Social media awash with Leeds fans claiming Lunt has signed for Leeds and that's why he's missing.

Trouble is Meast sadly we do not have that quality!

cant believe he hasnt reffed us since the cup!

are they hoping we forget or waiting for the playoffs to trot him out.

feel the lads that played v wigan deserve to keep their place, murphy had concussion so giving him a break for broughton this time.

murphy and chan to miss out.

Looking forward to this. Always something special if we beat Leeds.
Good squad to play with. Lunt will be missed but Robbo will do a job hopefully with Wood continuing to build on his half back performances.

I can't see past Johnson starting again after the Wigan game with Crabtree along side him.
Faiumu to be moved to the bench and put on in whatever position he's needed in.

I haven't been confident before many games this season but this Thursday I think we'll take the win comfortably. (Even if the score doesn't suggest it) I think Leeds have bad form and our week off will give us the more energetic boost.
Beating Leeds is still an extremely hard task however so I'll be keeping fingers and toes crossed.

I wonder what's up with Lunt? Has he an injury? It seems strange not to have an explanation for his absence...

A fantastic player on his day, but this season his 'days' have been few and far between.

Anderson has not been happy with his defensive work prior to Wigan. However he played well last time out so his absence and lack of explanation seems very strange.

im quite surprised by that as his defence has been ok for me - its more his lack of creating anything at the ruck thats been disappointing.

Have iron good authority he has been dropped. Too much to say apparently.

back at Leeds helping them win silverware then....

Poor defence, too much to say make your mind up. I personally think he is still struggling with his ankle injury he has had most of the season.

Calf strain according to the Examiner.

Then again they said Salford had signed JJB and Zak Harsaker had been banned.
