Even if he starts the season, it's only a matter of time before there's some kind of drama, he'll have to be working with the manager who he let down at Leicester!

That'll be fun

i would say its between slim and no chance of either of those 

And if he does turn up, how much effort will we see?

Sorry to say your gonna need a new rider, he is just not committed no more to speedway but uses his mental health issues at the drop of a hat. 

To be honest if he does have issues as bad as he makes out should he really be riding a speedway bike professionally ?

He has let Leicester down massively today and with the same team manager can not see him riding for him at Berwick. You will be better off without him as even if he did actually turn up for your press day he will let you down this season at some point just like he did at Workington last year.

Knowing Stewart the chances of Craig Cook lining up for Berwick this season are slim to none.

But on the positive side he will have an able replacement sourced or at least identified.

The "Man of Mystery" syndrome strikes again !   At least there's still a decent amount of time to source a reliable replacement.   Better to happen now than later I guess.

Hardly surprising. Guy is a waste of time.

Top rider in his day but those days long gone. Was always going to be some drama with him this year.

Heard a few weeks ago that berwick could not get in touch with Mr Cook regarding size for kevlars, bandits management got in touch with worky and used last year's size. Maybe Craig has put on weight and could not fit into the said kevlars, so on a diet and will return when they fit 😆

Rough being a Berwick fan- first Rory and now cookie.

Have an almost impossible task of finding someone on a similar average to Cook now, and unfortunately their options are very few and far between.

Think MPT would be an awful option for Berwick. Appreciate beggars can't be choosers, but Tofts form round Shielfield is about as bad as it can get.

MPT scored 13+2 in 2017 but since then been nothing startling

Red flag when Workington didn't retain Cookie in conjunction with the two years previous to that with other clubs.

Hopefully Craig can sort himself out in another avenue. I certainly don't take mental health lightly and the affects it can have
