Quote: jools "I am probably going to get some right stick now but I'm going to say it anyway.... Lunt has been crap for the majority of the season and today was seriously stifling our attack.
He ran from dummy half ONCE that I recall, the rest of the time he (eventually) took the ball from the ptb and passed it to someone... By which time Wigan had got within a metre of that someone. The thing he does well are his "specials" scoring from DH- but if we aren't ever in a position a metre from the oppositions half it's a bit of a waste! Passing the ball from the floor isn't hard to do- my 10 yr old manages it- is he crocked or looking for out or just not arised I don't know- but he needs to sort it out cause it's giving us nothing to work with!'"

Don't you know you're only allowed to point the finger at Scott Grix for poor performance
Seriously, though, I agree. I said recently he hasn't looked match fit since he returned and it was really exposed last night (mind you neither Grix or Kaufausi looked fit last night to name just two others). I think he was also playing to poor tactics last night - pass, pass, prop gets it with 3 Wigan players already in his face.
Last night exposed the bigger problems we've all been aware of all season and it's been clear for longer than that that as soon as teams play at a high tempo against us, we really struggle. While the score wouldn't have been embarassing I refuse to believe Danny's presence would have made much difference last night, either.
