Was hoping Cookie to have a 'mare but done ok in his last 3 rides. I wonder if his Polish mechanics will be with him tomorrow? Hope not.:rolleyes:

He might feel a bit second hand after that crash, but good to see him on his feet ....

Is there anyone going to this meeting who would be able to text updates to the Updates site? If so, could you please send me a private message which includes your mobile phone number.

 

Thanks

Any news on whether Cook is fit to ride today?

Not seen anything to suggest he wont be there, only that he feels like he has been hit by a bus and is struggling to walk or sit down this morning.

Interesting to see the guest situation if not there.... as hasn't ridden in official fixture and can't go back to previous 1-7 as Worrall now in Edinburghs. 

Think Mr Godfrey will be well up with the rules....

They will think is something,should the situation arise probably in Scunnys favour:P

The rule is this:

16.5.2.2 No facility is permitted to replace a rider, who although included in a Re-declaration has not made an appearance for that Team since being re-declared.

So clearly according to that there should be no facility. It's stupid of course, the point of the rule is to stop teams deliberately signing an injured rider to get a facility. It should not apply here but because of the poorly written rule, it might.

Peterborough of course chose to revert rather than go ahead with no facility

A little different as their signing Kennett was known to be out for some time ahead and hopefully Cook would not be

It does beg the question as to when a redeclaration becomes binding and suggests Glasgow (if the wished) could insist Worrall be reinstated and ride today

Nothing on Glasgow's social media outlets to say otherwise so I suspect Craig will be riding today , this place is mental at times stating what should happen if he doesn't ride, it's as if people want him to be unfit to start the I am outraged post's.

We don't even know if he is or isn't riding yet, some need to get out more.

I would not think, for the sake of the other riders, that Glasgow would revert back to their previous 7, if possible. If having not ridden since a re-declaration there is no facility so a NL guest. Even a half fit battered & bruised Cookie will do better than that. Plus he knows his way round here very well as one of his first meetings was here & has never disappointed.

I hope he does ride today - he will be a great draw in the Championship and a boost to the league as a whole

I simply have a more in depth interest than many in the machinations of the regulations and their application :)

And BTW I will be out when this one is on - will be watching my teenage sons in their rock school concert :P
