Kerr averaged 7.09 last season, making him 20th on the list. I can't see him putting nearly 2 points on that at this stage of his career with the injuries he's had. According to the final GSAs, there were 20 riders with 7.00+ averages and Lewi Kerr was 13th on 7.96 (7.76 for team building), despite carrying an injury for most of the season as well as most of the Berwick team with Schlein and Borke out for most of it. He should make 8.50 as a Pirate no problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But his actual average from 13 meetings in 2024 is 7.09 His green sheet average therefore includes 7 meetings from 2023 when he rode for Oxford.

STEVEHOLS54 Posted 8 hours ago Report Share Posted 8 hours ago All the Kerr posts re av he may achieve. For me it could be Rowe who is the real steal for Poole. His av with Brit discount is 6.11. Based on his 2023 av. He only came back to Champ for Glasgow later in season due to Prem & POL U24 season and rode 4 matches (2 H & 2A). AV over the 4 with a 7.76 av. Home 8 av - away 7.56 av. Using this as a guideline you can see how his riding in Prem and the POL U24 has improved him and at still 22 he is improving (just as Brennan has improved). If he carries on scoring at those levels and Kerr also adding a bit to his av, then it could be another decent season for Poole. Especially if Zach Cook also finds some improvement. We should not lose sight of the fact his av was 6.23 but with BP it was actually 7.44. Even Thomsen who was 4.41 was 5.29 with BP. Plenty to look forward to but the reserve situation could also be critical if its Cairns/another 2 pointer until July and that so important number 6 who most of us are still guessing on who it might be. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewy Posted 6 hours ago Report Share Posted 6 hours ago Come on everyone lewi kerr is the best signing ever because the Poole fans say so,despite the fact he was second choice because Kyle howarth opted for Glasgow and Poole thought they had him,apparently riding a decent track tipped the balance in the tigers favour. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamster00 Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago Lewis Kerr will be fine, exactly as fine as he was at Oxford when he had Masters and Nicholls to share the load. Along with Lawson, Rowe and Cook it will be one of the strongest top fours in the league and I have no doubt the whole 7 will be a match for Glasgow (If the rumours about their team is true) at the top of the table. I do enjoy a chuckle at some Poole fans worries at the team won’t be strong enough, I can only dream of my team having those worries lol. Barring injury woes or some drastic underperformances then I’d pencil the Pirates in for the play offs and probably the BSN and KO cup finals, semi finals at least. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will still do a good job as second heat leader with new bikes, machinery etc as long as he stays injury-free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewy Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Good to see the new development league for next season, surprisingly Poole not supporting this or helping with the development of British youngsters, some things are more important than making a profit like the long term development of British talent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So potentially the club closes if there is a loss? (When they were talking about the Prem) Sure if they could break even with it, be a possibility.
