How can people have the opinion that Liam Hood is going to be a success when he hasn't even played in the 1st team yet?, Potential is only half the battle, I'll wait and see his performances before i judge him.

Buderus continues to prove his worth and thankfully he is contracted at Leeds for 2012 also at this point.

An outstanding individual within a team sport.

I want to see McShane make the sort of impression he's been making recently against a Saints, Wigan, Wire or Huddersfield before I'm totally convinced as well, despite how extremely promising these last few weeks have been.

Not sure why some people want to continually talk about Diskin as though he was barely average after his injury. We would never have won three in a row without a half decent hooker. It is after all one of the key positions in the side.

Simple!



Which reads to me as "Buderus cannot ever be considered as good as Diskin unless he wins 4 grand finals"

My sentiments exactly.

For those interested, my views are; "Not as well".


I totally understand where G1 is coming from, but let's be honest, how on earth was Buderus ever going to live up to expectations?! Imagine when Messi is 30 and he's won everything there is to win, captained his country, and been the top of his game for 10 years, then he signed for another club because he wanted a challenge. What would you be expecting him to do? It's unrealistic to have that high an expectation of him, he was bound to let you down. Of course Buderus is past his best, did you see his best? How on earth could you still be expecting him to play like that? I think you've set your expectations far too high, there's nothing wrong with having high expectations, but having unrealistic expectations is setting yourself up for disappointment.

Abso-bloodly-lutely. And that, at the end of the day, is the only point that really matters to me.

Then I suggest you're not very good at reading because that is not what it says at all.

Then why is McShane having such an influence? Why did Diskin have such an influence in our title winning season of 2004?

Something Peaock said Diskin was oneof the best at.

His defence is outstanding. Why do you think I overlook that?
This is where we differ. It's not tennis. I want to see the team acheive success, not brilliant individuals. This isn't the 1980s.

G1 - You've just applauded "Not sure why people are talking about Diskin", then when Sal has mentioned Buderus' role at the club, you've compared it to Diskin's?!



He's gone mate, the sooner you realise it, the sooner we can move on. I know he hurt you, but time is a healer.



P.S. I miss Scott Donald. Perhaps we could start an "ex-Rhinos Anonymous" support group.

tvoc could join representing Jodie Broughton.

Any other takers?

I miss Rob Ackerman's shoulder charges.
