Bagpuss Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 He got his foot in the door last year in Poland so a few rides over there on his spare Sundays and perhaps the odd Thursday in Sweden would do him the world of good.

Arson fire Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) If a german is the last rider, Edinburgh will have a very long tail imo, cook or masters cant afford to drop points, and someone needs to do a worrall... or they will be on the wrong end of a few mullerings i think. Â Which Wolbert turns up could be the key to their season. Edited December 13, 2014 by Arson fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScotsman Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Don't worry - it'll will be the real Kevin, not his Glasgow twin. Â And you forgot about Sedgy. Huge number of bonus points last season meant he averaged over 8 when you take them into account. Â And the reserves were firing mainly blanks away from home in the last 2 or 3 months of the season so the new pair won't do worse. Has Max been sold to the Aces or on loan? Â I think Aces are considering buying him. Would stop anyone else getting him the following year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crescent girl Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Has Max been sold to the Aces or on loan? If Matej Kus is worth £21K, and the asking-price for Aaron Summers is rumoured to be £25K, what would Monarchs expect to get for Cookie?

baba Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Cookie, masters, wolbert, sedgeman will make sure edinburgh never lose at home so other 3 arent under much pressure from the off and will soon enough get dialed in. Once again very strong looking side from the east without knowing identity of last rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavan Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 (edited) Another strong looking team though not as good as last year should still see you make the play offs. Dont blame you for wanting Cook back but cant believe he hasnt made the step up full time and tried to get contracts elsewhere abroad. Lack of ambition clearly evident. Last season Cook didnt progess and i think he has reached his level. You would expect him to easily hold down a heat leader berth in the elite but he is a second string. He will always be a top premier rider, an avaerage elite rider, and will never make the gp's in a million years Edited December 14, 2014 by Gavan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazc Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Think Agent Kevin will up his game. Doubtful that the team will be as strong as this year's, but it's still very capable of play offs. He is capable but wether he will is up for debate thing about Wolbert is you don't know what you are getting from him from one minute to the next far too inconsistent and his machinery was in general poor but on the average he is on it technically shouldn't fall any further but never count your chickens with him.

He will always be a top premier rider, an avaerage elite rider, and will never make the gp's in a million years i was led to believe he had a ride lined uptowards the end of last season for a few meetings in poland but had to pull out due to the fixture back log in the uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 If Cook has done all he possibly can to secure a foreign contract over the last couple of years then fair enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will always be a top premier rider, an avaerage elite rider, and will never make the gp's in a million years Lack off ambition maybe but remember he was a late starter as far as speedway was concerned and what he has achieved in a short space off time is to be congratulated for a british rider who is to say he won't progress further at his pace. Â Anyway he seems very happy at Edinburgh and if you are happy in your place off work why would you want to move until you are ready fair play to him i certainly enjoy his visits to Ashfield. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
