Quote: G1 "Long term I think Liam Hood, though accept he's still very raw.
I still have reservations about McShane though I wouldn't stick the boot in like some have.
As for Lunt, I thought he was excellent against Catalan but there was an over reaction by our fans to his first 2 games. I thought he was terrible at Hull. If available and if he displays his Catalan form far more than his Hull form then, yes, I would look to sign him.
I asked a friend who is a knowledgeable Huddersfield fan why Huddersfield weren't playing Lunt, let alone allowing him to go out of loan. The answer was, for all he rated him as a good player, he was a weak defender and Brown, N didn't want him in the pack whilst ever another poor defender Brown, K was at loose.'"
The thing i like about Lunt is that when we have dominant go forward then he is very competant in moving the ball from dummy half,i thought against Catalan that our first receivers had the ball in their hands far quicker than either Hood or McShane have been able to do so far
9 is probably the most influential position on the field and although McShane and Hood are clearly talented players,both of whom will figure for the club in the future,i believe that we have lacked direction from dummy half when they have been on,we cannot have this problem in the big games as we will be turned over defensively by the top sides
Our best options at 9 when the big games come are either Lunt or Burrow imo
