Looks like a waste of a lot of good money to me. Diskin is quality and can play 60 minutes, surely you have back up for 20?

Deluded - just think how many tackles Diskin would miss if he played 60 mins a game - Buderus is a different class to Diskin even in his decrepit current state.

Hopefully he will come really good over the next few weeks - whilst on the salary thing - he wasn't probably going to be offered a contract at Newcastle so that reduces his bargaining power a little!!

How many does Buderus miss by not playing? Deluded.

I agree but we need another good centre, Ablett is not very good playing centre he is better in the second row.

I'd like to see him get a start tonight, I think he's progressing really well and getting used to the lads' playing styles.

Diskin has been very poor lately, McShane must wonder what he's got to do to get in the team.

i agree, the fans go on saying "he is on this, he is on that" just presuming he is over here for the Money. I suspect Buderus has made a lot of money playing for the Knights, maybe some Aussie's come over here for the experience, culture and chapter in the familys life. Yes most come over for the £££££ but not all do. The fans can only speculate.

The only reason old aussies come over is to supplement their pension - experience and culture.......... humbug!!

Thought he'd been offered a one year deal at Newcastle on reduced term whereas Leeds offered him a guaranteed two

My MOM today, brilliant break and distribution.

Just like to tribute this is my 16-24th post, it's quite a special few numbers for me and probably for most other Leeds Rhinos fans.

A really good point from DB tonight disco had just put in a big hit and DB was right behind him tapping him on the back. Thought we looked good when they were both on the pitch.

He was outstanding tonight, my MOM too.
