george.m Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 but anyone trying to sign riders at the moment knows very well where the really big money is being offered. To Al Stewart, and anyone who's "liked" this post. What exactly is your issue with this? Without specifying, it could be interpreted as being ... jealous, feeling the heat, defeatist. All of the above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have seen Glasgow promotions come in and do this before and it might win a few pairs trophies but it usually ends in tears. The year you won was won by riders improving not largesse with the cash.

Mr Blobby Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 (edited) http://www.cookieracing.com/news.php?subaction=showfull&id=1446321600&archive=&start_from=&ucat=3& well it was going to happen eventually. Will go down as a legend and probably one of the best to put on blue & gold race jacket. He has been a pleasure to watch over the past 5 years and hopefully you do well on the continent and show them what you can do.

jenga Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 also a pleasure to watch in his early days at workington. we all knew he was something special . his track craft, even in his early days was phenomenal , good luck to him wherever he goes .. its been great having him in the pl . you lucky Edinburgh fans . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazc Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Really to progress his career this was the only desicion he could make he will be a loss to Edinburgh and the PL in general quality rider that deserves to be successful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monarchlad Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Now who replaces Cookie?......maybe Nick Nick, or Mr Worrall......or maybe even Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazc Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Now who replaces Cookie?......maybe Nick Nick, or Mr Worrall......or maybe even Aaron You never know think Masters will step up to the plate solves part off the problem of points trimming due to the averages.

coomie Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Wish Craig all the best for 2016,best away rider at the oak tree over the past few seasons with out question 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkafag Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 (edited) Replacing Cook will be a bit like replacing Saurez and Bale, you can try and spread the transfer fee/average but finding a rider who just wins heats 1,13 and 15 is a bit like finding a footballer who scores/assists 30 goals + Edited October 31, 2015 by sparkafag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drosser Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 I agree that Cookie will be a loss to the PL. He is a racer who is determined and ambitious. At PL level we like to think of ourselves as an autonomous league where we build teams and own riders. However, for riders who have the talent and determination to get to the top, PL is (and should remain) a necessary training ground and stepping stone towards their goal. We will probably see Craig (and similar riders) in the PL again in a few years, after they have 'peaked' and are on the way down (no-one stays at the top forever - well, except for The Californian!)

spin king Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Is anyone surprised really, cannot make a name for himself riding on the continent while riding Premier League. Personally I think it has done Edinburgh a massive favour, they can now go with; Masters Wolbert Sedgmen Riss Clegg 3 pointer And still have 5.86 left over for their last rider. Maybe another Riss joining the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Blobby Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 What would Tabaka come back on average wise? 6.00 i believe, personally wouldn't take the risk on him though. Not rode over here for 2 years and don't think he could improve on that IMO. But if another team want to take him on this year and lets say for example his average drops a bit for 2017 you never know. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
