7 overseas in the 19. Like many clubs we could not do that at the Giants - not enough non UK players.
Clearly with Scully 2 weeks away what Wakey really needed was a reserve grade NRL player. ![]()
Yeah we need a young player with lots of potential who can make a big name for himself, who would not want that type of player?
Scully is a prop
Frank is 2nd row.
Don't see why you need to have a pop at Wakey. Signing past it players is far worse. In fact Wakey doing nothing wrong. But then again you are a Hudds fan so you look to moan about Wakey where possible!

10 years in SL and one of the highest overseas quotas and now signing reserve graders. Very disappointing. |

Could the signing of Brett Hodgson be seen as a problem for Hudds as this could see Cudjoe playing limited time in his favoured position? Is this a not a backward step for Hudds, no matter how good Hodgson has been in oz? I dont just think the signing of reserve grade Aussie is a problem as the above case shows.

You've had 10 years in SL, develop the players not bring reserve graders half way across the world.
Why is objecting to signing a reserve grader a 'pop' at wakey? Its a fact. |

How can learning off one of the world's best full backs be a bad thing? |

Leroy can play in a few positions. He knows BH has several SOO / GF winners medal / fb of the year in 2005. If he is not getting picked Leroy knows it is because of a top class player (not an Oz reserve grader) Also Leroy has an excellent role model/mentor (not a service FW is likely to offer). When BH finishes Leroy will be only 22.
If we signed a 22year old fb from an oz reserve grade team with only 5 1st team games and put him before Leroy I would be appalled. |

I think he would learn much more by playing consistantly at FB to be honest. You can only take a youngsters development so far by training ground teachings. He has to do it under the spotlights of the big time.

When it clearly denies Cudjoe a regular place in the team.
Are you suggesting that Nathan Brown and his staff are incapable of developing Cudjoe without recruting a 31 year old player who has clearly put his best days behind him?

So instead of buying a reserve grader you bring in a 30+ yr old player to take up the position of a potential GB prospect. They are both as bad as each other those scenarios. Plus at the age of 22 Cudjoe could have missed the boat. Needs to be playing in his favoured position of FB now IMO. |

It's a shame that some of your fellow Giants fans can't adopt the same attitude toward Wakefields recruitment! |
