some of these fellas are the same blokes crying for him at 7 last year,6 early this year and then when he ends up in his rightful position at 9 (where he tackles well and provides a kicking option and does not occupy a major playmaker role ) they are all geniuses.i seem to remember saying he should play 9 about 50 times last year only to be run over by the monaghan mob,as i was when i said he was not a six this year.
the bloke is a solid modern style 9 in the same mould as a lot of halfbacks who turned to hooker because they were not playmakers.no more ,no less.
buderus is regarded as the greatest league hooker of all time by most judges and to compare him with monaghan is a very bad joke but also very predictable.only steve walters even comes close to him as there numerous test and state jumpers evidence.
