Doesn't sound like a season ticket selling signing, but shall we give the guy a chance before we all write him off?

Very well put.

Leeds Rhinos do produce enough English quality in Danny McGuire, Rob Burrow, Kevin Sinfield and Lee Smith to name a few. Them four Leeds Rhinos players alone would fit into any team world over in rugby league as would many English rugby league players we have over here.

Gold Coast Titans whom are currently residing third in the league which is probably thanks to Brett Delaney been in the squad. I bet you can find a ton more worse players than Brett about in the NRL. I’ll judge him at the end of his time at the Rhinos rather than the beginning.

Its fine to be disappointed that Leeds haven’t signed a player of your standards but your been very harsh in judging him before he even goes on the field for us. Personally as for the Youngsters coming through in the last few years at Rhinos the only ones I’ve been impressed by are Ryan Hall and Luke Burgess.

The rest for me are just good enough to make the team and do the job. As long as we are top or the tree or near it I don’t care who wears the blue and amber for Leeds!



Nope but this is where I think peoples dislike for clubs signing ‘average’ overseas players stem from. Placing the blame game on the clubs hands is wrong IMO. Besides England as a team didn’t turn up in that competition. If we did I recon it could have been a whole different storyline. Lets wait and see what happens in this quad nations.

In this case its a season ticket reducer, its a shocking signing, absolutely pointless, he is way off the likes of Watkins, Ratu and Gibson.


My mate has just emailed me from Aus and he hasnt stopped laughing since the news broke!!

I'd like to see Ratu given a shot, played well last week against Wigan and i thought he ran hard and played well tonight when he came on.

I like your observation about Godden who we signed from Hunter Mariners.

I disagree about Lyon, he was out of the game remember and the point your making holds no water as neither of those players had the "star" status of Buderus.

The guy cant be too bad, he starts every game for the Titans who are 3rd in the NRL and he played for NSW City in the City-Country game last year and he's only 23 years old.

anyone else confirmed this signing ?

Who's the promising player?

Hmm makes you wonder how he gets a game for the Titans if he's do crap?

How many times you seen him play, out of interest?

Lee Smith.

I take the views of people who watch him week in week out, thats good enough for me, hes a very poor mans Aspinwall.


However keep believing.

Can't fault that but lets be honest an nrl coach who picks him week in week out with his team 3rd in the league should know a little more about a players abillity than your "mate"( like you've got one) in aus.

looks like he has a jaw like fielden,if you go onto utube king hit ko.
