paul84 Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 Personally I’d have Cook at number 1 still got plenty in the tank in my opinion. I also think riding for his local Club with the right people around him and local support will let us see the best of him on track. He’s rode at a high level for the majority of his career and will be a top rider in the championship if he’s in the right place, time for him to come home. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally no, alot of ppl keep saying if he's in the mood but if he isn't he could end up being a no show again which ruins any decent team when your no1 is out. Saying that I can see it being cook at no1 tho 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Saturday 3pm this season if people don't know that. Personally no good for me as I play local sport at the same time. I'm sure the promotion would avoid clashes with the England matches, they aren't daft, plus it's not going to be weekly Speedway. And I don't think anyone will be missing a meeting because of the Olympics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better than an evening. I’ll plan to come down if I can, when there’s some tasty opposition in town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was looking through his CL averages over the years and it reminds you how dominant and consistent he's been at this level. "Bad" seasons have still been 9 point averages. 2009 Workington 3.93 2010 Workington 7.47 2011 Edinburgh 8.09 2012 Edinburgh 9.99 2013 Edinburgh 10.83 2014 Edinburgh 10.41 2015 Edinburgh 10.47 2016 Peterborough 9.67 2017 Workington 10.37 2018 Glasgow 11.05 2019 Glasgow 10.71 2021 Glasgow 9.46 2022 Glasgow 8.98 2023 Edinburgh 9.08 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cook has his well published mental challenges, however just to overcome them, or even just cope with them, as he has shown he can do, actually (and maybe even ironically), shows great mental strength and resilience.. In a place local to him, with supportive management, and in a league of a significantly lower standard, I can see him flourish, and also have a Div 1 place after a couple of months or so as teams make changes to their middle order.., Edited November 22, 2023 by mikebv 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
