And he’s over that now, and has a proper diagnosis. You can’t say that he isn’t one of the top 3 riders in the league. Arguably number 1 as consistently proven over the last 10+ years 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he's third on the official averages of those planning to return, and he belongs there. Still fabulous when things are going well. Joint third-highest scorer for Edinburgh this season even though he only appeared in 7 championship meetings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macca Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 Good luck to Cookie at Worky next season. Can see him having a good one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Blobby Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 Really disappointed we haven’t brought Craig back. Something I feel we will regret as I think he will bounce back this year and is better number 1 than Pickering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weeyin Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 So glad my fave has a team place, I reckon Craig will be back to his best in 2024 and Workington track will suit him, he has had a couple of difficult years, Hope he has a cracking season even though I am a Glasgow supporter 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fit Cookie is one of best riders in the league. My favourite ever Monarch. Good luck in 2024 Craig and hope you can get back to your best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should ensure you have maximum enjoyment of your season. Good luck Craig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szkocjasid Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 (edited) 3 hours ago, scaramanga said: too much focus on heat leaders teams are more successful with strong reserves and 2nd strings that improve rather than strong heat leader who mins every race but his partner only picks up points if others don't finish race Everyone is raving about Sheffield (weak reserves) but saying Plymouth look terrible (strong reserves). A strong heat leader & a weak reserve still gets a 3-3 against second strings & strong reserves. With less heat leaders available this year, all teams will want to have two, points limit stops you having 3 (except Poole who could have 4). Then improving riders at the bottom end could prove the difference. Edited December 16, 2023 by szkocjasid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 While there is a risk signing Cook. ,but still one of the top Men in the League if he gets his act together,good luck to him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellers101 Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 All depends on which Craig Cook turns up or doesn't as the case may be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
False dawn Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 We all the know (some of) the ifs and buts surrounding Craig. But let's be cheerful and optimistic for him and Workington. Both have come back from the brink and we should celebrate. Good luck to both in 2024. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midget Posted December 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 Cookie is a class signing....... If his heads in the game he is 100% the best rider in the league 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
