Simply a matter of opinion...esp with regards to the latter.

I don't what you will do when sinfield retires but it will probably give your right arm a rest

From the poster who's every post seems to be about Sinfield and picked his user name based on him.

Nantwich

That would suggest some really bad planning from the club - they had a year under Lunt to sort it and apparently did nothing and now they scratching around again to find someone for one of the key positions in the team

Totally agree. Not moving hell and high water to get Lunt was a huge mistake.

Perhaps they hoped McHane or Hood would develop.

IIRC he didn't want to stay.

Looking at it from the outside last year it seemed that Lunt was waiting for Leeds to sign him but it didn't happen (due to size of fee or whatever?). In the absence of that and no doubt with assurances from Anderson that he wouldn't mess him around like Brown had done he refocussed and went back to Huddersfield.

At the time we were trying to persuade Leeds to part with McShane, but Hetherington wouldn't entertain it (now I dont know what we were offering and it maybe we wanted him for nothing, all that I know is that we definitely tried to get him).



So I guess in the end the winners were Huddersfield, who got their player back on board and had a great season. McShane always seemed an outsider to McDermott's plans. Maybe he just cannot play the game McDermott wants him to. You don't get the impression that Mr McDermott goes in for compromise too much!



There are plenty of fans on our own site calling for us to go for him again, but I would be surprised if that happened now as we have picked up a lad called Carberry who was ahead of Logan Tomkins in the Wigan pecking order until he had a bad injury (broken leg I think), so I am sure we will want to see if he can recapture his previous form.

McShane was very good 2 metre from the line try scorer. Reminded me of Jamie Lowes in the old days
