I was more think of him having played for about half a season - not sat in the stands watching

While I never got the signing of an expensive 80 minute hooker who does exactly the same thing as Diskin does already (only quicker and more accurately) leaving Diskin to do what exactly? Play back up? Thank gawd Buderus picked up those injuries.

Maybe they want rid? It does strike as strange ploy. there is no doubt that Buderus on paper is a better option than Diskin, but they are very similar, and not a pair like Cunningham/Roby.

Having said that, the PTB this season seem to be significantly slower than last season, maybe this is being slowed by refs/coaches to allow our gamke to become less focussed on quick plays, and more focused on skill.

If so, the likes of Roby could find their effectiveness cut dramatically.

Roby didn't seem to find his effectiveness cut dramatically in the 2 matches against Leeds.

Roby even scores Cunningham's tries V Leeds these days.

Cheers.................Roby + Cunningham compliment each other, not really sure Doskin and Buderus do...but time will tell, hope i'm wrong.

thats why leeds where testing out having them both playing at once, one either side of the pitch, at the start of the year.
but as our forwards have gone hiding at the minute, its not the best opportunity to carry a hooker in the second row. even i do think diskin would go well in the second row, since he seems to likes playing 'look at me i'm hard'*

*for those who don't know, this is where you try bump as many defenders off as possible in a row/game. so rather then breaking the first tackle, and then passing to support players or going forward, you turn around and run straight at another defender, see if you can bump them off too.

He needs to get much better IMO – at the moment he offers nothing more than Disko and TBH Matt was a better player in the first couple of games of the season (although, like the rest of the Leeds squad, his form has dropped off of late)

i think he offers more than disco out of dummy half already mate!! i also have been impressed with his defence.

for mine he was probably our best against salford(but that wasnt hard)

When he came on against Salford he lead the kick chase every time. The guy played his nuts off. His little break was a good play and we ill see that more often in the games to come. He was constantly talking and organising the defence. Buderus will be great for us.

So he should be.

He should also be able to platt snot, for the amount of coin he's on.

Million pounds a year. Honest. It's why Smith won't re-sign. Thinks he should get same. Donald doesn't. He's happy with his half mill.

True story.
