Bluey comes over as a nice sort of a bloke that you would be happy to have as a favorite uncle. However I have to say I don't like his playing style and IMO the team has gone backwards under his leadership. Yes I know we have back to back GF but I think that was down to the players and not the coach. So let him go I say.

This could rumble on forever but i guess until one or the other plays a consistent string of games playing 65-70 minutes or more we will never know.

I personally believe Buderus' form whilst Diskin was injured was very good, but even then he was substituted.

To go back step Batley posted that his defefnce could not be good as he gave away penalties. Well i disagree, i am referrring to the actual act of defending. his line speed is immense he is always the first one out of the line at the PTB as all good Australians are. When he gets to the player his impact is stronger (for a smaller guy), he tackles around the legs, he rarely misses.

I watched him off the ball on Saturday and his workrate was unbelieveable, i also watched Diskin off the ball and he was ambling around in a daze.

The OP stated the Leeds performance went down hill after the substitution. it did.

That may be true and I have more than a doubt about the bloke. However, the day the players start calling the shots in any club, is usually the day it all strarts going to rat .

Have Quins not finished lower in each subsequent season of his tenure?

......or perhaps you could stay clear of the thread if you don't like it.

Just a thought.

You pathetic waste of oxygen.



The Leeds colours are blue and amber.

I've seen Buderus 3 times this year, he has been garbage but still 100% better than Diskin, that sums it up pretty well I reckon, as for David you're mental.

i'd have roby in a flash!!!!!!!!!

for me both have been dissapointing. buderus has been good but not spectacular and diskin has had his poorest ever season.
it's obvious the two hooker system doesn't suit either one and the coach should grow some balls and make a decision which one to play.
however after speaking to some on here, who i won't name, who know a player or two i think it's time to have a change at the top.
i'm increasingly dissallusioned with blueys tactics, or lack of. he has been fantastic and he will go down in the clubs history. however i feel a change would suit both the club and coach at this time

I have no inside knowledge from the club, but if there is disharmony in the club, what chance McDermott taking over

This is an opinion worth listening to. Batley has wielded no axes against either player. In fact during the course of the season he and I have disagreed over Buderus's influence in specific games when he has praised him.

That a poster like Batley, someone who doesn't post frequently and rarely gets into the silly spats that occur on this board, and someone who has felt free to disagree with me on many issues and on many occasions, has reached this conclusion about Buderus speaks volumes for me.

As for those who have marvelled at watching a player like Buderus then I recommend tennis. I come to watch the team and the team has looked eons better with Diskin as the main rake in 2004, 2007, 2008 and indeed 2009.

Your argument holds no water, Australia, NSW and Newcastle looked significantly better with Buderus at 9 rather than Diskin, so what.

Neither does your bladder. See a Urologist.

Translation: i have been exposed and will come back with some witty riposte and hope nobody notices.

It didn't need translating. It wasn't Arabic.

But I'm glad you found it witty. You must be used to your genitalia being the butt of jokes.

Oh I'm not sure about that, one never grows weary of the horse jokes.

I bet you added that "just a thought," as you scuttled back behind Emma ya poisonous wee dwarf!









Aye, only because it agrees with yours!

Remind us again G1 where it is you live....

What relevance is that?

Are Quins now in better shape as a club than they were before he went there? Have Quins now stopped their dependence on overseas players? Have Quins now not only introduced their own youngsters, but actually produced from the London area? Didn't Quins put out a team of entirely English players last season yet not one other club in Super League did the same?

McDermott has performed wonders at that club, regardless of the results. Did you not say that Potter had done a fantastic job at Saints even if he becomes the only coach in the last umpteen years there to win nothing? and you were right about that, because Potter has done a fantastic job.

Go on then .... Enlighten me. Seems I still have much to learn about some of the character on here : )

I can tell you where Batley Rhino doesn't live. Batley.

Nice assumption you jumped to though.

One of my good sources has told me that Diskin is on his way to Huddersfield next season.

Well that solves that then. We'll have Lunt! Out of interest, now you've enlightened us that both Ali and Disko are to leave the club, are any of the 'super seven' actually going to be at Leeds next year?

I wouldn't be unhappy with Robinson as back-up hooker and competition for scrum-half.

not sure i'll be worrying about that. If it happens then good luck to him, and a poor move by leeds maybe.

Aye, I can just see Luke Robinson getting fed up of starting every week at Huddersfield and opting instead to be a bench player at Leeds...

If they're signing Diskin perhaps he wouldn't be starting every week?
