Only slight ??

The man has been compromised by the silly/gutless insistence of not wanting to rock the boat by dropping Diskin; but instead letting them "share" a match. By all means keep Diskin as first choice reserve full 80 mins hooker, which they both surely are....but the present rotation interchange hooker policy has gone way past its bluddy sell by date.

I had forgotten. What I do remember is a League Leaders Shield and a 3rd consecutive GF win. That kind of god awful most fans would kill their Granny for. Not Leeds fans though eh?

I wish Catalans had been that god damn awful this season!

Don't judge us all by your standards. I luv my granny ...(although might be tempted to rough her up a bit for that elusive CC win).

I hope Buderus plays crap again today.

The epitome of what a good supporter should be. Thick and partisan. Surely you're not that ??

Are you from Cas originally?

Pretty close (geographically at least) .... Stanks.

And proud of it.

FWIW my opinion

Is Buderus and expensive extravagance? Yes, but we can afford him so why not?

Is he a better player than Diskin? Yes, but that doesn’t detract from the fact that Diskin is a great hooker as well, just not quite as good as DB.

Has Burderus been a disappointment? A little when measured against expectations, he came with such a high pedigree the expectations for him to perform were huge and I, like many others, were probably expecting a little too much of him. In reality he has not let us down by ‘normal’ standards at all – can’t remember anyone saying “…that Buderus is crap”.

Is the two hooker rotational policy working well? No, both Disking and Buderus offer very similar playing styles and rotating them or having them both on the pitch at the same time is pointless.

Would our cash have been better spent elsewhere? In hindsight yes. Too much reliance is put on JP and when he’s injured we really miss him. Another prop with Peacocks work rate would have probably been a more prudent spend.

If Buderus were to leave tomorrow it wouldn’t leave a massive hole in the squad at all and his position would be easily filled.

For the play offs without JP we cannot afford to be playing 2 hookers. Buderus is the class act and so should be first choice with Ambler also in the side and Kirke dropped if JJB & Clarkson are fit. Ali's fitness is a big risk and Eastwood has become very important

Are you suggesting Buderus plays for 80 minutes?

If so, can you provide any evidence from his career at Leeds in 2009 or 2010 to suggest he would last the game?

if he needed a short rest burrow or sinfield would drop in there
