Anyone named King is a winner from birth,

More than likely.ill be interested to see how he goes at the giants this season.

Buderus

I never really thought Buderus hit the heights with us if im honest. Grothe only played 16 games for us and while he was very good Tony Currie was better for Leeds around that time.



All opinions though.

100% agree lot’s of Aussies, Kiwis etc have played for Leeds/Rhinos over the years and it’s a matter of personal choice and how old you are and how good your memory is. I saw in my option the best fullback ever to play for Leeds Ken Thornett and probably the best fullback to play for the Rhinos Brent Webb then what about ET and there plenty of other great players so to say Kylie was the best was just the best in one person’s opinion.

Tony Currie along with Brad Godden are my benchmarks for left centre at Leeds. Obviously Mr Senior was pretty handy to.

Correct it is opinions , in my opinion Buderus was an absolute star for us !

Yeah and in most peoples opinions he was. I genuinely never saw it in him at all. He was a great player one of the best 9s of all time and a super bloke but i can never remember him been that great for us.

What was his best game for us?

To me Buderus wasn't the most exciting to watch, but he was technically perfect in every aspect of the game. Particularly his tackling and passing techniques. His passes from DH always got the first receiver moving forward to run onto the ball. I think that took a bit for players to get used to, as so many received the ball as a flat pass.

As with many imports, his first year was slow (and injury hit), but after that he was immense!

Absolutely agree with the above his distribution from dummy half was as good as I have seen and it took a period of time for our forwards to adjust. He didn't do the flashy stuff but was a real leader and in the modern era only behind Cameron Smith in terms of career achievement

Spot on.
He was faultless in what he did - passing, tackling, organising, reading of the game.
Not big, not fast, but used his physical attributes to the absolute maximum effect.

I remember having seen him play for Australia a few times and when we signed him I was a bit underwhelmed, but after a few games I realised how wrong I was.
He was pure class - my favourite import ever.
We just didn’t have him long enough!
