He was working in property of his own, not for anyone else. I would have thought the expectations may well have been different.




He was given too much game time at Leeds last season, that was the problem. Now he will go to playing 15 minute stints behind another Aussie who was Bradfords star man last season.

I agree with most of this and that it does show good ambition that he is willing to move to further his career. I can't see your point regarding "Aussie crock". IMO he is far better than diskin and we looked a lot faster and dynamic with Buderus than we did with diskin on the field last year, and didn't get as much game time as he was not good enough. The only mistake was not playing buderus longer. We also have two very good young hookers who would have also been challenging diskin this year. I still like diskin and will give him a good welcome my only point is think you are being harsh on BUderus.

You're just annoyed that it's not a face painting business.

You're familiar with his business interests then and now are you? Your post suggest you aren't.




I apologise for referring to the Aussie crock an Aussie crock. he's been a picture of health and fitness since joining us. No, really.

Damn that pesky Diskin for taking away precious game time away from Buderus. Imagine how much faster and dynamic we would have been in 2009 had Diskin not come into the team as they went unbeaten from July en route to their third consecutive GF win. You know, not being Dynamic and fast on those October nights in 2009, 2008, 2007 and 2004 has really taken the shine off my memories.

Still, I have my memories of the dynamism and pace the team showed in the glorious 2010 campaign with the Aussie crock getting the lions share of game time. Pesky Diskin can never take those away from me, like he took precious game minutes away from the the darling of Headingley, that sexy, pacy dynamic Aussie crock.

This Bulls fan is delighted that we have signed a guy who is smart enough to recognise he needs a future after the game, and something sensible to invest his spare time in other than his games console, beer and a settee to lounge on all day.

You get plenty of free time as a professional RL player. He's making better use of some of that than many do. Good lad.

Good for him - I'm even more chuffed we signed him now.

Good job the likes of Sinfield, Peacock and McGuire stepped up to the mark - helped to mask the ineffective contribution of some of the team mates!!

Let's face it Ian Kirke has won as many rings in the last 4 years as Matt Diskin?

Can't believe this has turned into a Disco is better than "some old issue crock" debate again! They play against each other in a couple of weeks, let battle commence.
As for Discos other job, good on him. There are loads of players who own / run other businesses or carry on studying. Can't see it affecting his play.

I just happened to come across Matt during my property hunt in Aug/Oct last year, just a couple of days after the CC final loss. He seemed to have a lot of time on his hands, every time I asked for a property viewing or to exchange documents he seemed to have a very open schedule. What do people actually think a rugby players typical day involves? Training the house down working the 9 till 5? Hardly.

What about Burrows Physiotherapy business? When will his commitment be in question? What about when JJB, Willie and Sinny we're doing their sports science degree? Which I would imagine was pretty demanding. Ok there is nothing like been a part time director of 'a fast growing company' but come on...

Yeah, the Aussie crock that made 23 appearances last season, more than diskin infact.

I agree that Diskin has been an excellent servant to the club.

But to credit him for the '04,'07,'08 and '09 victories and lament Buderus for the '10 campaign is ridiculous in the extreme. Now, I suspect that you were using this gross oversimplification with your tongue firmly in cheek, but you should remember that not everyone on here is as intuitive as me.

They haven't signed for another club so it's not an issue. As soon as they're not Rhinos the fekkwitts will turn on them.
