But with Cook, you can never be sure what he'll do. He will disappear before long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a start his Championship average is above many riders who have higher Premiership averages, such as: Sedgmen, Kerr, King, Worrall, Z Cook, Howarth, Wright & Zischke. So if he can beat them in the Champ, he should be able to beat them in the Prem. Then he showed what he can do on his best day with 16 points at Sheffield. His 2024 average for Oxford & Leicester was 5.40 (from 14 meetings). The reason he has a lower starting average must therefore be due to having low scores in final 6 meetings in 2023, which is not so relevant when judging his form ahead of 2025. I also said "but with Cook, you can never be sure what he'll do" but there's plenty of reasons for Leicester fans to be positive imo Edited November 20 by szkocjasid 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamish McRaker Posted November 20 Report Share Posted November 20 (edited) 2 hours ago, 1 valve said: Why would he score more points at Brum? Over the season he would race against the same opponents be it at Leicester or Brum Because of additional playoff matches possibly ( but by no means certain) more likely with Leicester and the in-season financial situation of Birmingham being slightly more likely to become unstable, if recent statements by the club are anything to judge by + See below Edited November 20 by Hamish McRaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on a match by match basis I believe he would score more heavily at Perry Barr. It is a track better suited to him than Leicester's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ouch Posted Thursday at 08:31 AM Report Share Posted Thursday at 08:31 AM 20 hours ago, TTT said: Assuming the top 5 were locks then surely the first option would've been Antti Vuolas? Sedgmen/Kerr wouldn't fit and Zischke (BV) Only other options that would have fit within the limit are the follwing. Palm Toft (Injury Prone) Mountain (Would've been signed because he's not rumoured for any Prem side) Milik (Not committed) Kemp (Been down that road already) It’s looking like they’ll be no takers for Connor. Only The Aces have offered him any top flight pay since 2022 and unbelievably we get berated for doing so by the trolls. The rest of the lions team looks Ace to me. System working, looking forward to your visits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last two in the list will surely provide some serious bottom end (eye watering) fire power if called upon to deliver, should the established likes of ketchup disappoint on the night. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
