Buderus was a better player than Diskin.Diskin did far more for Leeds than Buderus did.
Therefore Diskin for me.
In much the same way as I would pick Sinfield in a best Leeds team of my lifetime ahead of Hanley, despite Hanley being the best British player I've ever seen. Hanley's best years were elsewhere, and his achievements at Leeds are dwarfed by Sinfield's.
Likewise, as much as I rated Buderus, Diskin won 4 Grand Finals with Leeds (scoring our first try in two of them) and won a Harry Sunderland trophy and was player of the season in probably our best season of this era.
