Obviously you have seen a lot of Lunt recently to have formed such a knowledgable opinion...

Lunt is not the player he thinks he is and is not the player he was. He had ambition to play in the NRL - instead of playing NRL he will be playing lower grade RL in a lower grade competition. He has himself to blame for that- he was on the cusp of getting a regular spot playing for his country. BUt he stopped trying to improve his game. He had a couple of nasty injuries and was never the player he had promised to be on return. He is a connoisseur of the "Lunt special" as my lad calls it, scoring from DH next to the line. He is one of the best, most accurate passers of the ball from the floor, but he got lazy with his running from dummy half- a top class hooker will run from DH! Against us earlier this year he ran just twice.
This situation he finds himself in needs to kick start his game- he's not the player he was IMO, in his early days with hudds he was being compared to Roby and talked about as No2 England hooker- now he's no where near that class - and well behind the likes of Houghton and Clark, and below Milner and the like.
If Lunt will listen to Sheens and take on board what he says, If Lunt still has ambition he could be the key for a successful season for KR. IF....

He's a lot more focused on his rugby since he left you to join us, apparently it's because we don't allow him to play his trumpet any more.

Scott Prince is a bit old to be coming out of retirement isn't he?

For me ryan shaw would be first choice for the full back position,plenty of pace and if he can catch could be a star of the future.

Staggered that Rovers are considering another old, expensive half back have no lessons been learnt? I also don't think its great for the British game that Championship clubs are now resorting to luring Aussies out of retirement. Not a dig at Rovers specifically as well by the way as HullFC have signed more than enough washed up Aussie hasbeens over the years!

Tbf, as yet there's not real evidence they are.

It would be an extraordinarily leftfield option, IMO. It's not like he is recently retired, even.
