Lunt (what we have been missing all since Buderus's departure) ....AND Bailey. Say no more

Dont tell that to Rhinoms, He'll get upset again.

Just tell him how much you love Chisholm....you'll win him round again

Had a nantwichexile-esque thought tonight. Brent Webb to centre? A great pass to Ryan Hall..

I heard a rumour that TMFMISL has raised the naked run qualifying tally from zero to ten .

Any truth in it ?

So because im not prepared to write a kid off after 1 good team performance and a good debut from his competition that's getting upset??

Riiiggggghhhhhhhttttttt ok then

Tremendous expectation being heaped on Lunt already. He was very good last night, I'd agree, but presumably he'd be playing for Hudds this weekend were his performances always that good.



And Bailey - what a virtuoso performance from the maestro.

I've always been impressed by Lunt personally. I suspect he was more a victim of circumstance than anything at Huddersfield (maybe he doesn't fit into Brown's gameplan for one), and for me their loss is our gain on this occasion.

And according to Lunt last night, Leeds are already looking to make the move permanent.

Hope so. Great signing whilst Hood develops.

He looked excellent. Always scanning their defence for weaknesses to expose and getting his forwards running the lines he wanted

Leeds should make Lunt a permanent signing which solves the problem of having to accommodate the ordinary McShane who is a championship club player at best. I like Lunt - seen a lot of him at Huddersfield and he didn't look out of place at international level against the Aussies in 2010 down under when the England squad made some amends for the disastrous and embarrassing 2008 World Cup efforts under Tony Smith.

Lunt was absolutely superb last night. Right from the start of warm up.



Based on his ability to maintain the standard he set against Les Catalans the much needed replacement for Buderus has now arrived. Hetherington is one lucky bugger.



Burrow (when he returns - which shouldn't be for three or four weeks) should fit back in on the bench where he excelled for Leeds late last season.

Very lucky considering his official statement to the effect that Buderus will only be allowed to leave the club if a replacement of equal or better quality is made available to the club instead. I'm not aware of any player from Newcastle or anywhere else in Australia being made available to the club to sign since Buderus left and that statement was made.



So yes, with the signing of Lunt, Hetherington has avoided a few potential bullets that may have headed his way later on in the season.
