| Cudjoe has been playing well of late as long as he is not at fullback.
Brown was not at his best by a long way last week but the conditions were awful and he may not have been fully fit. As for saying he was outplayed by Gareth Moore not really. What did Moore actually do in the game other than kick three penalties and drop a goal.
I would like Griffin to stay but if he goes it is not the end of the world. He is certainly not our best prop as has been claimed on here. Crabtree is superior both in attack and defence and i would probably put Mason ahead of him as well. The club will make the right decision and continue to move forward just as it has when far more influential players have left.

agreed. Thought the Wakey standoff ran the show for them, positional kicking, goal kicking and never shirked the tackling either, realy led from the front. Brown was on the pitch so was expected to do a job and unfortunately he didnt, the bullet pass to wardle, where they scored the 1st try, in those conditions being a prime example

Eh!!! He kicked us to death, he didn't attempt one silly cut out pass and won MOM.

The thing that Griffin brings to the table is consistency IMO. You're right though, when you consider how the team have handled the departure of Hodgson we should be able to pull something out of the bag if he's on his way.

| Griffin appears to do more than he actually does. He is actually doing far less tackling and taking fewer drives than either Crabtree or Mason. He does make very few errors though and is very consistant. If he wants to leave though i am sure there are repacements available. Larne Patrick has the potential to be a better player.
The pass from Brown that led to Luke Georges try was ridiculous it was obvious that long passes would not work in the conditions the fact it was 20 yards from our own line just made it even more stupid.

| Griffin is a dependable player, he is still contracted to us and him earning an England cap means that if anybody wants him they will have to pay decent money.
As for the idea we kept sculthorpe- brilliant, seeing as he didn't play a single game the following year at Bradford we made exactly the right decision. With a squad our size we need to keep players like Raleigh in case of imjury he can do a decent job but is cheap!

| Raleigh covers prop or second row and wont be one of the biggest earners in the side so is well worth keeping.

Maybe that's why the coach keeps leaving him out because he has to play his big earners!

| I dont think that has any bearing on it. Patrick Kirmond and Horne are all getting more game time and will not be big earners.

| Quote: brearley84 "as for cudjoe he can play a number of positions standoff, full back, wing, centre
has flashes of brilliance...saints pass for try, try v batley that won the game
[we were ahead when he scored in the last minute at batley]
and only recently for me was man of the match v castleford at the shay... covered for brough when he went of injured and also for grix when he went of injured.... not many players can be so versatile'"
He can play in several positions and is a softc*ck in all of them. On the wing his frailties are least damaging.
He is a disasterous fb - refuses to catch high balls , letting them bounce. When he returns the ball we watch him jog hesitantly. he is disinclined (i am being polite here) to tackle.

You may think there are no superstars. Other people may look at the likes of Brough, Robbo, Faiumu, Fa'alogo and O'Donnell + the likes of Big Eorl and Gerry and see much more than 'just hard working players'

| The fact that people on here are pulling a TWENTY ONE year old to bits is shocking. He has had so much pressure on him this year following him getting the England cap and getting the giants out of jail twice in the playoffs. Massive things were expected at the start of this season from some. Show me a player who makes zero mistakes. Brett hodgson made more errors than any other player in SL but still got MOS- we have probably the youngest 3/4 line in SL, (I'm counting gilly as a back row) mistakes are bound to be made- when was the last time cudjoe needed to kick on a regular basis- He's bound to be out of practice. Personally I think leroys passing skills are wasted on the wing. Bit he lacks the confidence for FB. 4 or 6 for me.

Totally agree with this, can't we just get behind the WHOLE team instead of having a go at some of them. Get a grip people!!
