To be fair, can't you say that about pretty much every hooker in SL compared to Buderus?

It's amazing how much tackling he gets through. They are good solid hits too. And how much difference does a well paces accurate pass make?!

In what way is it helping us?

Yes, Buderus is a massive improvement on the Hooking position. But in what way is having the pair helping us?

in terms of squad I think 3 hookers is over kill. The similaries between Diskin & Buderus mean that you don't get the impact from Diskin coming on, but you do get a consistent style throughout the game I guess.

I would go with another forward on the bench, but at the moment it does allow us to rest on forward each match, or account for an injury anywhere in the team.

Buderus is different class to Diskin, but I thought Diskin was the better of the 2 against Hull, and he was excellent against Cas too.

Buderus only played the first 15, and last 10 I think. Picked up a bit of a back injury
