A proper 9 is essential for next year with Dwyer impacting game from bench

A bit harsh on Lunt to judge him so soon. He's been out a fair while. But we haven't many games for him to get right.

Anyone expecting much from Lunt does not know his recent history

Dwyer is what he is, an impact Hooker, who in a good side would get 20-25 minutes off the bench. Great eye for a break, and some pace to back it up.

Not the game controlling, skilled distributor we should have starting though. I've said it before - bring back McShane!

Well, sooner or later we are going to have to go UK based.

Totally agree with all of that except I don't think McShane's the answer.

Dwyer plays a lot like Burrow at hooker. Potentially game changing if used effectively (hence deserving of an extension IMO) but not what we need at hooker. Plus, Brad's not as good as Rob.

To be fair to 'Dog', his form was a lot better earlier in the season, but he seems to be struggling now - trying to force things a bit too much. You get that in teams under pressure - it's also affecting other players like Newman and Hurrell.

Do Leeds use a sports psychologist?

I think Burrow was much worse at 9. He played in a far better team but he would have been a nightmare to run off. His passing was worse, he more often than not ran his runners out. Though, overall, Burrow had a better career (in the halves) and had more of the ‘X’ factor and is rightly regarded as a Leeds legend.

Got to be honest I'm fed up of the hooking issues we have constantly. It's about time we got a hooker long term who can do the job.

I'm maybe too harsh on Dwyer but I honestly think hes one of the worst players I've ever seen. Lunt isn't the answer either.

It's gone on for nearly 10 years now and it's about time we got a proper 9 at the club who stays and performs.

Corey needs to work on his collision and physicality and he could be the answer. It needs bloody sorting, it's a crucial position and is along with a 7, an absolute priority for the club to rectify.

Completely agree. It’s one of, if not the most influential positions these days, and yet we’ve seemed to shove square pegs into round holes or just use stop gaps.

I’m a fan of Dwyer but only if used correctly, in the same way that Burrow, if he had to be played there, should have been. 10-15 minute spells in each half If needed to step up the speed/intensity while the main 9 has a rest.

dont rate dwyerbut a short spell or two is fine
