I am sure Trinity will get in a quality experienced 9 that will complement Kyle Wood for next season.

Lunt has been a quality 9 for a long time but there has to be a question over whether physically he could perform to SL standard for another season (KR and Leeds can't have thought so)...

Neither of those comments replicate what I said. You really do have an issue with anyone who doesn’t follow your view of anything Trinity.

1: NRL players especially ones with a family don’t come cheap, why would anyone think they would, be serious please. He may have been cheap compared to some other NRL imports but he won’t have come over here for a pittance.

2: I never said he was crap that’s just a lame attempt to put words in my mouth. Doesn’t do you any credit. He is a good player but that doesn’t automatically make him a good player for us. I personally don’t think he’ll be missed all that much, mainly because I think he can be replaced.

For various reasons I don’t think as a quota player he was VFM due as I clearly stated to injuries that I clearly stated were not his fault.

I don’t mind debating with you but your knee jerk reactions to what are fair comments on my part are truly tedious.

You think he was a top signing that’s fine, I’m not convinced, live with it I do.

Maybe we should give Josh Wood a chance to prove himself, as I think he has a point to prove by being pushed out by Lussick and Tomkins.

Could be just a rumour...he's not be signed yet has he?

Josh seems to be the same style of 9 as Kyle ...small nippy player who benefits from a quick play the ball...

FWIW

I don’t think Randall in the end was value for money. Mainly due to injury which wasn’t his fault. Had he been fit and played more games then who knows, but it’s speculative at best.

Did I not read your first post correctly?
I'm sorry if I misunderstood but I don't really see why you have a problem with someone asking for clarification on your post.

C'mon, play nicely you two or you'll both be on the "thinking" chair.

Sorry. Your point is well made.

To get back on track, I think the 9 is vital for a team to perform.
We can cover the tackling with Crowther and Ashurst but the most important part of the role for me is the quality of the pass and pass selection.

All the champion sides have it. Roby's tackling is always talked about but his pass is what makes the team tick.
And that's what we need to give our back line time on the ball.

Cam king would be a great option if he would be more realistic on his wage demands..
