Either way, not the first time he's done this. He still turned out for his CL club though, but who knows this time?

They could literally have "The Masked Bandit" on parade and get the thousands on the terraces chanting: Take it Off! Take it Off! Take it Off! And then reveal if it's Craig Cook... Or Rider Replacement for the season. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewart has tried to speak to him on numerous occasions during the last fortnight and has been faced a wall of silence. Which is why i guess Cooks Father spoke to Stewart.

If your team manager is trying to get hold of his number one and he isn't replying to him, surely the only solution is to get rid of him? Regardless of whether replacements are about on not, chances are he will be a no show for Berwick many times this season even if he does say he is starting the season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is true and it turns out that Cook doesnt turn up at the first meeting then all 73 members of the Berwick promotion will deserve every bit of criticism they get. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be pushing it it is a 9 day ban for concussion as he is over 20 which starts today apparently. So he could be ok for Riders Championship on the Sunday 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
