How very relevant past Saints players are to this subject.



The Leeds supporters have been pretty loyal themselves over the years with very little to show for it until recently. Labouring the success angle is a bit daft as I don't see how a player who has won trophies is any more worthy of a testimonial than a player who has been just as committed and won nothing.



Every club has a salary cap and Matt Diskin isn't the sort of player a club spending full cap would throw money at. I don't know when Matt last signed a contract but if it was before his bad injury, he may even command less elsewhere. I'm sure Danny Buderus is doing OK as a hooker within the Rhinos pay structure, although I guess he's on less than Matt given that he has contributed less to the Rhinos cause.

People show their appreciation and support in different ways, there is no supporter bible that states you have to hand cash directly to players if you think they have served the club well, they are professionals and are paid for what they do.

Again, I don't necessarily disagree with testimonials and I think Matt thoroughly deserves one, but people have the right to decide whether they want or are able to give him a bonus from their own pocket when they already pay his wages through supporting the club and for many people those wages are probably more than they themselves earn anyway.

There you go again. Only word is pathetic to describe your attitude.

They're not. It was a cheap jibe but one I enjoyed making nonetheless.

Indeed. Myself included. There were hardly any players during the 1980's and 1990s that showed the required loyalty to acheive a testimonial at Leeds. Co-Incidentally, virtuall a trophy-less two decades.

In your opinion but then again as he's not James Roby or Keiron Cunningham I doubt you would see the value in a player like Matt. Over the last 6 seasons there have hardly been any better hookers in the comp. He's got a harry Sunderland as well as 4 Sl rings so I imagine on the open market he could do quite well for himself. I am sure you would disagree but, then again, Saints fans on here rarely rate any of our players.

Of course there isn't. I never said there was. people need to use their own moral compass. I know which way mine was pointing Sunday.

But they don't pay his wages. Not at a big time operation like Leeds they don't.

There you go again with personal attacks and insults. All of your posts on this thread aimed at me have contained them. Yet I have risen above it. You know why? Its' a sign I have won the argument. Not that I needed a sign. The second your responded I don't think there was ever any doubt I would win the argument. I think its' BEEN a forgone conclusion from the outset.

You lost it long ago mate. You are just further demonstrating your little man syndrome again now.

I don't really understand that point. I haven't ever looked at Leeds' accounts but they really must be a big time operation operation if they can run the club and spend full cap without selling a single ticket/shirt/beer/burger/etc.

Turnover approached £11 million last year.

We're pretty frikkin awesome at Headingley Carnegie doncha know.

The attendance at the Bradford game is dissapointing, but what was worse was last year at JJB's testimonial when there was nearly more Hull FC fans than Leeds fans.

Quite right mate. You've shown us up this weekend. Congratulations to you and KR on a fantastic gate and a proper advert for loyal supporters.

So you think you can toady up to me with terms of endearment after all the uncalled for personal abuse?

You say I have little man syndrome but its' clear who has been the bigger man on this thread and its' not the one who occasionally works in Poland (or not).

Suit yourself.



You carry on fantasizing.



But seriously, take the looks away, and you display all the attributes of what these specialists call "little man syndrome".

You sound like an expert on the subject. Had many "specialists" describing various syndromes to you have you?

Aren't you 2 bored of it now?

Out of interest, and this in no way indicates that I want to be involved in this little back-and-forth, which "specialists" have you heard refer to "little man syndrome" and what were they specialists in?

At school, if there was a special kid, with drivel on his chin and urine on his pants that made funny noises when you poked him, would you ever tire of doing that?

Its' how I feel about Gotcha and I shall never stop poking him.

Mmmmm, G1, little.

More research required DISA

I cant do anything but laugh at that.

Oh I don't dissagree on that one. They are about as specialist as your knowledge of Rugby League.



They do however define perfectly your personality.

I'll stop poking you soon.

Oh please don't. I have been bored for weeks. I am enjoying this OCD of yours.

I think you've mistaken us for someone who cares about what happens on Humberside ....

I know where you could get some shirts ....

I'm gonna go to Walkabout for my testimonial.

Gonna have testimonial retro tracky tops too.
