We'd have to go back to 42.50 team average as it'll be 2 changes as like for like isn't permitted with 2 or more changes at once. 10.39 available for changes. In comes Cook on 7.00 and Drew Kemp on 3.19. That way it'll really pee off both Peterborough and Ipswich Kemp wont drop his Kent commitments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
therefused 815 Posted May 23, 2019 5 minutes ago, WalterPlinge said: Where's 7.00 coming from? Surely Cook finished last season on 7.73 so with his 2.5% British deduction he is on 7.54 ? His current Championship average 10.51 would convert to 7.01, but while he has a current PL average that surely has to be used Im not sure of the rules but i think it is because he hasnt started in the premiership this season it is now converted? Ridiculous if so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His average from last season is now irrelevant because he didn’t start the season in the top flight (well he didn’t get to ride for the team he was named in). So yes it’s 7.01. And I echo the above statement. It’s ridiculous. Edited May 23, 2019 by stevebrum 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted May 23, 2019 What's ridiculous is Cook isn't signing for Ipswich to replace the hapless Harris. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That way it'll really pee off both Peterborough and Ipswich If indeed Cook is on a 7pt average,on June 1st our team average falls well below 42.50 and you can put him in as a straight swap for Proctor.And this should leave around 4.48 to replace Kasper.Thats how i read it anyway.Cook on a 7 pointer is a no brainer in my eyes,absolute steal on that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It all depends on who is wielding the chequebook and if there any "afters" from the "sponsorship rights" affair. Either it was all nonsense what we were told about no Cook at Pboro or someone has backed down, but if it happens it's a win-win really. One gets a job and the other get's the job done.

g13webb 4,254 Posted May 24, 2019 No doubting the pedigree that Cook brings to the table . He is the second heat leader we have been wanting, since the team was first announced. Probably now there will be someone who can take some pressure off Lambert and also compete for that coveted No 1 race jacket. Wouldn't it have been far better had he came without all the mystery of his Panthers departure. There will always be suggestion of rider manipulations when someone, like Buster, has his hands in so many pies. Cant help thinking the rules have been conveniently changed to accommodate this happening. If that is the case then it will leave a nasty taste in everyone's mouth... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cook saying he's had a phone call and the club saying a new signing after Monday is pretty much a done deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
