But this is Gareth's agenda, this is what he is niggling at - Gareth cannot do with "over paid imports" for one and really high quality players for two.

Gareth hates flash Harry's who can do brilliant stuff with ease - he much prefers someone who makes the most of his ability even though it isn't top quality.

Herein lies the Buderus problem for Gareth, by any objective notion Buderus adds value to any side simply because of his ability - but that grates at Gareth, something he finds very difficult to compartmentalise so he continues he tirade against Buderus.

Only someone with an agenda would even attempt at a comparison of the career achievements of Diskin and Buderus. To suggest Buderus can never be compared to Diskin until he has achieved what Diskin has in the inferior ESL defies most people's logic.

Most just admire what a great player Buderus is and how fortunate we are as supporters to be able to watch one of the greatest players of the last 20 years on a weekly basis - but not Gareth?

fingers crossed for Danny tonight!!!

I was in the RFL Disciplinary/Board room on Saturday morning - the biscuits were a bit poor TBH.

One match Ban

Must appeal that, citing the spear on eastwood no fine tho

should have kicked the tw*t. Would have got away with it then

www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague ... Leeds.html I'm suprised to be honest, i didn't expect a ban from the RFL with the playoffs underway unless it was so bad they didn't have a choice. I'd expect an appeal. It was on of those boarderline ones for me. Dangerous without a doubt but i don't think it was intended.

He'll appeal and get it wiped out on the basis that it was out of character, he has a good disciplinary record and he showed remorse at the time. Shouldn't be a problem.

APPEAL!

I have been a fan (not fanboy as you put it) of Diskin throughout his career but know recognise that we have in Buderus a far better hooker. I know Diskin will not let us down and wish himm all the best in the semi.

WHAT OF LOAD OF BALLS!

Fooking disgrace. Absolutely nonsense from the rfl. How many of those do we see every week? I remember one at Headingley not so long back on a Leeds player (think it was Disko) ...it was a shocking tackle, a hell of a lot worse than Bedsys, yet sweet fa was done about it.

What about the spear tackle on Eastwood? Eastwood went vertical and then some, nothing for that.

Well done,

He hasn't even been Leeds best player for the last two years.

Did you drool over Andy Gregory's Leeds career, given what he'd done before he came to Leeds?

I wish I had witnessed Buderus when he was one of the greatest players in the game (actually I did when he came over with Aus) because the Buderus at leeds has been far, far removed from that.

No Peacock
No Buderus
No McGuire

2 international captains and the best half back in SL this year. Talk about backs against the wall.

OOOOPS
