its all a con its a dirty tactic used by leeds, he is playing i spoke to his sister yesturday

[iDirty[/i?

More reasons why he should have been given the number 14 shirt, not number 9, hes going to be injury prone with that knee for all his time now, we wont see much of him imo, and he should be gutted, after targetting this match.

Yup, the shirt number really is that important. You can tell from Diskin's early season performances that he's not bothered anymore.......

He misses two games early on through injury and all of a sudden hes a crock and no better than Brett Mullins. Give the guy atleast half a season before making these presumptions.

Danny Buderus = Bradley Clyde?

FFS I hope not

Bit early for stating that.

Regardless of results, we have not been impressive thus far this season, although early doors. The oppossition thus far has not been the best.

Hopefully you are right on this, but not convinved we can be that confident yet.

It must be a huge blow to the club and squad to be missing two big signing major players that you fully intended to be integral to the team.

Still though G, i think DB's salery will be a tad more then Brett Mullins and Bradley Clyde put together.

It's good on the pitch to have Disco and Macca playing well but on the books it's a lot of Money out and not a lot of game time.

It's only 6 weeks though i'd rather him get injured now and be fit come August time!

Fair play, its' not like we've won the title 3 out of 5 seasons with Diskin as our only recognised hooker so it was a fairly rash statement I guess.

Oh, hang on........................

Dunneman helped out in 2004 though to be fair!

Aye, and tansey in 2007 and 2008. Neither are hookers though.

You're right about the money aspect but, like you say, its' early days.

Half the season will have gone by the time he gets fit...


I'm praying he doesn't turn out to be another bradley clyde.

The amount of injuries we're getting is worrying at such an early stage. Are we paying the price for 2 long succsesful seasons (internationals, wcc, gf's etc)?

Clyde was totaly different though to be fair.

He was coming into to "Replace" Mozza DB has come in to add depth to the squad.

How was Bradley Clyde different????
NRL legend who was the wrong side of 30 when we got hold of him,on a Megabucks contract and was basically knackered.
Do you see where I'm going with this..............

No it won't. He's due to miss 4 weeks. He'd be back by the end of March on that prognosis. Nothing like half the season.



Probably mostly suffering the effects of having a lot of internationals who have little off season if anything. On the bright side, a few players are now having an enforced off season, which could be handy later on.

sounds like a bit of health tourism to me...

Mullins arrived injured having not disclosed this information to Leeds until his arrival. Clyde is the more apt comparison.

Could be worse...

Buderus = Paul Bell?

Buderus = Nathan Picci?

Buderus = Tiger Woods


No not the cash, both have knee problems.

I suppose we were due some bad luck with our overseas signings as apart from Mark 'sicknote' O'Neil in recent times our success rate has been pretty good,Webb,Donald,Kylie.

Now with the Eastwood no show and Buderus only playing half a game singe getting here and now out for several more weeks, this years efforts in the overseas market are looking like more of a throwback to the Clyde and Mullins and Ben Walker era

Lauitiiti's knee (and now hamstring) have been a bit hit and miss lately as well.

Toopi?

I wish I'd have said that.

I think we should wait and see how his re-hab goes before we label him another aussie crock!!
Lets face it with a 4 wk re-hab he should be back for the start of april and all being well he'll have a big part still to play for the other 7mths of the season.
If it does go t#ts up then i guess we'll see another early release ala toopi.
I think GH will handle the situation accordingly.

For crying out loud, the bloke has tweaked his knee, not had a leg taken off. Give him a break.
