Why did Danny say Vinnie wasn’t retained due to numbers game? Because he lies 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless….. the number 7 has a higher average than 2.00 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Starke would be a great signing if they had 3.5 available, but with over 4 available I'd have stuck with Foord. Apart from sticking with Foord for the future, he could be the better rider this season. If the averages fitted, I would've had them both.

PersonalResponsibility Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago You can't help but love the backtracking from some Poole fans on here. I took pelters on here last year - under a different account - when I suggested Starke on a <4.00 average would be a good signing, and a better option than Newman. Fast forward 12 months, where he's somehow got worse and he's now an inspired signing who will add 2 points to his average. Brilliant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverblue Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago Terrible signing, I said earlier numbers game is a smokescreen, I think they have made a real mess of this years team, Starke is well past his best, ridiculous to think he is a 5 pointer on a 3 point average. Vinnie is improving and getting better, way better than Starke. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marksman Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago Starke came in for the Comets and did a decent job, it wasn't hard to improve on what we had from reserve all year though. At times he beat who he should beat but often looked slow. This YouTube clip probably sums it up it you haven't seen it, and how much more determined Foord is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team wont win the league so changes will be made if and when Cairns comes in. Two issues are Kerr and Starke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two issues are Kerr and Starke. thing is poole usually get the best out of riders and have a home track which riders always score heavily on when they sign so despite your concerns i expect both of those riders will be fine once they settle in cairns is the one likely to make the difference once he is old enough he will set poole and glasgow apart in the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that because they changed limit from 38.00-40.00 and it caught us out as ideally I would of had Foord all day long,Starke isn’t a bad signing for a season of improvement can’t really go wrong should be hitting 4.50-5.00 meaning him thomsen at reserve do a decent reserve all season,but after that he won’t be at Poole in 2026 where as Vinnie it could of been more long term. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he should be hitting 5 but dont think he is capable anymore. He will have to be at least a 5 to keep his place, we know when Cairns comes in changes will be made and he could be the one to drop out.

Bellers101 Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago 4 hours ago, Steve Shovlar said: As expected. Didn’t realise he was 3.36. An absolute gift at reserve. He knows bike issues won’t be tolerated and what’s expected of him. He is more a 5-6 pointer. Should make mincemeat of many of the Championship reserves. He's on 3.36 for a reason.
