Good looking Team on paper so far.

Craig will make us very strong in my opinion a number 1 rider who’s isn’t riding at number 1, this signing gives us a lot of strength and if Tate does what we know he can they are in for a great season with 4 strong riders.

Hope Tate and Cookie are paired together they rode so well together last time 5-1s incoming !

Will cook be at number 5 or at 3 with tate at 4 considering they were brilliant together 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Cook & Zischke together would leave Batchelor at 5, mostly paired with a reserve, so not sure on that.

I'd generally have the 2nd heat leader at 5, especially if he's as good as a number one to give real strength in heat 13 especially.

So far the team looks really decent (as long as Cook starts the season).

Batch at 5 sounds great to me especially if Cookie/Tate can reform their partnership. Batch for 2 seasons has been the backbome of the side and gets knocked for his one off poor performances when over the whole he held the side together. This is looking one exciting team 🤩

might even see batch at 5 at home and cookie at 5 away

Delighted to see Cook back this season.

I’ve been critical of some instances involving him in the past, but a British speedway without Craig Cook is a sadder, less entertaining and lower in quality place.

Really strong side being built at Northside.

I'd rather it the other way around. Cookie at home was very good two seasons ago. Batch is so much better away than he is at home

The fact that Cookie has been given yet another opportunity to ride is a reflection on the short fall of riders willing to race in this country. Whilst I hope he can ‘find himself’ next season for the benefit of Worky and UK speedway, the Comet’s promotion should already be looking at eligible replacements on his average in readiness for the inevitable.
