Going to be a good rider. Kemp cooked his goose with a tantrum at the playoff final at Kings Lynn against Leicester. Pi55ed off Danny Ford and that was that. Kemp is certainly showing his improvement and always has a point to prove at Poole. Would have been a far better guest than Barker. Just needs consistency. Kyle Newman and Adam Roynon...cough cough 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted July 31 Report Share Posted July 31 There is nowhere near the same amount of passing there was at the start of the season. Not sure it is that there’s not enough clay in the shale, or the home riders are now too good for the opposition, or a combination of the two. What riders can come to Poole and see off Lawson, Cook and Brennan? Backed up by Zack and decent reserves? If our boys make the gate it is almost impossible to pass them. Same with any track who have a powerful heat leader trio. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lbw Posted July 31 Report Share Posted July 31 WINborne Road says it all with Rocketman leading the way with a full house as we showed them Tigers how to get 3 points in the bag! Rider of the Night for me was Vinnie, sorry Richard, because he's showing more and more ability this time with 2 race wins! Good lad is our Vinnie, I will be at Leicester on Sunday to get behind him and Sam in the NDL series. Hope Sam can sort his form out soon as it can't be easy for him at the moment. Heat 15.......Bomber, where's Ben? C'mon the Boyzzzz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incidentally Tom Brennan took a few after meeting Laps on Hagon's machine and looked as fast as in the meeting itself. Sam is still a bit bruised from his crash a couple of weeks ago but needs to get his set ups correct ( hey Mr Dugard) Loved Ben Cook's pass from last to 2nd in heat 15. Boom. That's what I was thinking, has been struggling since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim G Posted July 31 Report Share Posted July 31 1 hour ago, bloom89 said: I agree and disagree, Poole had abblitt for the full season without dropping him even though he didn’t score many points, then they left him out the following year didn’t make sense. Rowe and Kemp had good seasons with Poole they increase there average and then not needed the next season. No disrespect to anybody but you’ve got the likes of frederiksen hardly improved since he’s been at Edinburgh, heeps been on the way down for the last few seasons but keep on getting picked that’s the clubs fault for signing these journeymen imo. Heeps is having a great season and scoring really well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with any track who have a powerful heat leader trio. Lawson, Brennan and Ben Cook are arguably the fastest gaters in the Championship and also very quick when in front so passing them is difficult. Justin Sedgeman did manage to beat them all at Wimborne Rd when Edinburgh visited last but he needed his top gating boots on to do it. The thing is the Poole heat leaders are very consistent (Rich Lawson has been for years), very professional with very good equipment. They also seem to ride well everywhere they go. Tom Brennan has progressed and been a top signing, probably rider of the season to date. Edited August 1 by SteelShoe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes surprising signing and very astute to get Tobias Thomsen in, personally I thought Thomsen would struggle but very happy to be proved wrong. Very surprised Brennan became available and has improved to be a top rider in this league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom has done magnificently but I am just a little bit concerned that he may have a bit of burn out come the business end of the season. Hope not but its happened before.
