You don't think that was just a front?

I mean, he's got less chance of getting back into the international set up than I have of shagging Cheryl Cole.

Can't see him edging past Roby or Robinson.

To be fair, has Robinson played any rugby for England at hooker?

EDIT: Looks like he started against the Aussies. I was sure he spent most of his time in the halves.

EDIT: Duplicate post.

Or Lunt. Or Sinfield.

I'm going to stick my neck on the line and say that we'll be seeing Paul McShane in an England shirt before Matt Diskin wears one again.

Funny how a change of club changes people opinion's - I think it was last year that I was shot down on here for suggesting Roby was better than Diskin; now there are 4 hookers better!

Clearly G1 will not agree

Isn't he stuck behind Heath L'Estrange in the pecking order?

Didn't Lunt end up playing most of his rugby for Huddersfield in the back row last season? Faiumu and Robinson (and possibly even Grix) were there in front of him at times.

He looks a good player, but an international class hooker?

Nail...hammer...head

And when he runs out against us at Headingley, he'll get a good reception from the fans.

Indeed and you know what, during much of that time, he was working in property. So, I still don't understand your issue. You thought this was something new he was doing because of the wording of the article. It isn't.

Diskin HAS gone to the Bulls to increase his opportunity to play international rugby. Whilst he may or may not get selected his chances of doing so are far greater if playing longer stints as the main man at Bradford, rather than playing in 15 minute stints behind the Aussie crock. Good for him for having such ambition rather than coasting out his career at Leeds.

Aussie crock? I like your postings but that's a load of knackers mate.

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.
