| Quote ="exiledrhino"To me Buderus wasn't the most exciting to watch, but he was technically perfect in every aspect of the game. Particularly his tackling and passing techniques. His passes from DH always got the first receiver moving forward to run onto the ball. I think that took a bit for players to get used to, as so many received the ball as a flat pass.
As with many imports, his first year was slow (and injury hit), but after that he was immense!'"
Absolutely agree with the above his distribution from dummy half was as good as I have seen and it took a period of time for our forwards to adjust. He didn't do the flashy stuff but was a real leader and in the modern era only behind Cameron Smith in terms of career achievement |

Spot on.
He was faultless in what he did - passing, tackling, organising, reading of the game.
Not big, not fast, but used his physical attributes to the absolute maximum effect.
I remember having seen him play for Australia a few times and when we signed him I was a bit underwhelmed, but after a few games I realised how wrong I was.
He was pure class - my favourite import ever.
We just didn’t have him long enough! |

I got my wife a NSW Jersey with his name on it. She was most confused to open it again months later as a Christmas present, but I knew the Payroll women at the Rhinos and she got Buderus to sign it for her.

Buderus was a fantastic player.
We really were blessed throughout the Golden Generation era with a mix of once in a generation home grown talent and some very classy signings during that time we signed

Totally agree re Buderus. Technically brilliant in all aspects. What would Gale and Lui give to get that kind of ball from acting half? If I remember rightly he gave two absolutely world class performances in the 2011 challenge cup and play off semis. On a similar note I also really admired Merrin, who despite being stuck with in of the worst teams in memory, performed with quiet excellence just about every week. Put Merrin in any team from 2004 to 2015 and he would have knocked it out of the park.

Yep, that’s the formula.
Homegrown talent - Kev, Rob, Mags, JJB, Hall, Ablett
+
Top quality imports - Webb, Buderus, Ali, Kylie, Delaney
+
Astute British signings - Peacock, Ellis, Senior

Success! |

Ignoring what happened in the end with him, I thought Segeyaro was a different class during his short time with us. And honourable mention to Paul Aiton, another 9 I rated highly.

I agree about Segeyaro. He was a massive part of our late regular season mini run, which included wins against two of the top three. It secured an easy draw in the playoffs, helping us to stay up.. |

Without doubt his best moment in a Leeds shirt but he only played about half of that semi. He also had a terrible game in the final, the entire team did to be fair.
Like others have said as a hooker hes an all time great, up there with Cam Smith and Elias. A truly great player but Leeds never really saw the best of him for me. I think breaking his leg at Wigan in his 1st season when he was beginning to find his feet at the club really set him back. He was good, a brilliant pro and a top bloke, but we didnt get his best form.
Having said that, my god, i wish he was at 9 for us now.

Robbie Mears was another good number 9 for us, but I’d go as far to say Danny Buderus was the best hooker to play in Super League never mind just at Leeds. |

Course they were. Buderus had immense career in Oz, and was a legend of the game. We only saw glimpses of that at Leeds, but he was really good in the playoffs in 2011 before he left so some fans have convinced themselves he was a god for us....... |

Great player no doubt about it and we no doubt did not see him at his peak but more than that he was a genuinely nice unassuming guy. Met him in a bike shop of all places buying a bike for one of his kids. No edge no ego just a lovely guy!
Looking at the video links there area few players in those teams that we could do with now.

IMO Buderus was a better player than Cunningham or Roby, but all 3 were great players and would be in the top 5 hookers to play in Super League. |

Buderus was the best hooker to play in super league, better than Ruby and Cunningham.
But I mean that based on his quality over his career, not necessarily in Super League.
I agree, we probably didn’t see his best years, but I saw enough to know he’s the best hooker that’s played in SL.
Similar to looking back at Sterling, Kenny, Grothe and Meninga.
We didn’t see much of them over here.
But we know that they were the best. |

Anyway this King looks a reasonable prospect...
I’m thinking this signing might be a good shout; Mik, Zane, Tommy and King not a bad combination.
Tell you one thing, there is some competition for places in various positions now. Our bench selection will be intriguing.
