Bradford Bulls have terminated the contract of winger Gareth Raynor for "a severe breach of club discipline".

The 33-year-old has left the club with immediate effect and the Bulls say they will be making no further comment.

Raynor joined the Bulls in September last year after being released from jail for his part in an internet scam.

The former Great Britain international made 18 appearances for Bradford Bulls in Super League this season, scoring four tries.

Raynor spent the first part of the 2010 season with Crusaders before being jailed for nine months in May that year for counterfeiting charges relating to imported printer ink cartridges plus a further six months, suspended, for common assault.


cant see any league club taking him on at 33 now

My money's on Widnes

Stuart Duffy's fax machine is playing up.

He had to pay the price.

My money's on prison...

Is there a difference?

If he avoids jail I would have thought Wakie or Widness would pick him up. Ah Van and Raynor on the wings for Widness next year...

Did he get a confiscation order as part of his sentence for the cartridge scam?

If he did and he hasn't been able to repay it, he may be facing another spell in HMP.

He was ordered to pay back £120k or face another stint in jail. It seems a bit odd to mention 'a breach of club discipline' if this was the actual reason for terminating his contract.

He would save money to go to jail.

I think he should be banned from Rugby league all together.

There's always someone on here willing just to take things too far.

That bus is never late.

If we were to ban people from the sport for being stupid, there wouldn't be many people left playing, or even watching.

Love the last three words and it's basically true.

Instead of cluttering jails up they should have just made him stay at the dulls as the public ridicule playing for them jokers would deter him from any future wrongdoings.

Perhaps Bradford's new kit next year could be some sort of orange boiler suit arrangement?

He will still be liable to pay the money the jail term is for failure to pay.

Same as compensation years ago if you owed say £1000 compensation and refused to pay you would get maybe 28 days and serve half in leu of the £1000 it was the same for fines but they changed it maybe 10yr ago so as far as i know he will still have to pay

Quite possibly...although that public ridicule is nothing to that which you guys received when our bunch of joker donkeys contrived to beat you on your own midden earlier this year...?

After some of the pathetic displays this season, I reckon our lot should have been made to play in that THIS season. Could hardly have made things any worse (except maybe at Headingley...

)

playing leeds is your cup final and the nearest you will get to one in quite some time.

Don't stand for that Adey.

No intention of doing so.

My Seconds will be waiting upon him at his earliest convenience.

It's an interesting marketing ploy - enabling your customers to spend more money on shirts too small for them and giant foam hands by not inconveniencing them with regular, expensive trips to major finals.

Getting to Cup finals in particular and then habitually losing them does tend to impact on the willingness of your supporter base to keep coming back, as Leeds found to their cost this August. How many tickets was it that went back again?

It not how you start the race it's how you finish it that counts.

...and we're still running.

Keep biting, chaps...
