Cudjoe was class yesterday, but he is most weeks. Maybe because he isn't one of the 'flair' players who gets lots of media coverage he gets overlooked by people at times. Him and Watkins, in my opinion, are the best 2 and both will only get better in time too.

| Quote: Charlie Sheen "Watkins as a more natural centre than Cudjoe, Cudjoe has improved out of sight since the last time he played centre for England down under, especially defensively (although his performance against Wire in the cup wasn't great). He's still not that great at creating space for his winger, his natural instinct is to run himself, he is improving but Watkins in comparison has more strings to his bow than Cudjoe. Cudjoe is a more solid defender at the moment but I'd say Watkins is a better defender now than Cudjoe was 3 years ago.
Watkins is the most natural centre England has produced in years. His combination, of speed, footwork, ability to carry the ball in both hands and catch and pass the ball at high speed his superb, he's not the finished article but in 3 years if he stays fit he will have surpassed Cudjoe, or any other centr in the country.
Both are the 2 best centres in SL. They should both be lining up fro England in the world cup.'"
Your opinions do not seem to be backed up by the evidence. Cudjoe has really developed that side of his game. As seen in yesterdays game where he consistently held up the centre and drew in the winger ( who was chosen for England this season!) before releasing his winger with one handed flick passes.
Those who have watched the Giants this season have seen Cudjoe regularly getting his winger space. |

Will start by saying this isn't a dig or cheap shot, as I like Cudjoe. Good player who I rate and would like to see playing in the World Cup.
But, does he ever pass the ball properly (by that I mean two handed)? Every time I see him pass he does that one hand flick thing.
Seems to work for the kid so it's not a bad thing, I'm just wondering.

on his day,leroy cudjoe has everything you want from a class centre, strength,pace,great footwork,good defence and the ability to create space for his winger, at the moment only probably Watkins and crooks are on the same level.

That's almost become his trademark, its great to watch and him and Jerry work off each other to a tee. |

Cudjoe and Mcgilvray on one wing and Watkins and Hall on the other with Tomkins at FB and a fired up Chase at halfback plus the Burgess bash brothers,
James Graham, Roby, big Earl et al up front. Surely we can trouble the Aussies with that lot. I can't wait. Hope I'm not too disappointed.

He can't be Steve McNamara as McNamara picks charnley. Strange dig at the Enhland coach from you there. |

Much as I like McGillvary he isn't an England winger really
Cudjoe and Charnley down that flank is a mouth watering prospect though

Crooks had a bad day at wembley (as did most of the team) coming off an injury that should have ruled him out for another two weeks, but his form before that was ripping teams apart. Should be a shoe in for young player of the year. at 19 years old, there isnt a centre in the league I would swap him for.
