STEVEHOLS54 Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 interesting that Oxford have signed Masters/Nicholls & Kerr as their top 3 for 2023. Look a bit exposed maybe at botton half with Heeps/Jenkins/Atkins and Aussie youngster Killeen 17 who rode in their NDL squad but shows promise. Only mention it on here as kind of shows you what happens when you go for a strong top 3. Will be interesting to see how we line up in comparison at Poole.

Well the GSA av don't lie and he is 7.92 before the 2.5% Brit reduction. That is not a bad top 3, and with a proven 10.58 man to lead them you are going to get plenty of points out of them. just a question of whether they have enough at the bottom ??. I think on many a day those bottom 4 could struggle to get 10 between them but that's just my opinion. Anyway as i said only posted it on here to express a view of I wonder which direction Poole will take. personally I think they will go for more strength in depth.

Biffa Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 Were Poole not giving after meeting rides to Brayden McGuiness late in the season ? Wondering if he was looking for/being considered for a spot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought Danny Ford in his Echo write up said had already had conversations with all the riders before the delayed play off final to inform them who would/wouldn't not be coming back in 2023. If Ablitt waiting for the phone to ring it indicates he was told he is not in current team plans. Will be interesting if Danny gets his so called "Dream Team" as he puts it or end up with his back up plan B or C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually if a rider is not going to be used his name is circulated to other clubs but he may be in one of Danny's/Matt's optional line-ups. As in every year it'll come down to the numbers game and which riders can hold or improve their averages!

That would be a shame in my view, i thought Nathan did a reasonable job considering his position in the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the majority of Poole fans would agree but if the 2023 team is being built differently - bearing in mind the new 40 point limit - then changes are inevitable.

With a reduced limit i would have thought a 2 point rider would be a good option. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
