He'll be fine! Don't see why you are so worried. He'll find points at Poole a lot easier to come by now he isn't riding against us! 

Staying injury free is his biggest problem most seasons.Also what I have seen of him he is more of a gater.

Lawson, kerr,zach,Rowe will be the top 4 for Poole they're still unsure of final 3 but I suspect there will be a new foreigner on an assessed average hagon and ford surplus to requirements unless Poole get 38pt team building limit they voted for along with Oxford, Berwick and Edinburgh. I can't see any of the other teams changing their minds imo.

Jordan Stuart maybe if granted a 25% discount for not riding UK for 4 years. Still only 26 and if not retired could do a good job at reserve as was showing promise at Redcar before serious injuries. If not retired, as even Swindon signed him up for Prem before cancelling running in 2020/21.

If you mean Jordan Stewart, he's retired, has his own house , about to get married and about 4 stone heavier than when he last got on a speedway bike so I think you can discount him.

Lewi Kerr confirmed see PIRATES NAME LATEST HEAT LEADER

[ASpeedwayfan]

So just Anders Rowe and the 2 riders that no one really has a clue who they’ll be

Most people guessed Kerr and Rowe would be in the team, you said Thomsen was not in the team. Personally did not want Kerr as he gets injured alot and that doesnt help, would have preferred an improving rider like Dan Thomson.

So that gives 4.32 max for the last rider (assuming Rowe +2). If so it looks like a continental 4 to me.

Good to see Lewi Kerr (7.76) has brand new machinery, some new sponsors and is great mates with Rich Lawson. Not a bad spearhead as long as he stays injury-free.

When you sign for Poole you improve well most do look what it done for Brennan  although I know little about Kerr but the Ford's don't get much wrong so expect him to be an excellent signing he must over the moon to be given this opportunity and be in the same side as his mate 

[Gavan]

Well losing Brennan and Cook for Kerr and Rowe makes the pirates look much weaker than last season ….. I know points had to be lost but that is a lot weaker…. 
 

Although wild getting rid of a decent points scorer in Foord could hurt them 

Can see changes at Poole through the season

Was always going to be hard replacing those two, very much on the up

Whoever signed Brennan last year we’re always going to get the improvement as he was improving year on year and he was on the up.

Nothing to do with who he signed for.

True, but I think the stability of being in a pretty much all conquering side brought him on that little bit further though.

The biggest shock is replacing someone who rarely missed a meeting with someone who seems to spend more time in A&E than riding.

The team had to lose 5.80 points after team building discounts. It was always going to look weaker. Once the other sides are all announced, I think the Poole team will look very good.

It's pointless to compare teams to previous years - it's only worth comparing them to the opposition they will face. On that measure, I don't think there will be any concerns.

Was curious to see how bad Kerrs injury record was over the last season, so I checked out the league results. He missed 5 meeting and scored zero in two when he was injured. Not too impressive, but maybe it was just a phase he has learnt from?!

Kerr needs to step up next season or we are stuffed.

Apart from Lawson, who always seems to deliver, they'll all have to step up next season, still looking a strong side and maybe another rabbit out the hat for the last rider, but can't see them dominating like they did last season, although they normally seem to get it right.

Nice to see the last heat leaders Eastbourne had being employed by Poole again ....

How do you explain his improvement with Birmingham then 🤔.
