They are what they are by definition Agreed, Cook could easily stick a point on his average without my effort IMO. If his heads in the game all season (I hope it is) he could easily be around the 6.50-7.00 mark. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's been one of the worlds best at defending a lead for a long time. If he had Leicester as a home track he could easily put a point on his average. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Happy Hunter 370 Posted December 9, 2022 When I say consistent I don't mean someone who will come out and beat the best one meeting and then get nothing the next! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't really remember any specific performances but I do remember him riding like a heat leader one week and then a reserve the next... you never really knew what you were going to get. Didn't he go on to be a successful engine tuner under the guise of Finn Rune Jensen? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has had to become an expert at defending his position because he's painfully slow nowadays. Saw him at Peterborough a few times and it was sad to see him fall away so much 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
