Well I am not really convinced it does for me, as his recall suggested (assuming everything posted previously on this thread was either true and posted in good faith) that it was either for a punch up whilst out on licence or he was beaten up by his old cronies whilst out. Had he say gone out robbing the elderly again i might be inclined to say yes and that there shoud be no 2nd chance.    re your 2nd point agreed we should always be preared to say to someones face what we either say behind their back or when they are not present.

Didn’t someone say Brennan was Sheffield bound? @PhilTheAce I think??

Just also like to add that there's still a chance Hook returns, unless he's signed elsewhere. The longer the signing drought goes on, the more plausible it is that we havent signed our full team yet.

I also find it baffling but zischke has been amongst the main body of the team for 2 seasons. Hook excelled at reserve and beat some good riders over the course of the season. However, when he guested in the main body of other teams, he was poor. Thats not to say Hook wouldn't have been good in the main body over time, but I partially understand the hesitation from the promotion.  Still believe he deserved a chance after his performances last season. I remember him rounding Chris Harris at Northside. 

I'm sorry this comment is laughable, talk about knee jerk reactions 😂 Let's just forget about the other meetings he's raced while back home then, in some stronger fields I must add. We all like Jacob Hook, but think anyone who watches Speedway knows who the more exciting / faster / talented / rider is.

If Ippo do run in 2026, they coudl have a top two of Woofy and Lidsley, both of whom seem to be unattached at the moment.
