I suspect the club is planning 100% around the development of Johnson into a real quality hooker, and they see Lunt as an experienced head to assist with that. It isn't just about what Lunt may or may not do on the field.
The 1-year deal for Dwyer makes me think Leeds are basically saying he has this time to prove he can improve the weaknesses in his game.
One of the problems has been that both Dwyer and Parcell are running hookers who thrive off a quick ruck, and we don't have a Plan B when our pack isn't on top (quite often). Lunt when he does play could be a more steadying influence in the middle when the going is tougher.
