I guess when the full 17 are fit they will be rotated.
i'm not so sure, i think they'll use it all year. they did the same with macca last week, and seemed to play with the idea in some of the warm up games. depending on the opposition, they won't both get as much game time as they did tonight.
but i for one think it could be very good, both are good defenders, diskin doesn't look out of place playing second row (haven't seen enough of buderus there to comment yet), easier on both players as they half the work in attack so can stay on the field for longer and makes it harder for teams to defend against*.
*with most teams you only have one main dummy half on at a time, so the defence knows what they'll likely to be up against, makes it easier to set up a defence for it. where as leeds now have two main options at dummy half, each with they own style. so the defence now has to work out which hooker they're against every play, and what said hooker is likely to do (as they nothing stopping leeds changing which side the players attack down, or even just ever so often one of them coming randomly across to the other side)
