This is great news. Especially for any young player in the Leeds system that ever had plans to play at hooker.

Come on Freaky even you have to admit Buderus had another good couple of NRL seasons in him if he'd decided to stay. You can't complain about rep players of his calibre tasking the place of a British kid surely?

I'd expect the games of Matt Diskin and Paul McShane to develop considerably whilst working with arguably the best hooker of the modern era.

His last two seasons in the NRL were average. Watch Newcastle, they wont miss him.


SL needs the best of the best, not the best of a few years ago before he got injured and over taken by better players.
