Don't agree with dropping diskin and bringing in mcshane. I personally and i doubt many others know how well he is playing, and i think suddenly dropping diskin would majorly disrupt the team. I think Mcshane is a real Gem that like Watkins should be carefully developed. I don't think throwing him into the deep end will help. There is plenty of time. If Diskin continues this run of bad form yes very well bring in mcshane but not ATM imo.

Why do you dislike Buderus?

Thought buderus played well we are seeing what he can do. If he keeps playing well and play like he does in the origin games he will have been a good buy for the club.

If Buderus is going to play for long spells as we know he can, it's hardly throwing McShane in at the deep end by giving him 20 mins a game.

How is McShane going to prove he can cut it at SL level without playing SL?

If that was to happen then Diskin might as well look for a new club?

In an ideal world he'd stay, leaving us with a Diskin McShane tandem for 2011.

Nobody is suggesting playing McShane every week just yet are they?

I am certainly not, just pointing out that it's difficult to get experience without playing.

2011 is only a season and a half away. what do we do then if we don't have Buderus or Diskin? Buy another top class aussie hooker to spell with McShane?

What are Saints going to do without Cunningham?

Roby's only been in the team as regular for two full seasons. He's got his experience from playing. Next year he will be Saints number 9.

Funny because if McShane was Buderus number 2 for next two seasons, it would be a similar situation.
