Danny Buderus is here on a two year contract which IMO he has more than made up for with his performances over this season. Just read on the Leeds Rugby website he’s going to be out for six weeks plus and it’ll be a race against time to get him into the play offs.

If anything he could be recovered by next season or near the play offs this season. At the end of the day injuries are part and parcel of the sport and we’ve got to accept that. But one thing is for sure and that’s when Danny Buderus is on the pitch he gives 100% and makes us a better team. To say realest Buderus now is lunacy IMO when he’s got such a short term injury.

Toopi on the other hand had a nine month lay off and we managed to fill his position just fine. This was three games after he’s just recovered from another injury sustained in the WCC. Danny Buderus on the other hand played 16 games after recovering from his long term injury that stopped him from representing us at the start of the season.

Big difference between the two I hope you see here. Hopefully Buderus will see out his contract with a lot more games that he can manage. But if he gets injured again I can’t see him signing a new deal.



If anything should be cracked down on it should be name calling and belittling. But that of course is just my opinion and I doubt it’ll ever happen!

Not really Just proves what an idiot you are,


HTH

Sorry but I think Danny Buderus has been fantastic since he arrived at Leeds. I feel honoured to have him in the squad. Although we lost yesterday, he was the best player we had by miles.

And that is fair enough. But to give abuse to someone because your opinion differs from theirs on a forum is TBH, downright stupid.

And when did I say it was ok to give abuse? I certainly don't agree with it. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

I disagree with the opening poster.

But, as a Leeds fan I'm embarrassed at the level of abuse this poster has received for posting an opinion. This board is for posting opinions and no matter how much you disagree it's really not on dishing personal abuse.

However, that is normal service on here (and a large part of why I read but didn't psot for so many years) and I can see why people come and go.

What do people gain from this?

I didn't say that you did. I was just continuing with the theme of the thread.

I disagree and that is a very strange comment.

There have been bigger mistakes by Leeds in the SL era than letting Buderus go.

Letting him go would be way down the order of mistakes.

Gosh - I didnt expect such a response, people seem to get very emotional about things.

Just to clarify -

1)I am a rhinos fan, and have been for 21 years.
2) Danny has been one of the best hookers in the world.

However - I go back to my point. Having blown the budget on Danny, our rate of return has been poor. Whilst all signings are potentially risky, he does seem injury prone, and I simply don't think we have or will, get value for money on him.

I would prefer to strengthen part the squad where we need it - using the cash to sign an international back rower and centre.

Take the emotion out it. Players are assets of a business, nothing else.

However, I doubt that those readers who post personal abuse on boards would really understand the principal.

I think the OP raises an interesting discussion, how many minutes have we got out of Buderus? The squad is pretty thin and we need players who can play a lot of games

But I dont think we really need to save the money as we arent spending the full cap anyway

In terms of finances, is it really a wise investment to send one of your best players out on the field injured? Probably not in this case but it can lead to even worse injuries

Danny isn't injury prone, and we've had plenty of games this year where he's been the difference, although I'm not sure if that's just him being fantastic or Disco being off the boil, as he's looked under par whenever I've seen him.

He's here for next year (at least), and, as others have said, should be fit again around playoff time. I certainly want him to stay one. What's more important at the moment is sorting out our discipline, and the poor defense that allows opposition teams to capitalise on this.

Well done on not stooping to the level of some of those who replied to you.

The op is matt diskin.

And there you have it, the one thing you pull posters up for doing you just go and do it, you're not very clever are you?

And to think children depend on you to give them a start in life, teachers, the only profession left to those incapable of holding down a real job!!

All joking aside buderus has been quality this year and IIRC he has missed no more games than webb yet no-one mentions ditching him.
If it was a knee re-construction i'd see yer point but we'd be crazy to even consider ditching DB because he has a leg fracture!
P.s If you aren't gareth hock do you socialise with him?
