Gazc Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 As much as Craig Cook is excellent off the track as much as he is on it and as most have said it would leave us with too long a tail , with the low points limit we need to be a lot more creative in our team building. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cook will at least bring wins & heat advantages in heats 13 & 15. Something that was missing far to often in the first half of the season. Just hope the team being built around him is strong enough to back him up. Likewise I am struggling to understand the alleged signing of Jensen. Don't get that one. If it is true that would most likely rule out a return for Kerr With Kent confirmed for the national league hopefully that means Jack Thomas will be returning A combination of rumours and guessing...... Cook 10.18 Vissing 7.23 Jensen 6.59 Starke 5.73 Greaves 3.99 Thomas 2.24 .......... 2.04 With drew kemp at Sheffield. What 2 pointers are there that could add a point or 2 on to there average? Looks like we might need to find one of these guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Vissing comes in on a 6.94 average StepK........so if we had to run with this type of team make up, I'd probably have Sargeant back in place of Greaves as we don't know how he'll be after his injury and long spell out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosty Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 If Cook rides for Glasgow in 2019 that would be bad for G.B. speedway & a backward step for C.C. May be they can sign Greg Hancock? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
