Shed loads of guest appearances notibly for P/biro and Sheffield amongst others Still only 18 and having the pressure of being No1 not only for the Rebels but also in his guest appearances , just an observation anyway.

Great 7 points for the Rebels at the weekend has put us right back in the frame for second position in the table. Having already turned over the Panthers at the Showground in March we must be in with a shout again. Home form is a bit patchy at the moment but this weekends showing must have given the whole club and supporters a lift. I`m not sure what the crack is with guest appearances is, but if the club have a say, I think young Brady needs to cut back a bit now. He appears to have dropped a bit from earlier on in the season and maybe his hectic schedule is catching him up a bit. We certainly need him on the top of his game for the play offs. Very pleased that Josh had a good meeting at Glasgow after his trials and tribulations, looking forward to him leading from the front. With Charles, Paul and also Ritchie amongst the points again and Rasmus back as well things looking brighter for the team. I think I`ve managed to sneak Bank Holiday Monday off so if my petal does not manacle me to the house I shall get myself up the A1 at 3 for the match. COYR. OMG off topic I know, just read the awful news about Darcy Ward, please God let him be ok , get well soon son.

Another match winning show from Paul Starke at reserve.

No Rasmus or Josh today , so a Tigers win on the cards.

Didn't really expect anything tonight at the home of the champions, and got nothing. Onwards and eupwards at Berwick tomorrow hope Josh is ok after his spill.

Gutsy win for the Rebels, clearly still not quite on it, I shall be interested to hear from my friends who were there to get the inside story, looks like King is ok after what sounded like a nasty moment.

No, Ritchie does tend to improve as the meeting progresses, you need your top boys at the end, bit much to ask Jensen to slot in there I think on his debut. If it goes pear shaped for Ritchie again, then I think it is inevitable.

I think we shouldn`t read too much into the Edinburgh result tbh, four Monarchs were definitely on it big time that night, they had the top rider in the division in 6 races, an ex Rebel who knows the quickest way round, a new lad who rode out of his skin ( bet he does not match that show again this season) and of course our old mate Sammy directing operations from the pits. For the Rebels only three turned up as well, Starky, Wrighty and Josh. It has been pointed out that it is the only time Brady has not won a race , really can`t see that happening again. Jensen coming in is a wake up call to Ritchie, Northern tour is crucial to him I think, but an 8 would be handy tomorrow. Between 10 an 12 for me too Coomie.

This is definitely an area where he needs to improve, can be very suss at starts, if he can sort himself out in this direction I think he could surprise some of the big guns in the PLRC in September. I think if he chooses to do another season with Somerset and doubles up it will be the best way forward for him. I don`t think he is quite ready for the big move up next term.

Live about 10 and on tv 3, I think certainly more than once, and on the Somerset boxed sets loads. How about yourself ? Re run do a great DVD of all The Rebels matches.

Don`t agree with this at all, but sort of says it all with the "only seen Brady ride live once" reference. If you get an opportunity watch heat 13 Rebels v Rye absolute classic where all four riders are unbelievable. I think apart from Edinburgh and Newcastle every other Prem team would love to have Brady as their No 1. It`s quite amazing how much stick this 18 year old takes on here sometimes. Leigh has done a great job coming in at the last minute for the Rebels and good luck to him in the future.

Drew 45 all in the away fixture I believe.

Top post.

The Ippo match is at the OTA

Off course not, just an example I thought most people would understand. Hence the lol reference.

What about if Wolbert started showing Glasgow form at the squeaky bum time

Your a bit obsessed with this cheque book business Lewy don`t know why. Lots of mega money for Starke, Greenwood, Lanham and Wright wouldn`t think so. the three heat leaders will be on more I should imagine and rightly so. You need top riders to win things and we are sticking with ours. The experience thing is a valid point but not if he himself is struggling a bit. This is not a dig at Leigh either because if yo look at some of my previous posts you will see I have supported him. I wonder how much Cook, Masters , Sedgy and Wolbert are costing Edinburgh, I`d guess more than our top 4. If any of them were not doing the business at this stage of the season Im sure the promotion would look for a change. Have too agree they look very strong favourites now.

You know who it is then ? nothing on the Rebels site yet.

Why are they a comic duo ???? Somerset have done rather well with these two at the helm. Leigh and most other riders understand its a results game, and if the management feel a change is necessary so be it. Try telling Alex Ferguson who too put in his team, "Don`t play Keane this week Alex he`s not very nice" . Glasgow kiss now approaching lol

Don`t think Leigh or Brady have let the Rebels down, both have improved their averages, to the tune of about two points. Brady sits about 6th in the Prem avarages I think, and Leigh`s starting average was dragged down by bad injuries last season. I agree that he is unlucky to be going, and Ritchie I should imagine had been sweating. Gary has a good record in tweaking the team if he has too, famously bringing in Charles Wright for Stefan Neilsen in 2013 and going for JPM instead of Masters in 2012, when Sam wasn`t really on it. No complaints though from Leigh on Twitter, hope he gets fixed up asap. TBH havent a clue who they will bring in though.

Can`t believe nobody's started this one off so here goes. Close match, good chance for the Monarchs who are really on it at the moment, good opportunity for the Rebels too put some indifferent results behind them, although the Worky result was great. Could go either way.

There you are Lewy still enjoying your fine results from the other week, have you forgotten Somerset did the double over Plymouth a couple of weeks earlier in the cup ? Not sure who we could bring in to replace Leigh to be honest, but on current averages anyone from the Devils team. Also nice to see Todd and Kyle are banging in some good scores, I think with Todd at reserve you have a good chance of making the play offs, which will be good for the south coast.

Thanks for keeping me up to speed Coomie,just thought it sounded a bit harsh on him, as I pointed out in an earlier post his average of 6.73 would make him No1 for Plymouth according to the latest green sheets, I think we can settle for that from our 5th highest, and a paid max as well.

Has Kyle made a statement about the accident, or put any blame on his friend Josh. I should imagine Josh is feeling pretty down about the last week in general. Before these incidents I cannot recall any major reports or accusations towards Josh in this respect. The speedway season is full of should he shouldn`t he incidents, most of them are split second decisions with the adrenaline pumping. Truly there are a few riders names who crop up more often than others but in 40 years are watching speedway I do not believe anyone wants to hurt anyone else. Brady Kurtz is an outstanding talent, he is also 18 years old and carries the weight of being the Rebels No 1, he will make wrong decisions occasionally, like he did last season against Newcastle with the match comfortably won and having already scored a max went chasing after Ritchie Worrall and ended up in the fence with a broken arm, finished his season and may have cost us the title. Leigh Lanham has put two points on his average, enough said.
