mdmc82 Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Nothing to do with poole then!! If holder cant make I would have thought schlein would be the choice Rory retired from international duties. He has since represented GB at GP qualifiers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Blobby Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Interesting read in this weeks speedway star about cookie and rossco. Cookie said to him that he didn't want to do the world cup this year as he has been very inconsistent but Rossiter begged him to ride because he wanted him to be in his 4 then seen him not do so well at cardiff then changed his mind and bring in King instead of him. So the team was going to be Tai Harris Stead Cook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screm Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Im surprised rosco hasnt had much flak for leaving cook out as middlo got alot of flak for dropping him Most fans know that either with Cook or King, or anyone else for that matter Team GB have little or no chance in winning the meeting tonight, and virtually no hope whatsoever of making the Final. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) I'm not a Rosco lover. He tries to be a nice man but does all his washing in public. Wasn't that long ago he was slating Stead when riding for Swindon, now he want he to be England's saviour . An England manager should more have dignity than that. Pity Scotty Nicholls not riding any more, with him in the side we could have won this today. As it is we are still relying too much on Woffy to lead the way. Bomber always goes well here. If Stead gates he will score points. Main concern is King. Although he tries hard, has never sit the world alight, especially round NA, only recently Lambert came from way back to beat him comfortable. Thinking along the lines of 'Horses for Courses' policy, I'm sure there are a few riders that could 've filled that space not counting Cookie..., Edited July 26, 2014 by GRW123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Im surprised rosco hasnt had much flak for leaving cook out as middlo got alot of flak for dropping him Did he get much flak for the that? Personally I'd have kept him in but can see why he dropped him. The fact he picked Kennett was baffling especially when King was on form at the time. He then bought in Barker and Bridger with King nowhere to be seen, I thought that was poor. Still its a tough job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted July 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Im surprised rosco hasnt had much flak for leaving cook out as middlo got alot of flak for dropping him Problem was his replacement was awful in the race off, might as well have left Cook in. The main problem was picking Kennett who has always been poor at Lynn. Rosco has picked the four best horses for the course tonight, Cook can possibly count himself a little unfortunate but his time will come once he spreads his wings.

Gavan Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Im surprised rosco hasnt had much flak for leaving cook out as middlo got alot of flak for dropping him Middlo was tactically inept we know that, and he picked Kennett for christs sake! He picked Cook who didnt do the business at Lynn, Rosco noted Cook isnt great at Lynn and went for a 'horses for courses' policy. Granted i wouldnt have had Stead but definatly not Cook at Lynn. No one is moaning about Cook not riding because it is the correct choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavan Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Yeh, but Rosco doesn't manage Poole !!! and the paranoia kicks in! If you think Kennett was a good choice or that Bridger and Barker were right for the race off then you are way off the mark. but no you are right its anti poole lol Nothing to do with poole then!! If holder cant make I would have thought schlein would be the choice would that be the Schlein that like Nicholls has 'retired' from internationals? Facts first please Thats good then king miles better than cook or stead He didnt deserve the flak, cook deserved to be dropped lo he totally deserved the flak! Cook wasnt dropped for Kennett!

Woz01 Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 It's been confirmed no Holder tonight. Good chance for GB to make the final but Id still have the Aussies as slight favourites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandorum Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 It's a sad state of affairs when we have to hope the opposition riders drop out to give us a chance to progress on home shale. 2nd probably best we can hope for but you never know the lads might just surprise their critics and win. I do hope so and best of luck to the GB quartet also hope for a good close meeting with all 16 going home in the same condition they turned up in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrow boy Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Cook can possibly count himself a little unfortunate but his time will come once he spreads his wings. I agree. Staying in the Premier League is not making him improve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 With Hancock leading them, I wouldn't rule USA out either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Blobby Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Rossco originally had cook in his 4 before Cardiff after persuading cook to ride in the world cup because he didn't want to as his form was poor. He then decided to change his mind After Cardiff and bring in king instead of cook after seeing him not do to well that night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
