Would go along with that.  Discount him at your peril as he had and still is improving with more track time in 2024. 2025 could well see someone get the benefit.

 

Looked fine when I saw him at Redcar.

I wouldn’t be disappointed with that side, if I was a Berwick fan.

Cook’s a great signing. He seemed to have screwed the nut last season, so with a settled season under his belt and a healthy pre-season, we see any any Craig Cook next season; including the best version.

I think Hagon could be a very good signing. He scored well guesting at Shielfield against us in June. I also think Borke has a lot of potential.

Some people fail to understand that riders can actually go away and improve. They see Dayle ride once in his first season over here, see him struggling and immediately write him off forever as if he's never going to come to anything. I hope he flies next season just to prove all of these people wrong.

Settle for that Bandits team.Well done for pulling of Kildeman and Hagon signings.Wood as the 2 pointer was as good as any available wish him well.

Dayle wood was way ahead of the rest at workington in meeting I watched this year 

He looked good enough to replace a few reserves from 2024 

 

That's because you don't need any motorbike skills to ride Worky 🪖

Top scorer at Armadale in the NDL last year, need bike skill to get round there.

So good Edinburgh elected not to have him in their team.

You said doesn’t take bike skill to get round worky, which to get round Armadale you need which you think dayle doesn’t have clearly. Yet averaged more than Coles, Perry and McGurk last year.

I am shocked Dayle Wood still gets employment!

Why?    Let's see......

He started speedway in Oz in 2022.     Admittedly a late beginner, but that's when it was.

In 2023 he came to the UK, a very raw rookie, raced NJL for Edinburgh and averaged 4.50.  

In 2024 he continued at Armadale, improving his average to 7.76. That's a big jump!

With bonus points, this is a better CMA than Ace Pijper, Max Perry, Luke Harrison, Freddy Hodder or the much-vaunted Vinnie Foord.    All of whom have been racing speedway bikes for a lot longer than Dayle Wood.

Were he younger, people would be praising his progress, signalling him as one of the best 2-pointers available to Championship clubs.

And maybe, with Berwick, he will be.........

You are wasting your time replying to him Blobby.

NDL indeed and outscored all the Lion Cubs by some margin in September if memory serves me.

[Noelinho]

I didn't realise Dayle Wood was such a late starter, so fair play in that case - probably is worth a punt.

[BackstaightBandit]

A massive hat tip to the Bandits promotion and to Mr Dickson for getting us out of a sticky situation after it appeared Rory was unable to return.

Cook and Kildemand are rivals to any top 2 in the league and in Borke, Hagon and Kemp we have some exciting talent which is sure to improve.

An exciting season to look forward to for sure and I for one think this team is the business.

My fear is he'll end up at Leicester as Berwick appear to be Leicester Lite

Not entirely the case, but not going into detail on it.

He's doubling with Edinburgh then? As far as I'm aware they're still to announce their 6 and 7. 3 rides for the Monarchs at Armadale last season... nil points

Bit if an arrogant post making assumptions on other people and how often seen him. Seen him plenty as I'm sure have many others. I'm happy to be proven wrong and if he goes on to be the best 2 pointer around best of luck to him. But I wouldn't have wanted him in my team
