Based on seeing him ride for the Cubs, he is a bright kid that uses his brain and his throttle so will do a very good job for whoever he riders for at Championship level next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Maybe you're right... I have to admit it's been a few months since I've seen him (or anyone for that matter) ride... So he might have kicked on really well in the second half of last season, but the twice I saw him in the first half of last season, it looked as if he was just slightly off Championship level and could have done with one more season in the NDL... But I would be very happily be proven wrong. I just would have thought a rider like that could have benefited with a more experienced/better partner at reserve... Again, no offence to Sam Hagon, both good prospects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted October 25, 2023 Report Share Posted October 25, 2023 Starke? Never in a month of Sundays. He is well past his best. Expect a team like Plymouth or Berwick to sign him but a Poole rider he never will be. Too old, not got any improvement in him. Really should retire. Looked a complete spent force last year and not interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starke does look a spent force but if he's into it then he'd add 2 points to his average easily at this level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand You are joking, Kyle had a good season, faded a bit at the end unfortunately but always gives his all for Poole. Starke has gone downhill and is a risk for any team.

Expand No, should I be? Paul Starke has been a far better rider than Kyle Newman in the past. If Paul Starke can be described as "too old" and "not got any improvement in him" then so can Kyle Newman. I don't think you can doubt the effort Newman gives to any team, but making out you're above the level of Starke while Newman keeps being signed is illogical. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I love Kyle at Poole because of his commitment to the team and he is local plus he put well over a point on his average, always liked Starke too but his average is dropping which doesnt mean he is on a bargain average just means he isnt as good as he was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure predicting a rider, available on 4.10, and who's averaged: 2017 - 7.10 2018 - 6.80 2019 - 7.39 2021 - 6.58 adding 2 points to his average in a weaker league is my finest material, but I'm pleased nevertheless.

Expand Yes you have mentioned that before, if Kyle can't be fitted in with the lowered averages then that would be a shame assuming the shoulder op goes well.
