Everyone has their own opinion but I class Raleigh in the top three for his defence and we defend for 40 minutes. Don't forget the big game we lost against St Helens last season when we couldn't withstand their onslaught on our line, Raleigh wasn't playing in that game. Just my opinion!

i think raleigh will have to have a massive season to get another contract, being a good lad and from huddersfield are in his favour though!

not his fault he had to go to prop, but hes not impressed at all in that position and gone backwards,also hampered by injuries.

Raleigh signed a new 3 year deal with us last season.

You keep saying this but his stats for season 2009 and 2010 are pretty much identical. www.superleague.co.uk/statistics ... eason=2010 Except he missed 8 more tackles. Then again he made fewer errors and gave away fewer penalties. That would suggest he is playing fairly consistently. They also compare well with 2008: www.superleague.co.uk/statistics ... eason=2010 When he played 50% more games. And also with 2007: www.superleague.co.uk/statistics ... eason=2010

Raleigh got players or coaches POTY in 2008 also didn't he? He's had a bad year last year with injuries but is a good, solid player with an all-round game. He is also just about in his pomp now at 29-30.

well hes 100% fit now so lets see him play..... thing is he brown hasnt put him in... clearly rates horne and patrick ahead of him.

i hope he does get in the team and play like he was in 2007 but i stand by what i say that hes not a prop, he only went to that position because we couldnt keep hold of sculthorpe who got a better offer from bradford.
