Lunt handed out at least 5 meaty big hits on Friday, he was really fired up.

I think he has made a difference at 9 and I hope we retain him for next season. Can't see it though. Paul Anderson would get a quality hooker back in his side for next season.

He hasn't looked it to me for the last few weeks, hasn't looked 100%

Depends if Lunt wants to go back. Yes he is contracted to hudds but no point retaining someone who doesn't want to play for you

some difficult choices for McD



Is it conceivable that McGuire should start on the bench in palce of young Ward.

For me its cklarkson who unfortunately misses out with Mags at 7 Lunt at 9 and RB off the bench.
Ideally it would be Sinny at 13 with DM and RB our half backs and Lunt at 9 for the 80 and Bails at interchange Prop but Mc wont go that way.

I spoke to Lunt a few weeks back and said I hoped he was here next year. He said something along the lines of 'thanks, but don't tell me...tell Gary.'

Having said that I would have thought the ball is in Anderson's court.

That would be my choice.

I thought he was very good in the first 15 mins last Friday. His tackling was solid early on and really put himself about.

It's a no-brainer. That's why it probably won't happen. Depends which player is picking the team this week.

True ! but for me it more than that.

He took our pack down the pitch in an organised way that set a platform for us to be dominant for much of the first half and prevented Wigan for gaining any sort of attack until after the break.
