Essential IMHO that we start with Lunt on the field.

Agree, would like to see burrow used from the bench that worked so well in last years GF.

Top effort by lunt against Wigan on Friday. Put some hits in on defence

Essential because he tightens up the defence around the ruck and when in posession we have direction and some organisation. No coincidence that the pack was so dominant in the vital first quarter.

Some good defence as well, think It was JJB flying over to help out in defence on the right hand side.

I think whoever misses out will be unlucky.

Regarding ward, was imPressed with his attitude. Made a mistake and went hunting to redeem himself, his head didn't go down at all.
Also he hits in the tackle harder than his stature suggests

Is Danny McGuire 100% fit ????

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.
