"We are fortunate that we have another world-class hooker in Matt Diskin, who has carried on where he left off last season with a great start to this campaign," he said.

He left off with a great performance at old trafford if you'll recall.

No surprise he has been crook for quite a while. If you will go signing these pensioners!

Yes, but maybe not quite as good as Keiron 'The Bronze Hog' Cunningham and James 'ex-Man of Steel and England's Hooking Saviour' Roby. I feel embarrassed that we won a title (Sorry, make that two) against the Entertainers with such a clear deficiency on the team sheet. How did a hooker of Diskin's standard outdo 2 modern greats? It defies belief...

I don’t know, Leeds, with their excellent youth academy, bringing over an aging Aussie crock, bad for the game I tell you. Questions must be raised why, when they have excellent prospects on the fringe of the first team, they feel the need to go for the easy option and sign an aging Aussie crock instead of putting one of their own into the firing line when perhaps they might not be ready.

Those phrases in the same paragraph?

its a luxury you can afford when you have comparatively few overseas players and a strong youth structure, when you have neither of these things it isnt

Buderus ben crocked a while? So he didn't captain at SOO level last season did he?

Diskins in top form atm. Maybe he sin't world class but hes better than most in this League & McShane looks a real prospect. Compliment these two with a fit Buderus and its a better combination that Roby & Cunningham IMO.

Too much off the old drugs bob?

You kill yourself if you keep that up.

Watching Danny Buderus against Wakefield from a Leeds point of view was like watching Andrew Johns from a Warrington fans point of view.

If he doesn’t get to play another game this season then at least I can tell future generations that I saw the great Danny Buderus pull on the Rhinos shirt.

He’s worth every penny.

is Cunningham still rated highly then?

i'd rather have Diskin personally.

Cunningham and Roby have been weighed and measured by the Leeds pack and found wanting.

Exactly

An excuse for everything haven't you you hypocrite. Personally I don't care how Leeds waste their cash or block the progression of young English players, I leave the judgemental stuff up tp folk like you For what it's worth I think he totally past it and offers nothing - unlike Winterstien who might actually play a few games. You have been conned.

"It's a luxury you can afford" listen to yourself and give your head a shake old lad.

Pure comedy gold and I think you mean it







Johns was blinding for Warrington, where as Buderus couln't even out smart
the part time bricky Wakefield put against him.

I keep reading your post and it just gets funnier, better even than Smokey's best efforts. 10/10

Diskin has been excellent this season, Roby or Cunningham are still better all the same. Diskin has plenty of time to change that and good luck to him.

3 from 3 with 3 titles in 5 years says yeah, we can afford a luxury like Buderus, im not sure which British player he is blocking the progression of considering McShanes involvement would be limited regardless of buderus

whatever helps you justify signing players not good enough for the NRL because survival is all your club is capable of is fine with me,

as long as there are clubs like wakefield with neither the infrastruture, ambition, or potential to challenge us, the easier it is for us to carry on winning these titles

I had an inkling that my post would land Smokey........

Hmmm

It's an interesting viewpoint.

Cant remember which thread it was but before the season i commented that with his history and a recent major injury buderus was likely to be injured alot, only for some loiner to get the hump with me.

I don't know about his general fitness throughout his career but the bicep tear came after we had signed him, either way things haven't started off great.

They've started out fine. We're top of the league and are the only English Club with an opportunity to win the season's 1st piece of silverware this Sunday.

Imagine how much better we'll be doing wit ha fit Buderus.

I meant for Buderus......hang on, he's sat on his a**e earning a fortune

high five's all round
