Thought it deserved its own thread, Raynor charged with a Grade B Dangerous contact with the head or neck of an opponent.

I'm gonna go for, sending off sufficient and give him benefit of doubt he was going for the ball.

no way , its surely got to be a ban

I think he'll be banned. The RFL love Leeds and are lenient, so by definition, you would think they'll be harsh on Bradford.

If you want to know whether Raynor meant injure Sam, however, watch the replay and look at Raynor's fist.

I said watching the game that his only defence was that he was trying to stop the try being scored but I can't help feeling that his hand was so far away from the ball and at that speed to catch him right on the button doesn't look good for him. I agree with sending off sufficient maybe 1 game but he will be getting off lightly at that.

Just my opinion of course, you are allowed one on here aren't you??

Wouldn't really disagree with that I'm just trying to think how the RFL think.

It would indicate he had intent. Then again, if one is to dislodged the ball, then a closed fist is going to be required is it not?

You wouldn't go with a fist to try and get the ball out... he should get a ban.

if he gets less than 3 matches it will be disgraceful

So what else could he do?

Have an open palm and try to slap the ball out?

i find it astounding some people are actualy defending Raynor.

Do you mean like platt went in with the first to stop you scoring the first try 2 minutes into the game?

Grabe B guideline as 1-2 games if found guilty, so you're likely to find the outcome disgraceful.

well thats the RFL for you

Not really. You're more likely to try and grab the arm of the ball-carrying player and pull it away from his body, particularly if - as Raynor was - you're on the same side that the ball is being carried.
