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! 🤣 I didn't say anything about spitting my dummy out, did I? I think Cook would've been the better number 1 but the point of my post was to spark a debate amongst us all on why they went with Batch over Cookie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh, I agree with that. Troy was there in the tough moments when we had very little team members left. Cookie put us in the rubbish at redcar and other occasions. However, I hope the old Troy doesn't appear this season. It could very well put us in a position with a poor number 1. Alternatively, he might prove us wrong and be a very good choice. Just want the season to start asap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neila Posted Sunday at 08:04 PM Author Report Share Posted Sunday at 08:04 PM Mr Cook went missing either on track like at poole, after being brilliant the nite before at Plymouth, was totally missing at Redcar, and missed the key meetings towards the end of the season, may or may not had a good excuse being a new dad or injured, but appears to go missing most seasons these days, but on his day can be excellent. Batch last season was way better than expected, whether this coming season is the same, let's wait and see 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a bad rep and hopefully he's turned that around. As for cookie, I was excited to see him this season because he promised a good pre-season and to come back better than ever. What I've seen on his social media, he seems to be doing a lot more that will benefit him this preseason than he did last season where he was rumoured to have done nothing at all.

Firestone1 Posted 20 hours ago Report Share Posted 20 hours ago Sensible decision if he's not 100%, gives him more time to prepare for the season for us and Belle Vue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted 19 hours ago Report Share Posted 19 hours ago I thought Andrew Bain explained the Cook situation well, commenting that they wanted a stronger reserve pairing, certainly after last year can't disagree with that policy. Doesn't change the Cook vs Batchelor debate, come October we can judge if they got it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have had the exact same team with Cookie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I think they would take anyone over who they've currently got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
