Crusaders RL have recruited their third player from East Yorkshire outfit Hull FC in a matter of weeks as former Great Britain International Gareth Raynor will make the move to Wales, along with Tommy Lee and Jamie Thackray.

The 31-year-old winger was subject to various scandals and court appearances following a number of incidents that took place in 2009. However the winger was released by the black and whites and the Crusaders have pulled out the stops to give him another opportunity.

I am shocked.

given their need for players providing they can get him onto the field it could be a good move by them.

Good look to all of them

Good luck to all 3 of them ..

Pretty sure Crusaders position player wise has forced their hand here.

I'm hearing the trial has concluded.

Thought he pleaded guilty a while back so it didnt go to trial?

My mistake in the wording i used. He got sentenced today to 15 months.

Yup, change the banner till 2012

just caught the end of the sports news. What did they say ?
