Similar thing happened with Dillon Ruml was developing into a promising your rider but ended up with and average over five and no one seemed prepared to take a chance on him, I think if someone had perservered he could have developed into a seven point plus man at championship level.

More like he got an average of over 5, and then thought he was worth no1 wages.

If cook appears for a full season and his head is in the right place, I think he could challenge for the number 1 position tbh, be nice to watch another 15 point max at Plymouth 😛

That’s what Berwick fans said last season and it still applies.

Anybody think comets were hoping for the points limit to be lifted ?

why Geoff ?, the points limit was set for 3 years at last seasons AGM.

Seems positive from the club on pending signings saying at no point they have struggled to attract riders and that the final pieces arent far away so i think rather then negativity the clubs activity should be looked at with optimism as to giving fans the best side to allow the team be best served for a title challenge. I for one am excited for the pending news.

depends how you look at the payment they get

yes a top rider spends more on his equipment to stay at the top 

but 5 points from a reserve is often a better performance than 10 points from a no1 

so why should points money be so much different for a reserve  or no1 heat leader 

maybe points money should be exactly that a set amount per point regardless of team position just the signing on fee or start money be different  depending on deal done per rider

They weren't going to say any different though, were they?

Dont think they'd come out and say we've struggled, no-one wants to come here, etc.
