Cook can only score 15 a meeting (without R/R or TS etc.). 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should be fine at home, could see a few doings away right enough. I would not of went for a team with Cookie. Nick Morris or Stevie Worral would of been my choice to give us more strength at the bottom end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That team would give us three passengers and a top four. Got to agree about having Steve Worrall at the top of the order rather than Cook, if thats the plan. For the first half of last season we got little from the top or bottom of the team, Cook would solve one of those though a decent No 6 could offer flexibility in any heat and for up to 7 rides which is where we have suffered in recent years.

I thought Sarj would of done well last year, he showed in glimpses at the end of the season what he can do. The gating issue still remains. I am sure riding with Cookie would boost him though. Fully agree, a decent reserve can make a team. Remember Nick's performances in 2011? Will need to see who other teams snap up at reserve. I would of liked Tom Brennan up here but he is based down south. Time will tell, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Time will tell, I think the problem is that most years the opinion is Sarj will do well and year on year he fails to deliver. In reality he is now blocking up team places that someone else could benefit from. Brennan is certainly a prospect and couldn't be more nailed on at Eastbourne if Jon Cook was a carpenter. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eh? They had Kyle Bickley (a 2 pointer all season) at reserve and won the treble! Unless I'm reading what you are trying to say wrong?! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tigerforever 86 Posted December 3, 2018 Surprised at this announcement considering travel apparently was a big problem, under 6 point average and should go up in a much weaker league, he’s so much better than that! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
