If J.Holder comes back what about Woffy???..under the same banner Sheffield  and Leicester...

I think a way will be found to keep Woffy and Jack in the same team

Any team taking on Cook is a massive gamble, always misses meetings with a variety of reasons be that mental health card, dodgy van, or just doesn’t fancy it, it’s been the same for years now.  They’d have been better going for someone who gives their all each meeting like Mountain and use the points elsewhere to rebuild 

I agree with your sentiment that Cook is a strange move but please, "Mental health card"  Shows a huge amount of disrespect for the many people who deal with issues or care for those that do.

what I was saying was he uses that when it seems to suit, he may suffer with it but it seems that speedway isn’t helping him,  a lot with him is to do with issues outside of speedway I know he had a big thing happen over the winter that’s not been all over the speedway press or social media and also had some work on his back post season that no doubt impacted him

I have family and friends that have been diagnosed with anxiety so know how it impacts people and if they identify a situation or scenario that gets to then they steer clear which could be something Cook could with following

Fair enough,  I have no reason or desire to get into any sort of back and forth with you, or indeed to defend Cook or discuss his own personal issues. I just felt like I needed to flag what appeared to be a flippant comment about a serious problem for many people.

Totally get what you are saying. But you are are either fit (mentally or physically) or not to participate in a very dangerous sport which is also demands an extensive travelling commitment.  Personal health and well being are the priority, but excuses for under performing to the paying public should not be tolerated. Either commit fully to your employer or step back to sort yourself out.

You forgot to let us know your actual medical qualifications. I understand that you have an opinion but health is something best left to the experts in my opinion

The problem with making a mistake, is trying to correct it but in doing so you can just make another one, which ends up by making the whole situation even worse than it was originally. 

Unless there's a stunning signing in the pipeline such as Wozniak, it's now in the hands of the riders to get Stewart Dickson off the hook and maybe actually they "owe him one".

No chance, would have to make a multitude of changes & would certainly lose their strong reserve

Lynn could have him when Holder is back,he would slot in nicely to replace Jorgensen for the last couple of matches.:).Witches fans would love that wouldn't they:rolleyes::P

How come Leicester are racing on a Saturday? It's prob already been said,, but I don't fancy trawling through pages 

Assume fixture fulfillment before cut off date. Very surprising that Sheffield have been able to get Tobi and Tai (Wroclaw on Sunday) to agree to it. Same with Fricke for Leicester

Fricke’s Polish season is over, he’s a free man at the weekends other than GPs
