I think the KR fans on here are missing the point !
If you read carefully i think you will probably find the majority of Giants fans all agree that Lunt is still a good player, the problem has been his attitude and his performances for this club.
No one is doubting his talent, which when he wants to he can be one of the best hookers in the competition, we know cos he was one of them for us and it is frustrating because we know what he can do he just chose not to do it for us anymore as he was having one of his by now regular sulks.

Hull KR have got a fine, fine player who may blossom again into the Shaun Lunt we knew at his peak, unfortunately for us we haven't had that one for a couple of years now and it was becoming detrimental to our squad in the end.
The KR fans coming on here with a look what we've got and you're missing attitude are being very silly as like we've said he didnt want to be here anymore and our club realised this and moved him out, you haven't snatched him from us -we gave him to you !

Shaun is a cracking player and a decent bloke, but like with a lot of things in life things and people need to move on to progress - that is true of Huddersfield Giants and Shaun Lunt.
I for one wish him well in the future he's been a great servant to this club, last couple of years apart when he's decided he wants to play thing his way and sulked when he didn't (or so it seems).
Enjoy him KR, you've got a cracking player there who WILL score tries for you...just don't expect him to hang around if he's decided he wants something else though.

good post Giant Daz.

personally I can't see Lunt signing a permanent deal with us and if he's just using us to put himself in the shop window then I hope he plays his heart out in doing so. this loan gives him that cgance and helps us in a position I feel we were really poor in.

He's hardly what you would call a cast off, merely someone who by your own fans' admission does not want to be at the club, perhaps moving to a new club has given him a different outlook and a new found passion for the game which apparently had deserted him. Lets not forget you were happy to take plenty of our cast off's over the years and they have done ok for you, not forgetting those players' such as Woods and George amongst others what came to our club short term and went back better players.

He won't sign for us permanently because it's too far from Cumbria where he likes to visit home as often as possible. I think he realises unless he tears trees up between now and the end of the season he won't get the club or the ££ he wants so could be rovers who reap the benefits. Can't help but feel he's cost Giants a lot of money as rovers were willing to stump up a healthy fee for him and start of the season now they get him for free four rounds in

I would just like to point out that the fact it is a loan doesn't mean in anyway a fee wasn't paid. Many loans, in many sports (including ours) include some form of payment. You may have got him cheaper but there is no guarantee that you got him for free

Will he be allowed to play against us? That will be a clue if he is still our Player. Think not. Time to move on this subject has been played out and is now boaring.

I think he will be allowed to play against us. But yes I think it is a pointless conversational because in all honest every party is pretty happy... time to move on.

Some interesting comments made by anderson this week. Firstly he's talked about "a fair chunk of salary cap" becoming available following the departure of lunt. Suggests he was being paid a fair bit. He also said when asked about dropping mullally "The change we made at No9 and involving the bloke who’s now left us (Shaun Lunt)was initially down to him being dropped due to his defence, so it wasn’t just Mull who copped it."
So initially down to being dropped, then he left...... Certainly sounds like the scenario many suggested of lunt having a strop at being dropped is very likely.

Yeah I noticed that

Mull always looks good from the bench and gives us some real go forward I think

wood showed lunt how to play yesterday.

Giants no where near the top 4?

no you wont

well done for remembering/spotting this

looks a bit of a numpty now don't they

quite a few daft comments on this thread, bit quiet now after what they were saying

Wow feels like you've won a cup final !!!! I'm sure if youdve played thurs tues Sunday it would have been a different story .... for the record Lunt still far better than wood and take brough out your team and you'd be bottom 3 ....

How very magnanimous!

Just responding to a few one eyed giant fans .... By the sounds of the posts wood is in line for the man of steel

For the record Lunt is a better player than wood- sadly for him anyone that didn't know any better wouldn't believe it as Woody has outshone him all season when they've been on that hudds pitch- even when they were on the same side!
if Lunt was the player he could be he's be in the England squad.

As it is he's no better than a decent passer of the ball from the floor- my lad did that for u9s. Now he's u11 !! he makes more runs in 15 minutes than Lunt does in a game. 2 lunt made on Sunday........
He's not playing the game he can. he's not the player he was. And many giants fans were saying that well before he left for you.

I don't know where we'd be if brough wasn't playing- neither do you. Chances are if he hadn't been there against Salford, Catalan and KR in April we may have had 5 more points as his gobbing off at the ref did nowt for the penalty count.
Can't say I noticed us particularly go to pot when brough came off yesterday.

I think the 2 40/20s 1 try and 3 assists were enough lol you stopped scoring when he went off ..... Fair post tho ^

Bottom 3 ? aye ok !!

a bit OTT?
he had a good game yesterday, which most people have pointed out, not sure why the dummy spit though?

and if, we had played mon, thurs, sat and sunday we still might have beaten you easily, but we won't know
and if, we were without brough, we could still be top 4, but again, we'll never know.

Lunt was outstanding when he went to the Rhinos in 2012 and played his best rugby to date whilst there imo

Sadly some players and their style of play don't always suit the club that they are at

For what it's worth i still rate Lunt very highly and would welcome him with open arms should we sign him

Lunt was in the SL dream team for us in 2013.

sadly it went downhill after that! injuries and getting too big for his boots

he's still a very good player if he puts his mind to it, unfortunately i think in the last 18 months he has been more concerned about trying to bag a big move to the NRL or one of the big boys in SL and it appears his game has suffered for it

which is a crying shame for him and the game as he had the potential to be one of the best hookers in a generation.
