Apologies, but are you getting confused with Georgie Wood?

Ignore my ramblings Richard - just seen he rode for them 15 times in 2013 with an ave of 2.4

Welcome back Jake!

I cannot find any average for Jake other than NL so he will presumably make a good 'No 8'  for the eagles

Remember that now... a reserve with damien koppe I believe... must have been around longer than I remember

I couldn't remember which year but I am also a King's Lynn fan, so have followed Jake's career even though I live south of the Thames.

I didn’t realise Knight was so ‘bad’ at second tier level.

It was 8 years ago though to be fair

Also 8 years ago the second tier level was probably as high as the Premiership will be this year, maybe even higher.

Other starting 3 pointers that season included Jacobs, Blackbird, Kerr, Ellis, Nielsen, Morris and Bates so strong reserves although there seems no reason why Knight couldn't have achieved the similar levels as those listed have achieved?

Perhaps money. 

One thing we do know is that Jake Knight will bring dash, excitement to the Seagulls NDL outfit. His big advantage over most is that he entertains -- sadly, he sometimes falls off but that is probably the price to pay. I saw him at Plymouth last September and wow, wow, wow - breathtaking (perhaps even frightening to watch). 

What Jake Knight understands is that speedway is in the entertainment business. And good for him.

Best news ever! Great to have him back at Arlington. They will have to put a bit more shale on to hold him up. 

I take it when Drew is on international duty (like the European U19s), they can use Jake in the Championship team also as a guest as a replacement?

I was thinking that if the rules allow .

Jake fits the criteria for a grade 2 "rising star" so should be able to cover either reserve during the season!
