He has ability, there is no doubt but he has nowhere near the potential of Jack Thomas. Anders, is a pretty good, hard riding speedway rider. Unfortunately, where it all goes wrong, is in the " gating department". Here is where Anders is among the most inconsistent in the championship and thats being generous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to disagree, he has a higher average & is younger than Thomas, personally I think they are similar just now, but Rowe will likely end up the better rider. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that Thomas has a much better attitude and in my opinion would be better than Rowe, Poole must have thought that or they would have picked Rowe in the first place. I would also say Kemp has more ability but his attitude has cost him a team place. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree Newman and Roynon will be fine. As a pair they should beat most other reserve pairings and both will be excellent at home especially Newman.

gazzac Posted March 14, 2023 Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 This maybe controversial but think in this league and apart from a question mark against Rowe and the nightmare of injuries, think Poole will probably go through the the season with the starting 7.

GiveusaB Posted March 14, 2023 Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 Newman will move up in to the team and Rowe will drop to reserve at some point. Rowe at reserve will excel.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think they can be in this league with the amount of riders available. Back in the day in the Elite everyone still wanted to ride here so there was a string of riders to come in for under performers/team changes from home and abroad, but Poole definitely were one of the most ruthless then.

I think Kyle is one of those riders who does better when he has a packed diary, so riding one league only doesn't give him enough meetings to get going properly.

Skidder1 Posted March 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2023 Kyle is a young family man and recovering from his shoulder injury (hopefully) so maybe one league with limited travelling to home meetings is enough?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
