Riders make mistakes and get injured, sometimes their fault, sometimes not, it’s a dangerous sport. Foord will be better with more experience. 

Hope he learns quickly

If it was Howarth instead of Kerr. With 4.81 left maybe that leaves a door open for Hagon to return on a 4.73? 
 

I would welcome Sam back with open arms. Yes he tailed off hugely last year but so much potential in him and started last year on fire. He’s also in Australia over winter which will help him no doubt 

Sam's problem was that the "highly rated" Tobias had such a poor start to the season that Sam was promoted up from reserve before he was ready. It's worth remembering the better scores from Tobias came from riding in a reserve position.

Not sure I'd agree with that philosophy, Hagon got his average as high as 5.18 this season, wether you think Thomsen should have kept him at reserve for longer or not, if a rider is capable of that figure they have to expect to move up into the team.

Some riders make the step up to the top 5 easier than others, Hagon obviously found it harder than might have been expected.

Hagon?????

More potential and he will improve imo. But i get why people would go for Starke, you know what you are going to get.

I’ve personally heard from a rider in that Poole team that that is the team 

Will be interesting to see who the 2 pointer is going to be as no one seems to know who that will be. Unless they haven't decided yet.

Lawson

Hagon

Z Cook

Rowe

Kerr

T.Thomsen

?

That’s the Poole team, I’m just not sure who’s at number 7 before Cairns takes over on July 1st

Happy with that team. Lawson was the best rider in the league last year. A proper number 1 who scores well everywhere. 
Hagon a young Brit who has so much potential. Good equipment and will kick on this season. 
Zach and Rowe both are in for big big seasons. Both need to kick on and will surely be the strongest 3/4 pairing in the league. 
Kerr could take the number 1 jacket from Lawson should he stay injury free. Poole as always will bring the best out of him. 
Tobais will hopefully pick up where he left from. No excuses with injuries this season so should get out of the reserve berth quickly 

good luck to whoever’s number 7 and hopefully they can stake a claim to not be the one dropped for Cairns

By my sums, that team is over the limit?

Richard Lawson 9.17
Lewis Kerr 7.76
Zach Cook 6.23
Anders Rowe 6.11
Sam Hagon 4.73
Tobias Thomsen 4.41
Two Pointer 2.00
Total 40.41

Who'd want to be at seven knowing when Cairns turns 16 you're out the door no wonder you're not sure who's at 7

I think when every club has chosen their number 7, Poole will go for the next best available. Can't imagine any rider willing to take half a season at Poole over a full season elsewhere.

But if you substitute Howarth on 7.27 for Kerr 7.76 you get 39.92. Not a bad fit all in all. 

To say it again a rider doesn't become bad overnight, Sam has slumped but he will come back just a matter of when, hopefully 2025 at Wimborne Road.

Not necessarily get dropped though. Just have to do better than other reserve. Guess riders who want a challenge more likely to go for it.
