That is my concern also when it comes to batch. He has a bad rep and hopefully he's turned that around.
As for cookie, I was excited to see him this season because he promised a good pre-season and to come back better than ever. What I've seen on his social media, he seems to be doing a lot more that will benefit him this preseason than he did last season where he was rumoured to have done nothing at all.
Yeh, I agree with that. Troy was there in the tough moments when we had very little team members left. Cookie put us in the rubbish at redcar and other occasions.
However, I hope the old Troy doesn't appear this season. It could very well put us in a position with a poor number 1. Alternatively, he might prove us wrong and be a very good choice.
Just want the season to start asap
I didn't say anything about spitting my dummy out, did I? I think Cook would've been the better number 1 but the point of my post was to spark a debate amongst us all on why they went with Batch over Cookie.
So Mr.Baines has stated the departure of Cookie was purely down to numbers.
However, cookie, with his reduction, would've fit in the team over Batch. Therefore, they have decided to choose Batch over Cook.
I think having Batch at number 1 puts us in a position where we have one of the worst number 1s in the league.
Who we thinking ladies and gents? I can't help but think it'll be hook. He's an aussie like the majority of the other riders and he fits quite well in to the remaining pts
Is hook a definite? For me, i would prefer Riss. Feel like he's a very talented, no fear, never gives up rider. When he guested for us he done superbly.
