Monarchlad

Cookie signed contract just after 22.00 tonight

As it's a gathers track Andrew would be ok

I would prefer Theo to stay with the Monarchs, but you would have to probable drop Deek, and have another lower scorer.........if Masters comes in

Looks like it could be Cookie 10.52 Tully 7.19 Masters 7.43 Max 5.80 Deek 5.52 Carr 3.00 Worrell 3.00 Total 42.46

Good on you George, announcing your team this early, great for the fans..........this is the way it should be

and a gater's track

He'll sign his contract on Friday, at the Audience with Craig Cook at the Broughton Rugby Club in Edinburgh

I think it will be Max Fricke at reserve for you as well......so near enough an all British team

So will Dario's back hold up to a full season at Berwick? now that he has left Indy Car

Edinburgh, and has been sold out for weeks

We'll find out on Friday at the Audience with Cookie and it is expected that Cookie to sign on Friday at this for 2014 for the Monarchs, I would also expect him to sign for BV, as he has said he would like to lead them to the new stadium

Neither am I biting, Cookie to sign next Friday

We'll find out next Friday at the Audience with Cookie

Sky may be back big style now that they keep losing other sports!!!

Agree....Derek need to be more consistent, you don't know what one is turning up, he will have a good first ride,then fall away, or rubbish then good last ride. But with the rest, I think Max could improve by 2.00/3.00 points, especially if he gets the reserve berthat Belle Vue, Joe can improve, by say 1.50/2.00 points, then the expectation would be for Cookie to improve by say 0.50 (which I'm sure is the goal that Cookie will set himself) Also I don't think if Sam rides for us he will be happy with an average of 7.43, so I would look for that also to increase by 1.00 at least. So lots of goals needing set, but the fans would expect that wee bit more

Not Deek fan then Scotsman? I think he gives the team more than his 5.52 average

Theo stays I say

It would be good if Sam came in, and he has indicated he may be over, Charles, maybe not after his reaction in the play off at the Dale, and Islanders team takes it to 45.46, so no chance Blooby, we may need to go with a young reserve pairing to accommodate Cookie, and you have to remember Carr took heat wins in both play off matches, and Josh had a really good meeting against the Rebels including beating Jason Doyle

How about this for a start Cookie 10.50 Max 5.80 Joe 6.00 Theo 7.70 Deek 5.52 Liam Carr 3.00 Josh Bates 3.00 Total 41.52 Max, Joe and Theo can all increase their averages next year, so would Liam and Josh

If they are not needed, we should sell and pick up a bit cash for air fence

Tully and Wethers are still both Edinburgh assets

I would have Josh and Richie a bit further up Barrow boys list, Josh at 6 and Richie at 7

Well he was in heat 9 tonight

I was at bend 3 and Morris mis judged the space, but it did look as if he was taking Joe at all costs

What are the thoughts on the match? Could be close if we look at my thoughts, although I do hope for a few more points from Deek at reserve, and Santa and Theo Cookie 14 Max 6 Santa 7 Jozsef 7 Theo 7 Liam 2 Deek 7 Total 50 Jason 11 although he only scored 6+1 on last visit Kyle 3 Alex 3 Josh 9 Nick 9 Charles 5 Oliver 0 Total 40 At Somerset it could be closer Jason 14 Kyle 5 Alex 5 Josh 10 Nick 10 Charles 6 Oliver 3 Total 49 Cookie 11 Max 6 Santa 7 Jozsef 5 Theo 6 Liam 1 Deek 6 Total 41 Again Derek at reserve maybe the extra that the Monarch need, but maybe toooooo close to call!!!!!
