Releasing Raynor will fast track some of the young prospects into the first team squad. He's been a quality player for us, but has been injured so frequently in previous seasons that players like Tom Briscoe have been given their chance, and have grasped it with both hands. Jack Briscoe, Reece Lynn et al are the new breed, and by all accounts are very close to the first team. Lynn in particular will be a star, and opposition coaches already know about him and believe he should be in the first team set up at the club. Raynor leaving will speed up these young player's development and, in a years time, we'll look back at this and be thankful for the opportunity that has been presented to Lynn, Briscoe etc.Thanks for everything you've done Raynor, you've been a brilliant player for us. Now it's time for the future to be just as good, if not better.
off field issues aside, Raynor will go down as one of the best wingers ever to have wore the black n white his stats show that and with a decent centre who could pass who knows what he could have achieved. Thanks and good luck.
