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

Would love Vinnie and Toby back, they are crowd pleasers, just what we need, do not want boring old Starke or Kerr poodling about at the back 

Well that’s who you may get🤣

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.

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?

As much as I do like Nathan, for me it’s a no brainer to keep either Sam or Tobias instead and keep Vinnie at reserve.

People have been saying for the past 2-3 seasons that Starke was on a bargain average and he’s just continued on a downward spiral before getting dropped each time, he’s on that average for a reason!

I'd say Glasgow scuppered themselves by dropping Starke before he dropped to reserve. Workington were schrewed enough to know what he could score at 6 or 7.

Cami should've known that too.

I think Starke & Foord would both be great reserves for Poole, they've got a good rider whoever they pick. Would've gone with Tobias & Vinnie myself.

It was tactical though ,Pijper and Smith were never going to go above him in the averages for him to get to reserve.Thats why they they made the Team changes.
