If it was, it means Hook's first season is even more impressive than Leibmann's. With the weaker leagues, you'd expect riders to put a little in their average each season, but Hook's done more than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will certainly be much stronger at reserve. Not sure if say the team is stronger than this years with Cook & Vissing, replaced by Bowes & Etheridge in the top 5, I don't think the increased reserve strength cancels that out. But the league is weaker than last year, with play-off rivals Poole Oxford & Scunthorpe all weakening, so that's not a dig at the Workington team. I think Craig Cook and Paul Stark will be missed. Vissing has never turned in the performances I was expecting unfortunately I think he is probably bound for Edinburgh, although Poole and Plymouth arent complete yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woke23 Posted 10 hours ago Report Share Posted 10 hours ago So Mr.Baines has stated the departure of Cookie was purely down to numbers. However, cookie, with his reduction, would've fit in the team over Batch. Therefore, they have decided to choose Batch over Cook. I think having Batch at number 1 puts us in a position where we have one of the worst number 1s in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You aren't one those folk who were spitting their dummies out on social media when they announced Cook wasn't coming back were you! 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaddlebowRoad Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago i mean its a fair question perhaps the extra stuff that comes with cook topped the balance in batch's favour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a supporter view point Craig appeared to let the club and himself down toward the back end of the season. Not turning up at Redcar apparently without notice isn't what fans and management expected from the skipper. It's a shame because everyone loves a local hero to get behind and that was Cookie.
