Never say never, but there are a few obvious stumbling blocks: The looming court case; his fitness or lack thereof; it isn't an area of the team that is regarded as a priority for strengthening even after the departure of Fitzhenry; whether Rovers' budget could stretch to it.

A year or two ago 'rumours of Raynor Hull KR' would have been exciting. Now I'd be pretty ambivalent. If we get injuries in the backs and he is available and fit after April then maybe, but only maybe.

I doubt they could afford to pay him anything like the £90k he was on at Hull.

I also doubt anyone would sign him without knowing whether he was going to be available after April.

He'd be easy to tackle with a tag on his leg. Trips to Catalans would be a no-no too.

Was wondering where this whole Raynor thing was going to go, but I think it's for the best for the club. We are aiming to start a fresh with players, coaching staff and attitude from this season on, and to play a winger who has criminal history would go against all of this.

Despite this, I am sad to see it has turned out on a sour note. He has been a great player for us, when the times have been good and bad, and when fit he has shown international talent.

I think this is a good time for Hally, Brisc and Co. to show their true worth with starting places in the team.

Sad to see him go

You have been a great servent Gaz, good luck for the futre.

Hopefully gives a chance for Lynne to get a few games under his belt if there is any injuries.

Gaz & Cat got greedy, simple as. I posted this last week but it got removed for some reason. He knows he will go down, Cat should get away with , but been a bad lad in the off season hasn't helped him at all. There is much more to thos story yet , and much more will come out .

You'd think these players would learn and realise how good they have it already wouldnt you Normy

Re: Raynor??? : Sat Dec 19, 2009 9:37 am  

Just found out am very shocked with this news, saying that if he is injured and with the court case coming in does make sense from a Hull persepctive and Raynors (as Hull could have sacked him in April in he went down).

Looking a bit thin on outside backs though, lerts hope for a bit of luck, i think we will see Jack Briscoe on the wing before Tuffour.

I really wish Raynor the best of luck, he has been a great winger for Hull, one of the best finishers ever in, superd defender with great strenght and good offload.

All the best Gareth.

Tis a real shame that Raynor has left the club in this manner. However, he has only himself to blame! Scored some good tries for Hull, but now I will be looking forward to seeing the youngsters grab their chance.
