I agree. IMO Lunt is a better Hooker than both Aiton and Burrow.

He was excellent at the start of the season but seems to have struggled with injury as the season has gone on I think.

I watched Daryl Clarke in the Cas playoff game & was very unimpressed with his passing from dummy half. He has terrific pace against poorly set marker(s) but there are other aspects of his game where Lunt is better.
I'd be happy to see Lunt back at Headingley if Aiton is banned.

Agree with this.
Early season thought Akron looked ok early season. But still prefer Lunt to Aiton.

Yes I noticed that too.
His passing was not very crisp and slowed down the attack on more than a few times.
Still think he is behind Roby and the thug from Wigan

I said before, Aiton should get back to Aus, call ASADA and look for the same deal his Sharks teammates got. Its not his fault he wasn't within ASADA's jurisdiction when they cut deals. If he waits for ASADA he could well end up with a worse ban, but it would be very hard for ASADA to explain why they didn't offer Aiton the same deal as Gallen and co.
