Quote ="Serge A. Storms"I think most people on here agree the way Buderus plays the game is much better suited to the Rhinos match rhythm than the Diskin way.
To interchange with a slower player kind of defeats the object of bringing a fresh player on to target tired legs- ala Saints - when in fact what he does is to slow the game down to their pace - bizarre.
Buderus has shown the way and that way is beyond the skill set/physicality of Matt Diskin - sadly the one injury has ruined a potentially phenominal player.
So what is the future - this is a key position that must be filled by a really high quality player - if Buderus does go after the two years then we need to recruit from Australia - Michael Ennis would be a great signing.
As for Diskin well he deserves a testimonial - if only for he performance in 2004 GF - but for me his long term future is not at Headingley'"
I don't necessarily disagree with your points about Diskin but why must we recruit from Australia?
Where did Saints fill the need for their change of pace interchange hooker from?
IMO, it doesn't need to be filled by a high quality hooker. It needs someone nippy. McShane looked the part earlier this year. Perhaps even a failed half back like Roby.
Distribution and quality of passing is not as important if he's coming on to run at tired legs.
I still think Diskin can and will fill this role btw.
