Best of luck to Matej at Newcastle, proven at PL level and very capable of doing more than a decent job.
Good to see it has now been confirmed officially.
The kind of averages, scores and performances Cook has had for Edinburgh proves that, he was the best rider at PL level and has now gone on to hopefully further his career. Best of luck to him.
I am sure someone far more qualified will know better, but maybe Cook set a time of 62-8 on Saturday August 15th.

Pretty fair assessment, you could probably put a question mark against every team in both plusses and minus, and obviously some teams will be hit by injuries more than others. I like Sheffield and see them as the team to beat, where as I see Rye House and Redcar as weaker teams.
If Workington still intend bringing back Proctor in May, once he gets his visa, they will need to be wary of signing a rider who will use them for a bit of average fiddling, though its not as easy as it once was thanks to these rolling averages. Maybe they would be better forgetting about Proctor and just sign a rider for the season.
Rye House, Redcar and Scunthorpe all have riders yet to get true averages, once that happens you`d think they are the teams most likely to make changes.
I think Liam could be Berwick`s trump card, he has upgraded his kit and gained new sponsorship to put back into his racing. He is as good a No7 as there is out there, he has raced on all the PL tracks so should be able to compete with his fellow No7`s.
Understand your point on Glasgow, there top four is very impressive which will carry them so far but as things stand not to the top of the PL. As for Berwick I have then around halfway, but if Wethers can become a dominant reserve, and Alden hits the kind of scores he is capable of then Berwick could challenge for top four.
IMO Holder will need to up his game for this season if he is to stay in the top eight, obviously injuries and the situation his friend Darcy Ward found himself in have affected Holder. Hopefully now Holder is back to full fitness, and Darcy is in a better place, he can make an assault on SGP.
Take your point on Graves but the fast track round Owlerton should suit Berge down to the ground, the same with Hall though if Sheffield get the Richard Hall Berwick had then they may not be as strong.
Now Proctor has decided he wont make the start of Workington`s season they might well affect things, Glasgow have IMO the best top four but I don`t see them winning the PL with just a great top four, the others will have to contribute. Garcia will have better gear than last year so he could be the one to step up.
