Not quite the whole season... they brought Marek Cieslak in for the last couple of months...

I was at Wolverhampton on the Sunday afternoon that The Rebels won to clinch the title... and if I remember correctly it was Trevor Geer who scored the points to secure the win. 

Beowulf is correct in that R/R was used the whole season. Cieslak rode the whole season also - some 40+ meetings

However long does that rule last for? Riders carry injuries for months

IRR is for any injury incurred in that said meeting.  Now how you would police that I don't really no.

You hope it's a zero without a One in front of it... :D

Always makes for good TV when Cookie rides well...  :)

 

It's a final Mike, let's be honest I want Belle Vue to win I don't care about being entertained on Thursday.  I want cook to have an absolute nightmare of a meeting, 4 engine failures will do me fine lol

Apart from people saying 'concussion' I'm not sure we've had any medical confirmation that that is what he is suffering from.  As is said before, it's not just being knocked out or having a bang on the head.  As for Cook, if he misses the start he often just gave up when I saw him this year, so Panthers cannot count on anything there - it is all adding to the interest for this tie though and I can't wait to see it unfold.

I think Leicester used that last night as the official reason he didn't ride for them.  Also the official paperwork to the ref on Monday from the Clerk of the course said withdrawn due to concussion.

Don't think any Panthers fans other than the absolute tool that's Keir Starmer, King of the Track and The Triggerer. We're still 50/50 and Cook is better than any other guest we could have hoped for.

Yeah, I read that, but neither of them are medical professionals and surely Peterborough would have explained that in their announcement if that was the case.  It's a bit like when they say a rider has the flu when in fact all they have is a cold.

I'm no medical professional but that appears a very early concussion diagnosis

Agreed!

Simple 'Google Job' - Someone with a concussion might be knocked out (this is called a loss of consciousness). But a person doesn't have to get knocked out to have a concussion. Signs and symptoms of a concussion include: headache

So yes, he could have been knocked out, but doesn't necessarily mean Concussion (I thought if you were knocked out, it's bound to mean concussion).

Craig’s certainly not been as good coming through when he’s missed the start at Ashfield this year. More often than not, he’s struggled to make the places back. He’s not been bad, just not the Craig Cook we’re used to. Just missing that 5% that makes him special to watch, rather than just another really good rider.

Does anyone else think the Panthers need to bring in Trevor Swales to help Rob?l

I don't think Rob has managed in a 2nd leg final and Trevor's nous could get us over the line. The way Trevor timed his jokers in 2006 was legendary. He gave the black and white helmet to Hans and Sullivan, great times.

No
