HKR had a load playing in the Saints reserves too. Might have been last season.

Hope that doesn't mean Egodo is finished for the year then

Kear said he's having a scan on his knee and ankle for hidden damage, but is confident he'll be fit for play-offs which would be a huge boost for us. Been one of best players last few weeks.

Well, not quite. The pricipal of "guest riders" has been in speedway for years, whenever the odd injury pops up, though they insist that the "guest" mustn't be better (working on an average of points scored) than the rider being replaced. Not sure how we could work that into RL!

I like Dockey Clay. A good hooker.

I have a memory of him playing for York in Toronto on Premier Sports last season. I seem to remember he played very well, although I've slept a few times since then so I could be confusing him with someone else.

He scored a hat trick in that match. Finished as York's joint top scorer last season, while at York his try scoring feats were pretty incredible, always seemed to finish half chances, good support play. However his defence and positioning under the high ball needed a lot of work.

I believe the reason he didn't stay at York was because the coach expects players to train 3 times a week and apparently he struggled with that. I guess when you're a part time player it's difficult to commit to so many training sessions a week but the club set the bar high.

Ironically in the 2 York-Hunslet matches this season I thought his defence and catching had really improved yet he looked to have lost half a yard of pace and didn't look anywhere near as dangerous near the try line.

Best of luck anyway DFJ!

Wow that would come as a surprise with him being homegrown and it being a real breakthrough year for Brandon. Kears raved about him all year.

If he does sign for Fev, I hope he's given time to develop to be your number 1 over time. He's still young and developing as a player.

He's gotten better and better with each game. So much so that i think a fair few would select him over Greg Mcnally who's still a top end championship full-back.
