LisaColette Posted May 15, 2023 Report Share Posted May 15, 2023 No preview from either team yet. If Erik not riding, limited choice of guest and no you can't use Lawson lol Looking at averages you could have Schlein or Flint from Berwick, anyone from Scunny apart from Dougy or Brennan from Glasgow. Biggest test for Poole this season as we only been riding against Plymouth a million times and Oxford! Interesting to see how it plans out. Happily take a 12 point lead to Redcar.

Dickie Head Posted May 15, 2023 Report Share Posted May 15, 2023 I’m told Poole will be without Anders Rowe due to an international commitment in Germany. R/R instead with Sam Hagon at No.8. Redcar hope to be at full strength. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poole certainly haven't ridden against a team with a reserve the strength of Edwards, so will be tougher for Newman & Roynon. Should be two good meetings, but can't see past Poole for an aggregate win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But glad Poole have learnt their lesson and are having a no8 there and good choice with Sam Hagon too. Can someone remind me when a no8 can be used? Is it just in a r/r ride or can they replace a reserve as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under the new rules a No.8 can replace ANY rider in any heat but cannot be used in heat 15, the reason for which is only known to the person who made up the rule. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As per the Pirates website!! ps. the last I heard about Riss was that he's still unfit to ride and seeking further investigation with a Neurologist! Ipswich concur!

Yearbyred Posted May 15, 2023 Report Share Posted May 15, 2023 Comfortable home win - if the Bears can keep it within 10 it would be respectable. Expect Danny and Charles to score the majority of the points and Poole second strings and reserves to out score their opposite numbers. Would have purchased the stream but there is a reasonably important football game going on and I suspect a few Bears fans will be more focused on that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LisaColette Posted May 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2023 BV colts aren't riding on Saturday so hopefully Sam Hagon can come in as a no8 again at Redcar. Shame that Anders isn't going to be here as really got some good form going atm. Was good in the Swindon meeting and at Plymouth. Passed Richie Worrall there which is no easy thing to do!

Even if you still get the 5% for being at home in 2nd leg they only have up to 8.65. This is presuming I am looking at the right averages sheet. lol. I just looked at the one for start of season as no one's average has changed yet? Edited May 15, 2023 by lisa-colette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be hoping to finish behind Marcin first few league matches get that average down. Wages must be halved this season losing all these guest bookings 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rory Schlein seems best option if they end up needing a guest. Edit - and if they did use Rory, that would be 3 riders in their team from our 2021 double champions season!
