Read through the previous comments because I didn't want to repeat what had already been said but you have picked up on this and so has Wadski. It happens all the time. Perhaps it's the only time the wingers can get hold of the ball because we don't spread it about enough do we? It's almost as frustrating as Brett passing the ball in front of our own posts.

Come on folks. Don't turn Leroy into resurrected Thorman.

His positional play was excellent.

He caught every high ball.

He didn't miss a tackle.

He joined in the attack.

He ran out from defence in EXACTLY the same manner as Brett.

Yes, he does need more of the Paul Reilly in him, but don't slag him when he was one of the few who did his job.

I'm not slagging him at all i think he his a fantastic prospect, i was just stating that in the past i have seen him pick the ball up and run and make some good yards - he didnt seem to be doing that on Sunday which meant that their defensive line was up on our attack and putting pressure on 10-15 yards from our own line rather than 25-30 to give us more of a chance of gaining better position etc

Fair enough. But I wasn't particularly having a dig at you. It is the posters who say he is not a SL player. All I'm asking is what do they want from him? Yes, he can be hesitant, but he wasn't on Sunday. Yes, he does need to run harder. But before the start of last season, how many people had ever heard of him?

He's young, he's learning from one of the best. Let's not demoralise him to the point of losing him.

Spot on Ivor

Cudjoe is a great player, and will get better. Some people just want to see fault no matter what.

He's still learning and he still made 200m+ so he must have gained some yards in defence.

He's not Paul Reilly, he's not going to run at the line from every kick return like it's his last run on Earth. He's Leroy, he's only 21/22 and he's not had much game time at FB in SL this season.

Correct he's no Paul Reilly. As much as we loved the guy, his positional sense for kicks on thel ast tackle weren't a patch on Brett or even Leroy. Think Cudjoe has picked up some good tips from Brett already regarding reading where the ball is going to be kicked. Many a time we saw reilly turned round to fetch the ball and dicing with death near the dead ball line. Neither Brett nor Leroy though ran it out like Paul.

No one on earth ran it out like paul, simple as that, but then again no one on earth had to

I'd rather Leroy catch the ball on the full and have more time and space instead of having the cover on him and having to batter a hole in the line.
