Surely there's not a serious suggestion Poole are dropping Vinnie and signing Starke? That seems very odd. Great opportunity for another club to pick Foord up though - wonder who that might be? Haven't heard much about Vinnie outside of Poole/Glasgow, but I don't think he's coming up here (though I'd love to be wrong).

He certainly scuppered Glasgow last season by maintaining his low average.Foord is a talent who will improve.

Would be surprised and disappointed if Foord isn’t at Poole next season. Think along with most fans the team will look like.

Lawson 

Hagon or Thompson 

Zach

Rowe

Kerr 

Foord 

2pointer (Cairns)

Hagon and Thompson will both keep the average below 40. For me it’s 50/50 to which one stays. Would like both to stay but that’s unlikely.

Thomsen & Foord for me. Unless they've signed a great 5 point rider instead of Hagon?

Wouldn’t want Starke in the team over Foord. Hagon was on fire at the start of the season but hugely tailed off. Hagon Vinnie Thompson all riders that will up there average next season wherever they are

Lawson, Kerr, Z. Cook, Rowe & Carins (When Available) leaves 8.74 for two

Former Pirate Ablitt 4.91 who's not at Scunny leaves 3.85 which means Foord 3.90 wouldn't fit but the rumoured Paul Starke does.

Foord would've been retained if it was Hagon or Thomsen at No.2.

Thomsen & Foord for me. Unless they've signed a great 5 point rider instead of Hagon?

So more accurately it's 3 choices:

Ablitt & Starke

Hagon & Foord

Thomsen & Foord

Tbh if they have lined up a "temporary two point rider" till Cairns turns 16, they'll win the league whichever pairing they go for!

Not sure who'd want to be a 2.00 rider at Poole though?

Nearly double your average - then your reward is to be dropped!

This year, ride till June then get replaced by Cairns!

Surely Poole will HAVE to start with the weakest 2.00 option?
