| Been a good player, but a few years since he was at his best and he's been playing like his hearts not in it. Probably a good time for him to move on.
Good luck to him, hopefully a change will do him good.

| Quote ="Baron Greenback"Mate if he doesn't want to play for the club I would like to know why rather than just ship him out. Going to Leeds is one thing, going to Hull KR is another entirely. What is wrong at Huddersfield that a class player like Lunt was/is could turn into the fifty per thats been turning out for the last however long before sloping off to Hull KR for getting dropped?
'"
It might not be the club. It might be him.
I've had three jobs since I was 21. The first two of them, I was climbing up the wall after three years desperate to get out. Nothing to do with the work, I was just ready to move on and have a new start.
Likewise my four years at Uni. By the fourth year I was desperate to get on and do something else. I doubt many people would say the Uni I was at was at fault.
Maybe it's just time for the lad to move on?
Players are people too, they're not robots.

Maybe so. I'm not convinced but I'll accept that I may be influenced by the way other events have been handled these past few years. There will be issues on both sides, most likely.

Most on here believe everything that the Club tells them, some of us choose to look at the facts. Something smells.'" What are the facts Amber? The only people who truly know are the club and Lunt the rest is either guessing or lying.Fact.

| Quote ="Code13"Lunt hasn't been international or champion form in 2 years
I'm sorry he's gone because if he could regain his form he is brilliant - but on the showing of the last 12 months, he is no loss to us at all
As for other ins and outs...kafusi was pants, Chan had lost form, Fooey retired - and he was the best of them
Larne hadn't improved and had lost his x-factor
We've got Huby who was on the edge of test selection until injury
Hughes who is a back row to do a back row job
Ellis is a proper halfback
Wood and Robbo have done a better job at 9 than Lunt this season'"
I think this is a pretty fair assessment actually. I think the biggest miss is Fuey by a long way, and he's retired with honour so no complaints about him going.

| "Lunt who" Exactly!!
Let me think, would I prefer our starting hooker to be a guy who has always said " I want to play in the NRL, I want to play for Leeds or Hull KR etc"
Or a guy who always runs his blood to water, always puts his body on the line by getting bashed about, then coming back for more, and is totally committed to the Giants.
I would have Robbo every day of the week.
They were both offered 3 tear contracts and only one of them committed and signed the contract offer.

spot on, grand final ring or not, like i said previously if any player is not committed and doesn't want to play for us, he should be rightly shown the door.

| Yup, there is a lot to be said for loyalty and good attitude. Robbo never stops and has brilliant work ethic, heart on the sleeve kind of stuff!
Lunt as brilliant as he was and could be again would leave us at first chance to a 'bigger club' and has sulked at being dropped in the past!
I didn't like the fact Nathan brown saw and used us as a stepping stone and don't like that Lunt was using us in the same way.

Brilliant post, having a Grand Final ring doesn't make you a shoe-in for a position. Lunt is a better player but
Robbo has a much better work rate and attitude and i agree that counts for a hell of a lot more than what a player HAS done in the past.

Forgive me if I dong believe a word- a few weeks ago he was seeing his contract out at Hudds, this week he might sign for rovers for next season- last week he didn't want the contract- which is why he accepted the loan deal.
Lunt wants a big contract at a big club.
Wigan have mcillorum, wire have Clark, Saints have roby, Leeds have aiton-who is playing very well for them at the moment. Sorry lunt looks like it'll be KR or wakey for you pal. Perhaps he should speak to kooky-Salford might need a hooker....

Yes ,good start with his new Club. He did serve us well but why do some feel the need to put the boot in? Great shame the usual critics do not feel the need to praise when the team wins. Sign of the times I suppose.

| Lunt looked terribly uninterested and high maintenance on his debut today.
Thanks for letting us have him.
Wonder if we'll finish above you now.......

Our pleasure- always good to help out a struggling team with someone who's surplus to our requirements.
With your defensive record so far Id say the answer to that last question is

| Quote ="dtrentHKR"Are the 3 smiley faces your season ticket holders ? You keep Kyle wood he's great'"
Wood is playing well for us now and has come on leaps and bounds since coming back to the Giants, I'd even say he's a better all round player than Lunt. I find it funny you make time to come on our forum to have a little dig at our support and our playing squad, this coming from a HKR fan too. I'd expect it off mayber a Wire, Leeds, Wigan or Saints fan who support teams that win or certainly compete for trophies on a regular basis but not from someone like you. Don't forget one man doesn't make a team and we've got quite a good team who over the years have shown consistant form and competed in the top four of the division.
We've had a shocking start to the season, pre season was a writeoff and now we're finally getting going but still find ourselves above you in the table, explain that one????
