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.

yep, hughes is there now to help cudjoe and hes the top tackler in the team looking at the stats..

who was there previous patrick...

No because Patrick was usually on the bench. So would have been Chan at beginning of season and then Taai.

yeh was abit of a mix in that position last year, good to get hughes in there now

Ellis seems to be stronger defensively too than previous 7's which must help Leroy out

Not convinced on this one- some of his attempts are shocking- he's missed more than anyone else this season.

agree, Ellis needs to step it up in defence, 5 missed tackles alone on friday, don't think Grix missed that many in the play off defeat at wigan

Anderson on Ellis

Interesting that when you put Missed Tackles and Errors together that there's not much difference at all between Ellis, Ferres and Brough. Personally, I think Ellis is improving game by game and is already starting to show moments that show it may not just be Danny's creativity we have to rely on going forward. I'm happy with how the partnership is progressing and that there is optimism we may not be so dependent on our left hand side attack going forward and we can mix it up a bit more.

That's 4 times now he's shown a dummy near their line and scored - albeit one was disallowed.
