Midget Posted January 3, 2020 Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 Cook is a poor signing, his average is only going one way an it's not up. A rider who has peaked and at time thought he was better than he actually was. The fact that he cant hack it in Poland but the likes of the up an coming Bewley and Lambert can says it all 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't be too bad as he's qualified for a GP series something Bewley & Lambert haven't done yet!

Will at the worst hold his average imho. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted January 3, 2020 Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 For their last spot, just sign anyone for a few weeks then when the Champ teams get a first new ave, sign Nico Covatti on a converted Champ ave (7.88 / 1.6 = 4.93) which will be lower than his current Prem ave (5.27)!

Can’t do that. Covatti would come in on what ever average is the highest between his current Premier or Championship converted average.

Had a higher away average than both Lambert and Bewley And a home track he had ridden regularly for less than one season suggests he could improve this in 2020 now more dialled in..

foreverblue Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 I think Cook is a good signing, should improve his current average and will be many maximums with Lambert in the later heats plus he is a good gater which is vital at Kings Lynn. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waytogo28 Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 History tells us that Cook will have at least one meltdown in 2020. He needs a lot of support off track and needs someone aware of his problems to manage him as a team member. A "wobble" seems omnipresent.

1984Star Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 Cook and Lambert one of the best spearhead in this league with back up from Riss we have a very strong top 3. I think if we can get someone with great potential like Pickering or Jeppesen at 7 with Proctor at 6 that could be one of the strongest reserve partnership. Biggest worry is the middle order think Both Jorgensen and Kerr will have time at reserve which will do them good. Clear up every home meeting pick up points away and we will be in the top four. Problem is we always seem to have a blip at home and just miss out on points away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct. It was his Championship average he came in on. Strangely though, the 2019 regulations didn't allow for that to be the case as he'd not missed the Premiership for more than 1 season. Rules had been wrongly interpreted as not having a current 2019 Premiership average for which he did. As the averages are rolling the final averages of 2018 would be the averages of 2019 so Cook had a current 2019 Premiership average and should have had that average. The fact that his Premiership average would have taken King's Lynn over the poinys limit would suggest someone may have helped themselves to an MC approval 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knows the tracks from the off. so not a gamble. Unless Buster has found a stonker, which isn't easy. I know the season hasn't started yet, but looking at the team, the top 2 will do ok, as will the reserves.Our week links away will probaby be TJ and Lewis. I think they will swap around a fair bit with the reserves throughout the season, leaving our engine room weak away from home whoever steps up into the 1-5. You need some points on the road to reach the playoffs. Hope i'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is correct otherwise, by what you're interpreting it as, a rider can not sign for a Premiership club for the first week of the season then come in on his Championship average. As an example: Brian Bongo finished the previous Prem season on a 12.00 average. He also finished the Championship season on a 5.00 average. Misses the first week of the Premiership the following season so would come in on his Championship converted average? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
