We haven't produced a local full back since Richard Gay, so he had a point, albeit not particularly well articulated.

Clarke has a go at hull over Russell but fails to mention how Leeds should be embarrassed for borrowing Lunt from Huddersfield

So true, especially when they have Paul Mcshane a proven hooker at super league level.

but he's terrible.

and i'm sure had Wigan signed Lunt there would be many on here rejoicing, despite having young Logan waiting in the wings

Surely that's the point.

Chairmen and coaches have a duty to put as good a team on the field as they can, and that takes priority over their duty to ensure that youngsters get regular first-team action.

Everybody does it, but only certain clubs seem to get criticised for it.
