Durham- It's about the ambition of Lunt as a player-
I will answer you question with my own.
[color=#FF0000][color=#FF0000]Is he any more likely to win silverware with KR than us?
[/color][/color]

He has already said he would like to go to aus, with a year left on his contract with us, is signing for KR on a few years less ambitious than seeing out his season with us then trying his hand down under?

Is he any less likely to win anything at KR.

Our best season is behind us.

Unless we suddenly get a good crop of youngsters like Leeds did with Sinfield and McGuire or Man U with Beckham and Scholes we are not going to win anything.

We will be steady but we are not going to win any trophies any time soon.

Do you think an ageing Brough and Robbo backed by Ellis and Wood are going to trouble any of the top teams in a 4 knockout game play off series. ?

1w

They have as much chance as us.

Hence my original question .
Why have a go at Lunt for lacking ambition when he might be going to a team which looks like they have as much chance as us next season if not more !

Re: 2015 - Starting 17 : Sun Oct 19, 2014 5:05 pm  

I dissagree they will

Because I don't think they do have more chance. Wholesale changes just don't work, ask Leeds, ask us and ask salford.
Anyhow it sounds as if he's off. With journos saying he's defo going to replace
Hodgson. (They are always right )
What a shame if true -but if it is its a case of Thanks for the memories ..... NEXT!

oliver roberts should be challenging for a place in the starting 17 next season... with SL experience already under his belt. good competition for places

Re: 2015 - Starting 17 : Wed Nov 05, 2014 1:14 pm  

Jack Hughes vying for a spot in the second row with Taai and Ferres then..

lawrence,bailey,oliver roberts also and fairbank for competition in that area

Re: 2015 - Starting 17 : Mon Nov 10, 2014 7:02 pm  

do we think that ellis and brough will be partners next season at half back?

robbo interchanging with lunt at hooker, would like to see this

wood also give us options

i think anderson needs to find his best 17 combos as early as poss!!!

Re: 2015 - Starting 17 : Tue Nov 11, 2014 12:10 pm  

Conner
Smurph
Wardle
Cudjoe
McGillvary
Brough
Robinson /Wood /Ellis (Dependant on form, injury and who will partner brough best)
Koppy
Lunt
Huby
Taai
Ferres
Bailey

Erol
Johnson
Mullaly
Leeming

Grix is getting on, let's blood his replacement early and get him settled behind a quality back line! Lunt will almost definitely be gone next year and I'd like to see Leeming (an out an out hooker, not a half back turned hooker) replace him, so this year put him on the bench to interchange with Lunt so he can get the exposure and experience required.

Re: 2015 - Starting 17 : Tue Nov 11, 2014 1:43 pm  

Wood was in cracking form when he got injured and was turning into a very good halfback

I'm hoping to see more of the same from him
