scottyfan Posted May 12, 2023 Report Share Posted May 12, 2023 Will never forget one of Mervyn’s first signings for Weymouth back in 1980 on a FREE transfer from Reading……Simon Wigg…..That has to be one of the best transfers ever. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a Poole fan but Rew in for the challenge match and Hagen felt like a trial run. If Hagon is coming in for roynon, which would seem harsh, then Rew or the other Aussie makes sense, has Rowe completed a UK season yet above NL? the Polish u24s run on a Wednesday don’t they? Pretty common knowledge that’s where his priorities are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted May 20, 2023 Report Share Posted May 20, 2023 Rowe has done well so far this season. Done exactly what is expected of him. Adam though has tailed off after a bright start. Silly falls allowing points to slip, followed by tailed off on Wednesday don’t bode well. If he goes Plymouth will surely jump in for him.

I can’t see Rowe lasting just due to him, not performances. Roynon to Plymouth would make sense but who for? They won’t drop Trigger and can’t imagine Turner being dropped this soon, they did with Goret though I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst Adam does seem to have tailed off a little, he is still doing his average - as is Anders. As for Rew he's said with all his other racing commitments, he doesn't want the Championship schedule this season!! Maybe that might change towards the end of the season once European fixtures have eased off a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that might change towards the end of the season once European fixtures have eased off a little. I would have expected him to have at least a ride on Weds! I like Hagon and if we need a 2 pointer again he is the one to go for. But there is no point doing it unless you are changing someone else as the averages haven't changed yet so still about 1.5 difference between him and Roynon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
