Arthur54 Posted October 17, 2023 Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 Let's get this up and running. Good start for the team, how about Richard Lawson, Ben Cook, Zach Cook and Kyle Newman, and if the rumours are true, a returning Aussie Josh Grayczonek, not sure how that would work with the points limit.

Josh???!!! Glad I was sitting down when reading that. Will be one of the shock signings of the winter if that happens. Thought he was settled in Aussie with his career and gf. Although seems like she is a PT, so could do that anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrisB Posted October 17, 2023 Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 If the limit is 38: Ben 7.39 Zach 6.22 Anders 5.80 Kyle 5.51 Dan Thompson 4.86 Joe Thompson 3.51 plus one more rider up to 4.71 On paper looks weak but scope for improvement. No room for Steve or Richard ... If the limit is 36 for top-6 plus a 2-pointer: Steve W 7.84 Ben 7.39 Zach 6.22 Anders 5.80 Dan Thompson 4.86 Joe Thompson 3.51 (35.62) plus the 2-pointer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he was going to ride for Sheffield in 2020 before COVID happened. So has been the 3 season gap needed for reassessment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted October 17, 2023 Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 (edited) Josh would ride on his Polish Licence so would probably come in as a second string on an assessed 5.00!! Edited October 17, 2023 by Skidder1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barabas Posted October 17, 2023 Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 I'm not a Poole fan I'm a glasgow fan home of the ahem champions... but I thought tate zitchke was in the pirates side next season ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Beevers Posted October 17, 2023 Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 With a rumoured 38 points limit and with the usual British average percentage reductions of averages I can see something like: (Please note rough averages) 1) S Worrall 8.00 2) Jack Thomas 4.80 or A Foreigner 5.00 3) Zach Cook 6.20 4) Anders Rowe 5.90 5) Ben Cook 7.40 6) Joe Thompson 3.60 7) Sam Hagon 2.60 All riders imo have potential to improve averages.

LisaColette Posted October 17, 2023 Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 Still think they will keep Richard as he is an asset. Then if you have both Cook's that leaves just over 16 for 4 riders if we are working to a 38 point limit. Poole DJ is going to go on about Tom Brennan coming to Poole now as he has wanted him here for past few seasons but as he is on 7. 15 average, would have to be instead of Ben Cook, so can't see that.

Mike0310 Posted October 17, 2023 Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 It’s alright going on about the cooks but if I’m not wrong is it not right one of them is a Plymouth asset,so don’t get to carried away Poole fans,and before I hear he doesn’t want to ride for Plymouth fair enough buy him,if not maybe he won’t be riding in anyones team, maybe the highest bidder will get him. If he’s not a Plymouth asset anymore I’m sorry for wasting peoples time reading my ramblings lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted October 17, 2023 Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 (edited) If it's a 38 limit, how about? With a lower limit could probably expect plenty teams with 2.00 reserves, so Poole would have strength there & if the Cook's can continue their trend of upping their averages, shouldn't be a bad heat leader trio! Poole Richard Lawson 8.48 Ben Cook 7.39 Zach Cook 6.22 Drew Kemp 5.19 Stefan Nielsen 3.75 Joe Thompson 3.51 Adam Roynon 3.41 Total 37.95 Edited October 17, 2023 by szkocjasid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthers99 Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 I'd rather go for a 2.00 rider instead of Roynon and have Rowe or another 6.00 rider instead of Nielsen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
