Leuluai is currently contracted at Leeds until the end of the 2011 season.



That excludes Lauitiiti alright but do you know where Brent Webb was born? The last time I looked Cairns was still in Australia.

I'm not sure why Kiwis and Australians would view their stays in the SL any different to each other. They're both working at the other side of the world afterall.

I'll be down in a minute, put the kettle on.

Peter Smith? It's early and it's the best I can do at this hour.

Buderus is going nowhere he said he wants to stay here and is in talks about a new contract.

Whats with the stupid rumours ? don't you realise they do get back to the players and unsettle them. It's even more stupider that most of the false rumours are coming from so called Rhinos fans.

This particular Buderus rumour appears to be coming from the Australian media, fuelled by Buderus' agent.

You'd have to be pretty stupid not to realise that, wouldn't you?

Yes I do thanks, he's an Aussie from birth. But he's got balls hence playing for the kiwi's

I think Buderus edges it as the better hooker so far this season.

That said, it's important to look at the number 9 position in the long-term. Realistically, how long is Buderus going to be around? I honestly cannot see him being here in 2012.

If we release Diskin and opt for Buderus with McShane as understudy, what happens if there is a long-term injury to either player, or if McShane/Hood simply don't make the grade?

If the rumours are to be believed, I'd prefer to keep the younger hooker who knows his mates inside out and has never let us down. Some people on here would call this sentimentality; I think it's the sensible approach.

What about 2011??????????

So what's the point in holding onto a player who is far too good for the rest of the squad thus not getting the best out of him?

I agree with all of that.

Reckon not recon

He would have done not would of done

Hadn't it been not hasn't it been

Here endeth today's lesson

could be that's what Leeds are doing - according to Disko's tweets today -

Meeting at 1030 which should be interesting and then chill out and get ready for tonights game
& then about an hour ago - another tweet from him

Well the meeting was a kick in the teeth
about 2 hours ago via TweetDeck

interesting ........................

I doubt it was a meeting at Leeds Rhinos though. They wouldn't be discussing contracts the morning of a game.

Doesnt he sell homes, or run his own company? maybe it was a potential client meeting.

Why release Diskin,I'd send McShane another season loan.

maybe not - time will tell (or he will tell on Twitter)

We're signing another hooker to replace Buderus?

Or its just Buderus signing another year?

Perhaps Diskin's meeting was with Keith Senior?

He should be banned for life.

Not long enough for some. Banned for eternity.

Is it half price listings day?

There is no substitute for class - having top players in your side inspires others to maximise their potential - Billy Slater is light years ahead of any player in the Rhinos side are you saying you would turn him down!!!

He wasn't light years ahead of Hayne's nut in this mornings match. www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/leag ... -xl09.html I particularly like this comment: 'And what an ill-feeling. Slater, according to the constant chant, is a w[iank[/ier. He was sin-binned for 10 minutes for an elbow to Hayne's head.'

Perhaps Diskin has been dropped for this evening with Webb returning?

Its simple, don't let him go, he is head and shoulders above any other 9 in the comp.

Tonight he was supreme, compare when he is on the field to when Diskin is on it?
