Absolute nonsense. You are suggesting he is one of the best in the UK. He is very average. He wouldn't be playing at a Championship team if there was a chance he could play in SL. Leeds, Hudds... have washed there hands of him. Saints have brought in Tommy Lee as a starting 9 above Lunt(and he is very average). You really are kidding yourself.

Tommy Lee will be on a quarter of the wage that Lunt is on, they most probably tried to get Lunt as they did Walker, whom is half the player Lunt is.

I'm suggesting he is one of the best hookers in this country, our neighbors would even take him to interchange with Houghton. For you to say he's not SL standard is absolutely laughable.

Thoroughly enjoyable game. Penalty count was dreadful and whilst some could be argued against it is something we suffer week in week out and it cost us the game. We need to get smarter in playing the refs. We alos bombed, as others have said 3 good chances in the first half.

but it was a great game, very impressed with the pack which really stuck to its task. Purtill was very very good, which i confess was a surprise as i really didnt fancy him. now need to get some wins under our belts, get Api back and grant and onwards and upwards......................

Hendo said we weren't clinical enough- can't argue with that.

Brian2, who would you drop for Grant?

A quarter of the wage? You reckon Lunt is in what 100k to Lee 25?

Hull don't play with a interchange hooker.

Thought Cunningham was a big miss at stages.

When is he due to return?

Agreed and the bad news is that it was a very late December op with James announced as out for "up to six months."

Maybe a bit of an exaggeration on the wage part but he's certainly not in the same class of player as Lunt, a puzzling signing he was by Cunningham.

Radford I believe has been quoted as saying he's wanted to acquire another hooker.

Any news on Channing and Api?

Api I believe will be back in training imminently.

Channing probably 2/3 months away

its difficult, but dixon must be under threat, defensively he can be awful, he left his wing wide open for the Moss try,

Sat with him at the hospitality event. He was very chipper and said he was only a couple of weeks away, so Bradford.

nice gut - spoke very well and honestly

Great stuff.

One thing I don't get about having a player like Dixon is that teams never put on a set move kick return, the amount of yards London could make for a slightly high risk play would be massive.

The attendance was 1,312 apparently.
