I wonder what Buderus thought about playing against 'the best hoooker in the game' (his own words, BTW) today?

Did he mean to say it with a triple o in hooker?

No. He was an absolute pleasure to talk to and a true legend of the game.

At least we were on the same side winning by 4 in the other game eh?

Give him time - a lot wrote Donald off his first season. Just hope the bloke has finished with his bad run of injuries and can concentrate on getting match fit now

Don't have a problem with the bloke and he probably will end up making a real impact. Just don't think today was the day to start back on the road to match fitness. To be fair he did okay but I wouldn't say he set HQ alight.

Thought Saints were miles better than us today. We are looking a little short on real strike power. I have thought for a couple of seasons that our back line was a bit 'thin' and without Senior (who certainly can't perform week in week out these days although I thought he went pretty well today) we look really ordinarly across the threequarters. I can see us getting caught out a fair few times this year - just like we were today.

Think we missed Smith and Bailey and I really think we are missing a like for like replacement (in class terms) for Ellis. Ali looked anything but fit and Burgess was a bit flat/out of his depth. Ablett looked good and we should probably have had him in the centres...Gibson and Watkins? Not nearly ready for this level. Gibson probably can make the grade but he is by no means the finished article.

At the final whistle he gave the king a huge hug. SHows the respect he has for the king and vice versa.

Buderus didn't have a great game today but niether did any other Leeds player. He wasn't any worse than Diskin and as long as he stays clear of injuries will only improve. I dont think it was a bad move from McClennan to play him.
