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???!!! :o:o

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.

He won the recent Darcy Ward meeting, so you never know

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

Josh would be on 10.35 converted average by my calculations on his last PL CMA. Unless running 3 2 pointers I can't see that happening 

How long has he been away though? If this is a serious option then I'm sure Poole will asking for a reassessment.

2019. Never came back after COVID. Can't see getting much when consider what crump got for being away for far longer. Seem to remember saying wasn't worthwhile without a polish place

Yes, I remember that. I can't see it happening especially when he has been building up his career in Aussie. Gotta love rumours though :D

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.

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.

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.

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
