Luck with injuries will play a massive part between now and then.... If any of Doyle, cook, barker, Bach, Worrall etc gets injured, then all of a sudden teams are vulnerable home and away against the better sides.
so either you or cook are telling fibbs??
Cook tweeted it was about making coin not spending it???... And he has done 60 meetings and don't need practice.
You are using barker as an excuse for him not riding.. What has his article in the sun got to do with this??( he's not even riding at Workington).... just down the road from home??....
Shooting himself in the foot if you ask me, and you and the other monarch spin merchants are loading the gun for him.
It's his prerogative if he doesn't want to ride, end of story, but I'm sure he doesn't need people like yourself contradicting what he's said why he's not.
