RR "Tonite was a masterclass on good dummy half play". That was on the back of some real hard yards and great go forward by our pack are you saying when we've been poor its just been down to Mcshane?

No i'm saying that Mcshanes dummy half play has been very slow, that may be a result of poor play by the rest of the team, but even in the games where we have been on top his play has still been very slow, thus making everything else in the team a little predictable!




Are you Pual Mcshane's Dad??????

Tonite's game showed how a good number 9 should play. There were 13.000 witnesses saw how well Lunt went tonite, there are also quite a few on here both raving about lunt/bagging Mcshane! Why have a go at me for doing the same???

It's a lot easier to get good go forward if you've got a dummy half providing quick and accurate service. Lunt did that tonight. From the times I've seen Leeds on Sky this season McShane and Hood have both failed to do this. McShane in particular has looked dreadfully slow both in distribution and movement and Hood looks a lot like a natural athlete learning to play a position.

Hood out on loan to Dews is a great move by Leeds and he'll benefit greatly from it. McShane needs to speed up everything he does otherwise he wont make it as a hooker.

Coincidence or not Lunt showed how it should be done....great distribution. He and Burrow should now be first choice interchange dummy halves on that performance.

Difficult because I would also like to see Hood on that bench every week too.

Either way McShane is now well down the pecking order IMO.

McShane was outstanding against Manly, it would have been hard to fault that performance also. Lunt is a good player, but that effort from he pack tonight was pretty special. When you dominate collisions like we did my mum would look sharp at dummy half.

Lunt's had one good game and McShane - a young player -a few average ones.

lets calm down before writing a kid off who has still got stacks of potential imo and lets face it when he's played recently the whole team have been off colour not just him and i still maintain he offers some good options at 9 that Hood ,Burrow and even now Lunt don't.

The only good option that McShane brings to the party is the odd 40/20. His distribution is slow and his whole play lacks zip. Much is said about him not having enough game time but Lunt showed in one game his class whilst McShane has never managed to show anything more than promise in 30 to 40 appearances since 2009.

Watch his apperances vs Castleford & Bradford both away last season then come back to me.

I did. So McS made a try with a good pass from a PTB against Cas - big deal. He has never given an 80 minute performance like Lunt did in his first game for Leeds and has never shown enough to be rated as anything more than promising. He has sadly failed to show the improvement necessary to make the 9 spot his own and now could be down to 4th choice at Leeds.
