Not at all. What I wrote was plain to see. You're the one who, by his own admission, when I pointed out you'd misinterpreted what I put, said that you were responding to a point you thought I'd made in some historical posts and not responding to the point I'd made earlier in the thread.



Shall I quote my sentence and your response again?

This Sporting Life is certainly more "Grass Roots" so I can understand why you particularly would gravitate towards it. For your reference, I made no comment on the Gareth Thomas film as TBH I don't really see it having much of an impact, positive or negative, worth talking about.



My point about Gotcha, was that he and G1 have not really been best friends on here previously with G1 making numerous attempts to ridicule Gotcha, so for G1 to praise his contributions now must be quite "overwhelming" for Gotcha (who I suspect isn't in the slightest interested).

Why was there a need to put three full stops on the end of your final sentence, other than to highlight that Buderus can (in your eyes) not match the achievements of Diskin? Were you getting "wet pantied" whilst typing it? If you had only put the one full stop your point would be relevant but you didn't and therefore your "true" meaning is exposed.



You have tried to make the link between how Buderus can not be considered to be an equal of Diskin until he has the same number of Championship wins under his belt for Leeds, but that "equation" is simply untrue as the Kirke / Jones analogy proves, and now you are trying to wriggle out of it.



Put the spade down and stop digging...

err, guys... Diskin doesn't play for the Rhinos anymore. I would hope that all Leeds fans wholeheartedly support our first choice hooker throughout the season.

Sure we will....the point is that due to mis-management we have wasted at least a year (I'm being kind) of his talents persisting in the two hooker failure.

I hasten to add this was not Diskin's fault....but the enlightened on here could see the folly of the policy.



The same mis-management has also deprived us of at least one year of a very talented TWENTY TWO year old exciting back.....(and the loss of a classic young English specialist winger to the Salford Reds).



It has further deprived us of at least half a season of a natural second rower playing centre...again the more enlightened could see the folly.



The club continues to make the same mistake with Hardaker and Ambler.

Why don't you just coach the team and spare us all another wasted season.

Nah....it's much more fun to moan and lament the failings of others.

I have done. All I said was that I hoped that he could emulate the successes Diskin enjoyed. Seems that even saying that will raise the shackles of the Buderus' worshipers.

Try focusing on the words that were written rather than the punctuation at the end of the paragraph and we'll be better able to discuss what was written rather than what you think was written, or what you now say was written some time ago





Let me help. I'll clear things up. When I said "We had been hugely successful with Diskin and I hope we are as successful with Buderus. He only has 4 championships to get there..."



What I meant was "We had been hugely successful with Diskin and I hope we are as successful with Buderus. He only has 4 championships to get there"



Does it make it any clearer without the extra full stops? No comparison of the players individual abilities there whatsoever. Just an expression of a hope that Buderus can help us achieve what Diskin did.





You used three full stops. Does that mean you think Diskin is a better hooker than Buderus?

Shackles. That made me smile.



If I had to highlight three from a great team display it would be:



1 - Kylie

2 - Buderus

3 - Sinfield

What utter bull$hit.



It is due to this management that we are arguably the best run club in SL, and the most successful on the field over the last 7 years.



Yes, Diskin and Buderus didn't work. Having said that we were only trying to do what every other club was doing with 2 hookers. Should we have signed Buderus? maybe not, but if helps us to two more titles in the next two years I daresay opinion on that will change.



Are you seriously suggesting it was a mistake to let BJB go to Harlequins? Compare his performances on the wing in 2009 and that of last week plus how comforatble he looked at fullback at Hull and that should be enough to show what a great decision it was by the club. He would not have gained the same exposure to first team rugby at Leeds.



Broughton. Again, are you serious? What makes you think we should have kept him? Should we also have kept Peter Fox who's had a decent run since leaving Leeds. Perhaps we could play them on the 4th and 5th wing alongside Hall, Smith and BJB. After all so many wingers is a much better use of the cap than 2 hookers.



Who would you have played at centre throughout last year? I agree Delaney looked for all the world a perfect fit for 2nd row but he also did a decent job for us at right centre all year. Now I'm unsure if you're criticising Bluey or hetherington, or both???



As for Ambler and Hardaker - on another thread I have posted my hypothetical Grand Final team. There are at least 7 players outside that 17 who would be in a lot of SL sides. This shows what depth we have. I don't think either of the above would be close to the 19 man squad if everyone was fit. Therefore they are gaining useful experience rather than playing in a poor under 20s competition at Leeds. It makes perfect sense.

Bet you worship god and david cameron in the same way as the hierarchy at the rhinos ... N ' est ce pas ?



Just read back your own post to see how silly you are.
