Time running out for Raynor

Time is running out this season for wing ace Gareth Raynor and he knows it.

The Great Britain star is desperate not just to face Warrington Wolves at the KC Stadium on Sunday (3:15pm), but also score.

Why? The problem is, Raynor, who has an excellent strike rate of tries per game, faces the embarrassment of going through the entire season without scoring a try on his home ground.

The 29-year-old, who recently signed a new three year deal with the club, sheepishly revealed this week, "Do you know I haven't scored at the KC this season, how embarrassing is that."

In fact, it is even worse because it is over a year since the classy Raynor last crossed the whitewash at the KC.

It was on August 4, 2006 when he scored two tries against his old club Leeds Rhinos in a 23-16 victory.

After Sunday's game, Hull only have two more home Super League matches left, against Hull KR on September 2 and the final league game of the season when they take on Bradford Bulls on September 14.

If they finish in the top four they will get a home play off tie but Raynor is not taking anything for granted.

Since he injured ankle ligaments against Catalans in Perpignan, Raynor has missed Hull's last two games, one was the home match against Salford, and he added: "I don't want to miss anymore if I'm going to get this try, do I.

"If I don't play on Sunday we only have two games left at the KC, so playing this weekend is important and not just that it will give me a chance to score but also for the team.

"The scoring bit is personal but on a broader picture I want to be back playing and help secure a top four place, which I am confident we are capable of getting.

"We're playing better and we're more confident but this weekend is going to be tough because Warrington is in great form and they are coming having won their last four games.

"It is important we carry the form we have shown recently into this game because a win over them would make a big difference to our chances."

Raynor has been working out with his centre partner Kirk Yeaman who could also return at the weekend after damaging his ankle in France. Gareth admits his ankle isn't perfect but added: "Although my ankle is still a bit sore it is improving all the time and it just needs strapping. I haven't done much running but I'll step that up in the next few days.

"I desperately want to play and I feel it is important for the team, especially with Singy (Matt Sing) being out."

RAYNOR STATS:

2007 season: Appearances 20, tries 5, goals 0, drop goals 0, points 20

Appearances: 152, tries 84, goals 0, drop goals 0, points 336

Average tries per game: He has scored a try every 1.81 games

Four Hull FC Internationals could be back

Hull FC coach Peter Sharp could have four internationals back for Sunday's crucial top four encounter with Warrington Wolves at the KC Stadium.

Great Britain stars Gareth Raynor, Garreth Carvell and Kirk Yeaman, plus England ace Shaun Briscoe are all in contention to comeback after injury.

It is not all good news because Australian Test winger Matt Sing is almost certain to miss out after aggravating the foot injury he has been carrying for the last couple of games.

Sharp admitted having this quartet back would be a major lift for his side, and said: "It would be a massive boost to have all four back. I think Carvell and Raynor are almost certain to play, I expect Briscoe to come into contention and I haven't ruled out Yeaman.

"We'll see how things go throughout the week but right now the signs are good on this front, although with Sing he is very doubtful.

"He put his hand up to play at St Helens because of our injury problems when he could so easily have pulled out. He deserved a bit of luck but he didn't get any and aggravated his foot injury scoring his try."

Sing injured his foot against Catalans Dragons a fortnight ago and played through the pain barrier against Salford. He helped Hull out again, and Sharp said: "Maybe in hindsight we should have left him out but we were really struggling, especially on the wings."

Just having winger Raynor (ankle) and prop Carvell (groin) back would be a boost, and Sharp said: "They would provide us with strike power on the edge and punch down the middle."

Centre Yeaman (ankle) is making good progress and his return, with that of Raynor, would give Hull their first choice left side combination back.

After being out with a broken jaw since Bradford Bulls at Odsal, on June 16, Briscoe starts contact training on Wednesday, and Sharp added: "We're not expecting any problems and I would anticipate he will certainly come into contention for the weekend."
