Lawrence is awesome, still dont know why anderson plays him from the bench mind.

his defence top class, id put cudjoe not far behind him too on defence.

crabtree,brough and hughes also high on the list for defending

cudjoe was getting some right stick for his defence not long ago, he does have a tendency to jump out of the line a lot and get caught out, but he seems to have improved recently.
every rugby league player should be able to defend some are better than others, but i wouldn't say leroy was one of our better defenders as such..yet

waits for the stats to prove me wrong

i mean in terms of reading and positioning etc

You're dead wrong on that meast


Last season he had a bad one by his standards but like Bruno I usually think players aren't going past him and he cuts down the space

Hes helped this season by Hughes being a better edge defender - last season was not good all round for that

Also that flank is most sides prefered attack

I agree code- Leroy was quite clearly fatigued last year. He does sometimes jump out of the line- but so does brough!!!! Leroy has a good tackling technique-ball and all tackle that rarely allows the offload. If he makes contact players rarely slip out of his grasp.

He wrangles players down to prevent a quick ptb too


Season of the world cup his stats had him as the best defensive centre in the league and second best in attack

Good to see im not the only one who see's cudjoes awesome defence, when he misses one every one jumps on his back even though its rare compared to wardle but not many seem to question that

i'm not saying he's a bad defender at all, but there's times when he has left jerry exposed but like i said he seems to have improved this year so praise where it's due

Jerry needs to jam in when Leroy goes in

And the problem had previously been the back row going absent

I think Cudjoe has gone back to his 2013 self this season which is fantastic. However, if we are talking about 2014 he left Jerry facing 2 maybe 3 men at least twice every game which is just unacceptable for a centre.

Because he has to come in because the second row on that side had gone missing

If a player on the edge is having to come in someone in the middle had missed

Spot on code.

What a result! First time I can't make this fixture for ages and look what happens!!

I managed to listen to a fair amount on Radio 5 Extra and they were very impressed with the Giants fans - so well done all that managed to make it!







Great to have seen some of the positive comments around about our fans.
