00000 1,279 Posted March 30, 2017 Bad news for Adam Extance. I am very sorry for the rider. He was well recommended by people "in the know". I trust Connor Dugard implicitly to find a replacement. He will have worked his socks off on this one. The news has given the club some publicity via the BBC and other outlets, which can't be bad. Past experience and the public comments I have seen from Paul Goldsmith of IT First and Martin Dugard tells me all is well. The name will come in all good time.

gazzac 1,015 Posted March 30, 2017 Surely Harland Cook is the most obvious choice? If he definitely isn't riding for the IOW ( did that get resolved one way or the other?) I think you could be right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gazzac 1,015 Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) He's not riding for the Warriors unfortunately. Sorry to ask Islander, but what was the last reassessed average he was given? Edited March 30, 2017 by gazzac Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Islander15 1,065 Posted March 30, 2017 Sorry to ask Islander, but what was the last reassessed average he was given? It's fine. Morrish is insisting on using his 4.14 from about 2006ish when he rode for Sittingbourne. Despite him being declared as a 3.00 at Bournemouth in 2010 and 3 riders all being given 3.50 reassessments last season when they'd been out of racing for a similar length of time to Cook.

Many thanks, it does look he'll be most likely of any remaining riders but would go into the main body of the team but I suppose no more a risk than Adam was . Don't think Connor will want to change the team wholesale to get a big hitter in as wanted a balanced team from the outset. Having said that if they're not performing in the first month or so don't think he'd shy away from it then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feel sorry for the Warriors situation but I expect Eastbourne is probably the only other club he might change his mind for. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
