Quote: chapylad "He gave BJB the number 2 shirt but preferred Smith.
I think if the players deserve to be in the team on merit then that`s not a bad thing.
To pick Kirke ahead of possibly Clarkson and Moore does make that seem someone is telling porkies.'"


Sorry but Smith doesn't deserve number 2 shirt and I always thought single numbers were first team choice??

Buderus wouldn't be happy being on the bench

Fourth post down on here from earlier in the season perhaps?



Just a pity McShane doesn't yet play like him. One of the few scrum-hales around that gave Andy Gregory something to think about.

Quote: G1 "Had McShane put in the sort of display Lunt did on Sat our "fans" would be baying for blood. However, Lunt resembles Buderus so they love him. McShane resembles Kevin Dick and most of our fans have no clue who he is.'"


Yup. Lunt was poor on Saturday, which lends credence to Nathan Brown's view of him. I'm hoping that his showing was in part down to a lack of grunt from some of the forwards, and that he'll show more of his Catalans game form in the coming rounds.

By the same token we should not give up on McShane just yet, especially as he has the longer contract and is considerably younger. I still think he can make it, provided the coach shows enough faith in him to give him an extended run. Difficult at the moment with Lunt seemingly being first choice and Lee Smith taking up a bench spot. He'll get his chance though.

[quote:1pqtnbtj]Every player in our squad could probably earn more money with another club. But they prefer to sacrifice a few extra quid in their back pocket to share special memories. And playing at a place like Old Trafford on a night like this makes it all worthwhile.[/quote:1pqtnbtj] Kevin Sinfield:982.jpg



Quote: The Chin's Back "In your honest opinion G1 which of our current 9's would you think are our best future leading hooker?
Would you sign Lunt if available?'"

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
