 8.7 or thereabouts to play with, so Ablitt and anyone upto 6.70 ish could fit. Think best options at that average would be tempting auty, ulle or spud summers out of retirement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it was in 2021 but this is what i remember whenever i see Broc is coming to Poole: Poole Pirates = 571. Rory Schlein - 2', 3, 3, 1' = 9+22. Alfie Bowtell (G) - 3, 0, 0, 1 = 43. Steve Worrall - 2', 3, 2, 3, 1 = 11+14. Stefan Nielsen - 3, 2', 1', 1 = 7+25. Danny King - 3, 3, 2', 2, 3 = 13+16. Ben Cook - 2, 0, 3, 3 = 87. Danyon Hume - 1', 2', 1, 1 = 5+2Scunthorpe Scorpions = 331. Broc Nicol (G) - 0, 1, 3, 0, 3, 2, 2 = 112. Simon Lambert - 1, 1, R, 3, 1, R = 63. Theo Pijper - 1, 2, 2, 0, 0 = 54. Tero Aarnio - 0, 1', Xt, 0 = 1+15. Thomas Jorgensen - R/R (SL-1, TP-2, BN-3, TA-0) = 66. Jordan Palin - 3, 0, 0, 2, 2, 0 = 77. Dillon Ruml (G) - 0, 1', 2' = 3+2 Vs Scunthorpe (Championship) 18/08/2021 | Speedway Updates (proboards.com) Edited March 10, 2023 by lisa-colette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGould Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 Mentioned this before but Broc has a shoulder issue that's never going to be as good as it was and may deteriorate with or without further knocks. It explains why he hasn't kicked on form wise since Covid break as just about everyone expected him to do. Kyle definitely would be hard done by if left out, Roynon would have only himself to blame having shafted Plymouth after agreeing a deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) I don't think they will as there ain't a whole lot between Jack, Kemp, Rowe and Thompson, but IF Poole decided to drop another rider to bring in Ablitt + 1 then that's sport IMO, and the custodians of the club have to do what's best for it as a whole. A bit harsh on the rider admittedly but as we've seen in recent seasons riders can agree deals and then go back on them leaving clubs in the lurch so it works both ways. Wouldn't go near Batch personally and I'm not convinced Ablitt is good enough. Thompson for Thomas the best bet I reckon.

Mike0310 Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 It’s very unfortunate what has happened to jack thomas and I feel so sorry for him but if Poole make 2 changes to compensate for it in my eyes is disgraceful putting someone out of a job this close to the season is bang out of order with the points Poole have there is enough decent riders to fill that spot this is one interested person to see the morals of messers ford. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read carefully, I wrote ‘ if it lifts ‘, which despite the previous comments, it CAN do , under certain circumstances . Yes, they are heavier than ‘air ‘ panels but a bike going in first is still capable of lifting a panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 7 hours ago, GiveusaB said: What? Poole putting a rider out of work to make the team stronger? C'mon...we all know that Poole will do whatever it takes to give them the best possible chance of 'winning' ! (quite rightly so IMO!) There's a big difference between making a mid-season change to strengthen up and dropping a rider pre-season with no team spots available though! Anyway as far as I'm concerned replacing Thomas for Thompson, Kemp or Rowe doesn't make Pirates any weaker - so if for example Batchelor & Ablitt is stronger than Thomas & Newman, why wouldn't they start with that team? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morals? Lol. They put the club first instead of individual riders. Having said that there are exceptions to that like Darcy and BK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
