That was funny

worrall went very well, for his 6 minutes

I thought Webb looked dangerous he is starting to get back to top form. Buderus is really slotting in well now his distribution is what you expect of one of the kangaroos all time best hookers.

question is where does this leave diskin. Buderus can clearly do the full 80, and at a better level than Diskin reaches in general.

Heading for the exit door.
I know he's been a good player for us but Buderus is a world class hooker and he's played the full 80 for most of his career. I don't see the point in putting Diskin on the bench just to give him a space in the team when we dont need him, Buderus plays 80 minutes and put another forward on the bench IMO.
We've got Buderus till the end of next season so i would get rid of Diskin and bring young McShane through gradually.

It would have been funnier still had we hit the 50

Brilliant.

Absolutely brilliant.

Leeds have gambled with only one recognised hooker in the squad for several years (incidently that hooker being an integral part in 3 championship winning sides). This coach, the previous one and the Chief Exec have identified this risk as unacceptable so sourced one of the worlds best hookers in order to run a squad with 2 quality hookers.

That policy has been in place for only 4 or so months and has not yet started to pay full dividends (both senior hookers have been injured this season though, had you noticed that?).

Nevertheless, you wish to discard Diskin (who we don't need?) and run with Buderus (whose career with the club will end abruptly at the end of his contract) and an unproven junior player.

God help our club if some of the fans on here got control.

This is you

The question is what to do with Diskin now that Buderus is playing the full eighty?

Spelling a fit Buderus at hooker during games appears counter-productive.

Have you not realised how it works on here?

Player A plays well. Idiots on here proclaim him the greatest ever.

Player A plays badly. Idiots on here proclaim him the worst ever and demand we sell him or buy a replacement.

Player A doesn't play but his replacement plays well. Idiots on here demand player A never gets back into team ad is sold.

Got the bike in and everything

You're right but so too is tvoc. There's no way we should be looking to get rid of Disko, but I get the feeling he may initiate a move for himself, if he is continually pushed out of the 17 (which IMO he should be).

It's a serious question and one that will need addressing sooner or later.

Diskin nor Buderus are what you'd term impact hookers. Buderus is clearly the better option to start, which leaves Diskin where?

In the seventeen in a different role - interchange second row

or ?

Is it not more about the team than the player?

Serious quesions here. Have we looked anything like any good with using both Buderus and Diskin in the same squad?

Did we not play our best Rugby of the season without Diskin in the squad?

Did we not win two championships without the two hookers scenario?

Was not the last time we looked so poor around the ruck area, when we went with a Diskin/Millard combination. Coincidentally the two hookers.
