Zischke has been great so far in Aus other than today. He had bike issues first 3 heats and then after that scored 2, 2 on his second bike

Tate had a bad day with bike issues but had otherwise been very good in Aus. Worry about your own Aussie who was doing awful and resorted to faking an injury to save himself embarrassment

So are the Cookie rumours just rumours?

Im not worried, just bored of waiting now. Every team bar us and Scunny have most if not all of their team

Another good performance put in by our boy Tate. Hoping this season he pushes on

I cant comment on this. Seen it live but they didnt show a replay. Just looked like an unfortunate racing collision. Tate was going on the outside of him and they unfortunately got tangled up

I could be wrong but im not so sure about the broken collarbone. I watched it and after the collision he was on camera in the pits undressing himself, taking his protective vest off, etc. I dont think youd be in any position to do that with a broken collarbone. Could be wrong though.

Very good performance by our Tate in the Phil Crump Comp finishing 4th behind Lidsey, Becker and Tungate. Some very good riding throughout and was involved in an unfortunate collision with Bowes, leading to Bowes exclusion.

Shame it was the only news. They must be struggling with the rider situation or we would have had announcements by now.

Don't ever suggest Heeps again.

I'd also be surprised with the Cookie signing, especially with how it ended last time. I wouldn't be against it though as he is a good rider and with Jeppesen and Batch, it makes a decent set of heat leaders. Add to that Zischke and we have a decent 4 out of 5. I wouldn't like Max Perry as I feel like he's another Sam Mcgurk. He won't score many at reserve and probably won't get out the 2 points.

If cookie has signed on 7.99, then this so called Danish rider you quoted as being on "7.8", would never have fit.

I have to disagree. He was awful last season

I personally think he's one of the most inexperienced no.1s in the league and may be one of the worst next season.

Agreed. Im bored of waiting now. Im going to purchase a season ticket regardless of the last signings but im still waiting for them to be announced before I do.

You may have misunderstood what he actually said. He said if it goes to one league and Sheffield are competing in that league he'd only ride for them

He done well the first time riding at Poole and absolutely shocking the second time. Bowes isn't as good as some here think. He had 2 or 3 very good home performances but other than that, he was awful. I watched him at Edinburgh and the guy looked like he'd never rode a bike before

It is but it could also pay off. Hes a good rider still and he will 100% exceed an average of 8. Suppose it depends on his head and if he can stick to it for a season

Drew Kemp hasn't been signed yet and I think he can only fit in to Workington, Edinburgh, and Scunthorpe now. Although I do believe he's riding in Poland, isn't he? That would make Scunny the likely option.

Where's the cook rumour came from?

Well, you now have a rejuvenated Jye returning to yous. I strongly believe hes a good addition to your team and he'll most definitely cause an upset when he returns to us (northside)

I wouldn't be against having Cook back for another go but there's been a common theme over the past few years with Cookie. If he wasnt a local lad, id stay far far away, but he is, and I have a soft spot for him.

Do they round up or down? Makes all the difference

He was also leading until he made a mistake and let Beau and James through

Troy, other than the start of the season in the KO comps, has been decent. He, on countless occasions, has made embarrassing results less embarrassing. This season he disappointed at redcar but the season before he was phenomenal there, beating both King and Wright. This season he was good at Plymouth, Oxford, Scunthorpe, Edinburgh and Glasgow.
