Hes a favourite rider of mine But on shale even with your anti Poole hat on Worrall and Lawson will deliver and the Cooks will only get better indeed Ben I reckon will overtake Worrall in the averages,Thomas seems an excellent signing going by the opinion On here so that looks a good side so far now I know nothing about your mate but if he's that good and given we've got one more to sign and I'm sure HGOULD knows who that is roll on the season.

With the British reduction it is 4.32 I believe. I thought he was Aussie so not sure he qualified for the 2.5% reduction! Of course despite the Roynon rumours it could still be 2 x 4 pointers?

Compared to what was touted with Rew and Tate etc it just doesnt look nearly as good and doubt any Poole fans in November would of predicted what is now the likely team… Worrall and Lawson will do fine… Cooks could still go either way.. Ben had a great finish but seen riders have purple patches before and then go back to inconsistent 5-6pointers.. Poole cant afford him to do that this year because if he does i cant see any of the remaining riders stepping up to cover.. Poole will be there or there abouts at the end of the year but the touted team doesnt look the strongest out there so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGould Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 Lets be honest, Newman or Bailey would be excellent signings and make a very strong bottom 3 to add to the top 2 and to cover off any shortfall IF either or both of the Cook brothers had one of those "plateau / flatline" seasons that in terms of average many Aussies and Brits have in that very hard transition from 5. something to over 7 point something!

Of course despite the Roynon rumours it could still be 2 x 4 pointers? Rides on a British passport I believe. He's also rode in the NDL (Belle Vue Colts), so must be eligible for the 2.5% reduction. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 Interesting fact. Jack Thomas only ran 4 last places in 2022 on his home track. All four were against Poole. In the first meeting he had bike issues in his first two but came out with 8 from his last three. He then made an attempt to come back from his wrist injury in the B fixture which resulted in two last places before being withdrawn. Looks like a rider who once dialled in can be a real force on his home track. Needs more consistency away from home and if he stays clear of injury could be very popular quickly with Poole fans. A sub 5 average needs to be improved or he will be at reserve after the first GS. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
