Mind you, there were only 12 (including Michael West who I’ve not heard of) who did that. I can’t imagine why no one’s signed the near 30 year old Keleher I think Keleher himself may be the problem. He has one of the best PR sites on social media. Many a top rider let alone one of his ability would love how professionally he is portrayed in that respect. Get the impression (and I may be wrong) that he may be highly opinionated as to his own ability. So much so that even just before he came to UK with Poole, that his PR machine was touting him around as a good signing for any team in POL willing to sign him. he made headlines on Speedway News POL at the time. Nothing wrong with building yourself up but its important you show/have the ability to match the excellent PR machine he has. Also seems to have decent sponsors in Aussie with his personalised Z22 product. Certainly bombed in his short time at Poole and did himself no favours when falling out with the Ford's who I think partly dropped due to his attitude and affect on the rest of the team. (Something commented on by a good few on the forum alone let alone who knew outside of it). I do question what his actual ability is and importantly at that age if much or in fact if he has the ability to improve. If his ability really matched the PR machine he would walk into most teams. Just my opinion. I'm not against the guy as was all for him during the close season before he came over and even FB him and got a reply. However his scores over in Aussie were not as I had hoped in that 21 season and he was also getting injured on top. Maybe at Plym where he did have some decent scores but also plenty of poor one's, he may be able to prove the doubters wrong, but like everything it would be a gamble. But against a lot of weak reserves he could shine and get a decent GSA ?? Edited January 11, 2023 by STEVEHOLS54 typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But let's not get ahead of ourselves . The lad has enough on his plate riding Prem/Champ plus the Tuesday meetings in the POL U24 league.

Steve Irving Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 8 hours ago, STEVEHOLS54 said: I think Zach Cook must have sprouted wings mid meeting in the last round of the Aussie Champ. Two thirds in his first 2 rides and then won 2 heats on the bounce. In the first he beat Jack Holder & Pickering, in the second he beat Brady Kurtz. Total 8 points and won a place in the semi final. Finished last in that behind Chris Holder/Fricke & Kennedy. Not bad for a 23 year old lad who is about to start only his 3rd season in British Speedway, and who would have been starting in our Champ team at reserve had the team points limit not been reduced. Also congratulations to Poole asset Jack Holder who won the overall Aussie Champ late in the meeting after Doyle dropped points unexpectedly plus Jack also won the all important final as Doyle failed to qualify. Amazing that you can win the first three rounds yet still lose out on the Champ in the final meeting. Good on Jack for staying close to him through all 4 rounds to pounce when it mattered most. I bet Doyle must be gutted. I doubt it. I’m surprised he did as well as he did. He hasn’t even bothered with it in recent years but has done it this year to experiment and test new engines. He wasn’t particularly happy with his speed last year so is in the process of changing lots of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HGould Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 Very sad to see this character assasination of Zane Keleher for the alleged crime of arguing with a Ford. Interesting too to find out that he only took up speedway in his mid 20s after a successful MX career. He's had one season in UK and done as well most could have expected. Christ knows what flak he'd have had to take from Poole fans if he'd actually have been accused of something serious and faced serious charges in Court after arriving from Australia and bringing shame on himself and the sport. . Strange world where money and favour rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, there will surely be a number of possible overseas riders , especially from Oz and US who will be thinking it's a hell of a long way and commitment for what may be as few as 18 matches in 6 months if they can't find employment in other Leagues across Europe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
