Parcell will probably go much better for KR than us. Not sure why that would surprise anyone, and it would be bonkers to assume that if we hadn't let him go he'd suddenly become a match-winner for us after two years of doing nothing much. Its all about the way the team plays - our lack of forward domination means we don't get him the quick PTBs that he thrives on. Lunt may work better for us than KR for exactly the opposite reason - we need a hooker who can manage sets and just pass well on the back of often slow PTBs. Lunt probably doesn't have the legs any more (if he ever really did) to take advantage of quick PTBs so wouldn't be able to take advantage of them as well as Parcell.
Tony Smith I agree with - I thought we should have gone for him from day 1. I'd also add that the club could have acted faster to make transfers - I'd bet Furner was pushing for changes before he left, and its taken another 6 league games (of which we've won just 2) to actually make a change.
