He got caught out for both Rochdale tries and out of position a few times. What disappoints me though is when running the ball out of defence he is slow and stops before hitting the defensive line.

I appreciate he is young and still learning but if he can't do it against part timers he'll struggle against better teams.
At full back against a top club he will be targetted and caught out far too often.

Totally agree and also Lawrence seems to get caught ought a lot, they both need to push on this season.

Lawrence has trouble adapting to switching from centre to wing. This is a common problem for any non specialist wingers they often get drawn out of position.

As for Cudjoe positionimng not great but catching looked better. Still got a season and a half to learn off Hodgy though.

thought carlisle did Ok today he seems to pass the ball well. plays a bit like a smaller version of Lunt.

As said before, Lawrence is great at centre, poor at wing, and wings are all too easy to say "they played poorly" being often the exposed end of the defensive line.

Think we being a little harsh on Cudjoe, His positional sense for fielding their kicks was superb and ran it out of defence well, he is not gonna break tackles left right and Centre, Brett never makes many breaks either but we don't slate the guy.

I also think Patrick had a good game today for us too, showed a great turn of pace for a backrower when out pacing the Hornets cover defence.

What we did lack was the clinical side that all the so called bigger teams have and the passing was farcical at times with Faiumu showing dummy outside and in when we had 2 man overlap.

Zip it across the line!!!!!! and stop this predictable inside pass.

even though he has already played a few game for us, i though larne patrick had a great game. solid tackler, ran with the ball hard and fast and thoroughly deserved his try. we have got a lot of young talent coming throughin the centres and 2nd rowers and i think we need to take advantage of this throughout the season when our first teamers may not be doing so well

Ok fair enough not dissing Brett who is awesome just trying to say Cudjoe not as bad as some make out!!

Cudjoe>Meters=531\69 Carries=avg 7.69 Meters per carry
B.Hodgson>Meters=1403\213 Carries=avg 6.58 Meters per carry

Cudjoe>Tackles=66\6 Games=avg 11 Tackles per game
B.Hodgson>Tackles=71\12 Games=avg 5.91 Tackles per game

Difficult to compare I know as both have been playing differen't positions but you started it

Stats are great things!!

Says nothing, as I said you can make stats do what you want, you turned it into a Brett vs Cudjoe argument which it isn't.

Cudjoe had a decent game at fullback against Rochdale IMHO and didnt deserve the slating
