Craig Cook is very good when his mind is on it and i think this season it will be, Ulrich is a worry for both Glasgow and Peterborough after injury but i do think Basso can put two points on his average and Danyon Hume will improve too so in my view Glasgow are serious title contenders. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glasgow have certainly got a very exciting Team and should be entertaining,but the jury is out for me on how good they might be.If the anticipated improvement is made by the youngsters they could be real challengers.We will just have to wait and see though.

I thing Berwick would accept that level of success..... 3 strong heat leaders A tremendous improvement in Ellis Perks (And consequent upon that ) the ability to have Connor Mountain at reserve. Proctor was adequate but clearly a lesser rider than his 2019 Sheffield form or the previous year at Worky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
