Some of the "close Range" tries he has scored over the years have being insane. He's a quality finisher and more often then not comes up with the goods.

As "people", who are these people? I for one have my own set of eyes and I'm capable of making my own mind up. Frankly suggesting others have an opinion simply because its suggested to them, is somewhat insulting.

Only insulting if you chose to take it that way, Raynor is a solid, average winger (imho), the fact he is one of the best British wingers says more about the lack of development in that position than his abilities (again, imvho)

Your opinion is not valid, it was clearly suggested to you by other people.

These people being...?

I basically see it as Raynor, Briscoe and G.Horne competing for 2 slots, i also think that raynor has a very good understanding with yeaman. His try scoring record is irrelevant when you consider how many tries yeaman has scored over the last 3 years (42 in sl i think) i prefer to think of the centre and winger as a strike partnership. so it's horne or briscoe at right centre for me, and how do you leave tom out? although he should be rested now and again to prevent burnout. all imo of course.

being a great player for us considering where his career was at when he arrived at Hull and fully justified his selection for international honours.

He has 30 tries in his last 66 super league appearances, i'm sorry but that's not too shabby imo. Don't really see how you can argue with his sideways running. He runs along the line looking for a little gap and how many times has he made a half break through doing this? also runs the ball well from dummy half allowing the forwards a break. Don't really see what else he can do for the team .

Spot on. That tackle on Fa'afili was unbelievable. Over his 8 year career with FC, he's been the best British player we've had. IMO.

Better than Horne?
