ls he ooc ? who cares.

where is this other dimension?

Pretty sure McIlorum signed a four year deal last year.
It would take a lot for Shaun Wane to want to sell MicMac.
He's Waney's type of player and the coach loves the way he plays.
If Lunt does leave just make sure you have someone signed up to replace him first before he does go.

Oh dear. Here we go again!!!

I'll never understand why people prefer to believe rumours rather than facts!

Looks like it's finally happened.

Thank you for loaning us a hooker for the year, it was a problem position for us.

I dont have an issue with letting a player go who is out of contract at the end of the season and has stated he will not sign another one.
However if the club has any serious ambition of success it should be looking to bring in a quality replacement to the squad. Personally i think we are well covered at hooker and would look at a big aggressive forward.
Not replacing just makes the squad weaker and strength in depth is already an issue.

You'll never get McIlorum from Wigan. Wane has repeatedly stated that he's the best player he's ever coached.
He's just signed a 4 year deal too and seems more than happy to be here.

Looking from the outside getting rid of Lunt appears bizarre, always felt he was a good player!

Oooops

Cracking player when we won the LLS however last 18 months he's not been interested. Looks unfit, overweight and lost his spark for rugby. Thanks for your time Sean and good luck but not concerned about him leaving and hope leeming now gets game time

Not been playing well but to suggest he is overweight and unfit is rubbish.

Welcome to him they way he's performed recently. Just goes to show as well. He's not been playing well, gets dropped and immediately asks to leave.
He was umming and arring over NRL or Leeds. Ended up at Hull KR

Struggling to understand what is going on at the moment. Not the time to do this sort of business. Send the wrong message, big time.

What's going on?

Good move for us and him. He's stagnated at the Giants and has gone backwards over the last 8 months and wasn't willing to sign a new contract for next season so I'm not surprised he's left. He'll free up a massive wage and it'll open up one or two opportunities in bringing in a new player or two. Anderson and the Giants have done really well over the years in player recruitment so I think Lunt leaving will work out better for us in the long run and could push us on to the next level.

probably wanted to play for a team whose fans don't backbite and slag off after a couple of indifferent games.great signing for kr

He messed up there then didn't he.

You'd have to go watch an away game to find out !

I think I know what's going on here. You're trying to let the people of the forum know you're an idiot. Message received & understood. Thanks for coming!

Having a go at the Giants away following, move on you've signed a player on loan from us, a player we didn't want anymore and you resort to sniping about our away followings. Those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones as the saying goes.

Taking a break from chump baiting; I wonder if there are any plans for us to strengthen anywhere? If we were to get anyone in it would probably have to be from overseas.

Oh for a leader of men to show up and give us the true leadership we are missing!

Injury plagued season last year

Explains why he's been well below par this season now

Good luck to him

can't really say im surprised by lunt leaving, it appears his heart wasn't in it ,especially this year and i've always said if a player does not want to wear the claret and gold then show them the door.

i will add that i've got no ill feeling towards shaun lunt who has been a top class player for us over the years, sadly as others have said, he hasn't kicked on at all, in 2009 he was the best young no.9 in the country, and he was between him and roby who took the hooker spot for England, unfortunately injuries and form prevented lunty doing this.

but we should remember what good service he gave us over the years.

like chan and others it's a shame it has to end this way though.

Funnily enough after the Widnes game I said to my mum that he looked like he did before we sent him out on loan to Leeds. Lacking his usual spark, focus and generally being a bit slack in defence.

That loan really worked for Lunt and I wish him well. A good move for all involved and no doubt he will be a top player with a fresh challenge.

Really hope this means we see more or Kruise. It will give us a bit in the salary cap but can't see who we would sign that would add the required quality. It will probably be used to tie Connor down long term if not already.

do we need to replace him though? we have ellis,robbo and wood not to mention leeming who can all play 9.
should one of ellis or robbo move to 9, then wood or connor can cover half back for them.

Bet HKR are are surprised they've signed someone with the class of Lunt and it wouldn't surprise me if we get someone in who's a class above and adds another dimension or our team. Would be good to try and give some of the youngsters a go as we've got quite a good academy set up with many promising players coming through.

His second spell in the second half against Widnes he was more direct but it's fair to say he's been a shadow of the player he has shown back in 2013.

He needs game time now to sell himself. He won't want to stay at Hull KR next season. They're too far away from Cockermouth. One hell of a drive back up there from the far end of the M62. You're talking 4hrs on a busy day. More even.
