Luke Priddis was a good footballer but Buderu was better and is better, Smith has overtaken Buerus but the gap isn't as big as people make out, there are aspects of Danny's game which are still superior to Smith's, for example running from dummy half. Farah is abit different, he's flashier and stands out more than Smith and Buderus because he runsalot from dummy halfand often lines up at 1st receiver. As for Monaghan, his best performances have been in he halves this season, he's hardly played at hooker. Btw Johns never made buderus, buderus won a dally m medal without johns, and it could be argued that buderus actally made johns a better playr since it was buderus passing johnsth ball all the time as opposed to it being the other way around. With that kind of thing you could say for example Steve Menzies made Cliff Lyons a better player since Lyon was giving the ball to menzies an menzies use to make the breaks, but logic says that they complimented each other which is what buderus and johns hadDazzat said:It's hardly surprising that the wheels are falling off the Buderus train ... he only got where he is today on Andrew John's shirt tails ...
No Johns, no saloon passage for young Danny Boy ...
IMO Luke Priddis was always a better hooker forward than Buderus ... now Farah has overtaken both. Even Michael Monaghan is a superior player now.
I definitely put Buderus in the Jamie Lyons category ... week after week you hear the commentators rave about a player, and week after week you wonder, "Am I looking at the same player?"
As for Cameron Smith, his kicking game (not to mention kicking and general play) puts him at the top of the tree ... compare Smith's kicks which consistently found space with Buderus' out-on-the-full effort on Wednesday night.

I don't think Buderus will ever see an Australian jersey again,Smith will keep it firmly and then Farrah will be in the running for it.
It's clear as day it's between Smith and Farrah now.
Pardon me,could you please find in this thead where I mentioned Bowen?Red and Blue Knight said:Similar to how only Cowboy fans think Bowen is as good as Hunt?

Hodges is really struggling atm, he seems more intent on shuffling around the ruck instead of hitting it hard out wide. Inglis at 4 and billy on wing ?
