Is this guy any good? Tell me about him, i.e. in comparison to Newton, Cunningham, Diskin & Higham (and Millard if you must).

Fairleigh Good! said:I don't rate Matt Diskin at all. He looks average to me in the Leeds side behind some world class international players. I can imagine him being anonymous in a weaker side. He has no particular strengths and no obvious weakenesses, average all round.
:lol: 'Higham is a great little player' but can't pass or tackle. How does that work then? Two of the most important disciplines in the game and he can't do either of them but he's a 'great player'? Your constant Saints bias makes me want to hurl.Fairleigh Good! said:Higham is a great little player, but his best use is from the bench against a tiring defense. His ability to gain metres from quick play the balls is a potentially deadly weapon and I think Wigan will make some truly massive metres next season with Paelaesina(sp?) and co giving him the go forward to work off. His downsides are his defending, which isn't great and his awful passing. Wigan fans should get used to watching their forwards chase the bouncing egg around next season if they are not on top.

No disrespect to Salford fans.

He would have kicked on from all that if it wasn't for his 9 months out with an injury this year. What was that you were saying about him being average?

Fairleigh Good! said:Cunningham is a lot better than the other British hookers,can you argue with that? He is the only Saints player I mentioned!
Fairleigh Good! said:If Matt Diskin was Leeds best player in any season I will eat my shirt. He is nothing.
Higham is a very useful player from dummy half and will make serious inroads into teams provided the go forward is there. I didn't suggest he couldn't tackle, just that its not one of his better points.
As for my Saints bias, the guy who started the thread asked for comparisons. Cunningham is a lot better than the other British hookers, can you argue with that? He is the only Saints player I mentioned!
