Clearly, Nathan Brown is going for more of an extra half-back type of player at hooker than an old school version - Robinson, Lee, Moore - but if that plan isn't working, then someone like Lunt is invaluable. I suppose Faiumu could be the man tasked with offering that different dimension if and when required, but it's clear that Lunt just isn't the type of player Brown wants at dummy-half.
All the best to Lunt. Terrific player that I've enjoyed watching these last few seasons.

I wonder if he will play against us at all?

nope he wont wadski

If any coach in super league knows what to do with a hooker it is Brown. I will make my mind up when Moore has played a few games for us.

Lunt always seemed to be a bit exposed defensively in the big games, i dont know why but the play off game vs Leeds seems to stick in my head. If Moore can cut out the penalties and sort his off field problems he should go well. Plus with Fairbank signing up i would much rather see us keep our strength with good quality youngsters tied down, inc Walker & Eden, rather than a class fourth option hooker that would be demanding 70/80k.

Thats an awful picture..........one of my favourite players in the last 5 years and seeing him in a L***s shirt when he cant get in our team is a real shame.................good luck Lunty !!

Its a sign of how far we've come and how much competition for places there are when an England hooker has to join the current SL Champions to get more gametime.

To be fair lunt has hardly played this year and we have not missed him. Robbo lee and faimu have looked good at 9 for us this season.

I have been told that lunt has fallen out with browny so hes out of the club until brown goes saints but who knows. Good luck to lunt at L***s and wish him all the bets

Moore is a quality player and if he sorts is head out off the field then he will be good. We will see what happens but im sure brown and anderson know what they are doing

I have not read anywhere that he has been prevented from playing against huddersfield. It should have been announced today if that is the case.

I don't know why either, he was out injured last season from July onwards and has never played against Leeds in the play-offs.

Wont play against Giants. Hetherington will announce whatever suits him.

Errmmmm you mean club world champion's

Lunt's signing may show that Leeds want a sub who is more than just a hooker when Burrow starts. Burrow probably plays 60 minutes, so the reserve hooker often plays minimal minutes. Leeds may well be looking to use Lunt's ability to play elsewhere if required.

Or it could be that Burrow's injury is worse than has been disclosed and Leeds are a bit reluctant to rely on two relatively untried players for too long.

Or it could be that Leeds simply don't rate McShane.

Only time will tell.

Great career move
All players start out at a small club, and have ambitions to join a big club with serious chances of success.

He was never going to win anything as a Fart Owner!
