RedcarRacer 228 Posted November 27, 2017 Barker, JBA, Bukhave and Banford - three assets, a decent start - would allow for some other big hitters. Would be disappointed not to get Wright back - would love us to take a gamble on Broc Nicol, but suspect others with bigger pockets are in for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boz 315 Posted November 27, 2017 Would not mind a gamble on one of the young Americans, signs pointing to Mikkel B Anderson as well maybe. Had forgot about Branford and not a bad shout. Seems like Perks still looking for a team which is a bit of a shame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
damien76 0 Posted November 27, 2017 Would rather have perks over Branford. Branford is no better now than when he first came over here imo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boz 315 Posted November 28, 2017 I would guess a seven as he rides top league in Denmark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Junior That's correct - the same night that our No 1 and 2 reserves managed 11 points between the 3 of them! Branford scored 12 points IIRC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hasnt rob retired, sold up and gone back to Australia? Sure he done that mid way through this season Edited November 30, 2017 by BenR195 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve55 340 Posted November 30, 2017 That was to allow a leg injury time to heal, at the time both his clubs indicated that they'd be having him back, we shall see. Thought it was his shoulder that was injured, he had one or two decent meetings for Sheffield early in the season and looked like he was going to be a good signing, then he started going backwards during races after making good/reasonable gates, most likely down to the injury he was carrying. Can't say anything about his form for Rye House as I didn't see any of the meetings. If he were to return to Sheffield and show his early season form again, don't think I'd have any problem with him being in our 1 to 7. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RedcarRacer 228 Posted December 1, 2017 One name hasnt been mentioned but who rides the STMP really well, Kevin Wolbert - would happily take him, especially if we don't get - as we suspect - Charles Wright back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
