Great news

great to have them back, nice to see all the nuggets having digs already but ignore the obsessed... roll on tuesday, come on you ulllllahhhhh

fantsatic news. let's keep our fingers crossed for berro to. can't wait for tuesday.

If we get al three back and firing then mayb we can salvage something out of the 2nd half of the season, what we'd give for Lauaki to be here in te next week too.

Not quite

I for one ,will be glad when Raynor is back.

He will make a lot of Difference wont he.

Will make a different, at least he offloads, more than the rest of the team.

At least he attacks the line at pace too!

Usually in his bloody 20 resulting in a knock on....besides,he has to get the ball to do it and his centre is notorious for being greedy and the scrum half couldnt make a pass at a prozzie.

What scrum half?

And more than almost the rest of SL. Imagine if anyone were alert to the possibility and running onto the ball




Raynors stats over the last 3 seasons and ranking out of all SL players:

[uOffloads[/u
2008 53 (3rd)
2007 60 (1st)
2006 49 (12th)

[uTackle busts[/u
2008 71 (6th)
2007 74 (7th)
2006 71 (5th)

[uRuns from dummy half (ranking excluding hookers)[/u
2008 135 (1st)
2007 155 (1st)
2006 117 (5th)

Clearly he'll bring no attacking impetus to the team when he returns, then





Raynor is one of the hardest working wingers in the game. He's challenged with a centre that doesn't put him away and an absence of a halfback that can create anything for him, hence his more average strike rate. Rather than sulk on the wing he tries to create his own opportunities. Got to be a good thing having him back. And he does have an excellent scoring record v Leeds.

Runf from dummy half, and runs FORWARD from dummy half are quite different.

Stats mean very little, it's what you see during the game.

I see an international class winger who works hard, breaks plenty of tackles and tries to create opportunities for the team. Also one who would score a lot more with the right opportunities created for him.

You see him as an average squad player whose only contribution is running sideways. Let's agree to differ.

Great news to have them both back, both will add a lot to our kick returns and subsequent ptb.

Think you're being a bit harsh.

He's a very good winger, and would probably have a better tryscoring record if he had a more generous centre man next to him.

Sarcasm doesn`t become you.

Another reason why houghton needs to be on the pitch more!

Anyone that doesn't rate Raynor is clearly an imbecile. He's been outstanding for us almost every game he's played. His only problems are his hamstrings/calves, every other aspect of his game is top notch. Out of interest, how do most of you feel he'd have performed in Ade Gardeners position at Saints?

Great news reguarding raynor and tony.Love to see raynor in the squad without a doubt one of fc's best players,wonder if we'll see more kicks for both raynor and calderwood to chase down.Good luck to both.

*cough* Standee *cough*

That happenes about twice a season, but dont let that stop your rant.

We probably would have lost the CC semi final in 2005.

Spot on.
