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.

Possibly not a good choice of words there.

Do people think he is delibritly getting injured for a break!?! he is a proffesional sportsman and he sounds desperate to play give it time

Buderus has had a number of serious injuries over recent years - I am sure that was taken into consideration when his salary was negotiated. Unlike some on here I think he is somewhat behind Ronaldo in the dosh stakes - in fact he is likely to be behind one or two in the Leeds dosh stakes.

On a positive what an opportunity for McShane

Toopi was much underated. Often slagged off for his defence but I thought he really bolsered our defence down that side in his time at HEadingley.

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.

I was being sarcastic

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.
