Raynor cleared for Cup Final

Post by butt monkey »

Whether Hull should have been expelled from the Cup or not is debatable. But, Gareth Raynor will not be banned for the match
Raynor was found guilty of a high tackle on Chris Thorman in Sunday's 30-24 Engage Super League home defeat by Huddersfield Giants.

However the Rugby Football League's Disciplinary Committee deemed a one match suspension was sufficient punishment.

Raynor will miss Sunday's league visit to Bradford Bulls but be available for the home match against Harlequins, the week before the final.

It never bothered the RFL to ban Wigan players in the past for such events (Kelvin Skerrett), why has there attitude changed now?

Exactly as it was when long bet against his own club - they made sure the ban would expire in time for him to play in the final. He then whined like a little bitch that he had been treated unfairly.

Pryce's ban for sexual assault occured in the CC semi final - live on BBC1 - yet the ban the RFL gave him meant that he was back for the final.
