not been getting much from brough who has laid on 30 try assists, mainly down the opposite side to cudjoe.



this has turned into a cudjoe v watkins thread!



how about both in the England starting 13 for the world cup... best way to go i think.



Reed is the danger to this, but with cudjoe playing all the autumn internationals and showing up well i feel he should be ahead of reed, how has reed gone down under this year?

Both Cudjoe and Watkins appear to be very talented but as a neutral think they both need to get involved much more from the games I have seen but I think Watkins has more potential to be a game-breaker than Cudjoe and I think he needs a long stretch of games without injury before you see his full potential.



Both probably deserving of an England spot ATM but good to have competition. As for Reed, he's decent (and not half as bad as some have said) but he is hardly going to have any Aussies/Kiwis quaking in their boots and lining up against him. He's pretty solid all round though.

as an opposition fan, i'm scared when we're lining up against watkins, as he's dangerous and cause us problems.



Cudjoe, i'm not, he's not a strike player at all imo, fulfills a role,very well, but he's not someone you're going to double up on, or use as a spot player in attack.

Also in regards Watkins v Cudjoe stats... This season Codjoe has been playing in a team going all out to win every game.... Whereas Watkins has been playing in a side sauntering through their league games.



Be interesting to see how both fair in the playoffs.

A fair comment.Both have a big few months ahead with play offs then the WC.i guess we will learn lots about both players heights of ability soon enough.

The common opinion of Atkins seems to be that he isnt 'brilliant'.... he has spent alot of this season injured. But if we compare his stats lasts season to Cudjoes this season the contrast is a stark one.







I would also swap Atkins for Watkins.... i wouldn't swap him for Cudjoe though. Not a chance.

warrington were going all out to win every game that season though huddersfield were not

you're thinking of 2011





also, those are cudjoes stats from THIS season.

Yeah, Huddersfield have been sauntering through the season all year





FWIW I wouldn't swap Atkins for Cudjoe either





Basically Watkins looks flash but his all round game lets him down, especially defence, but he is still at the Leeds favoured attacking side



Atkins benefited from a team in great form all season whose preference was to attack down his side



Cudjoe doesn't catch the eye so much (I guess his MoM performance v Leeds in the cup doesn't count) - probably due to him being on the opposite side to Broughs attack but despite this his stats stack up pretty well

Watkins is a far better player than you describe.

These stats are ridiculous. Have you not read that Watkins is criminally under used by a poor Leeds coach. By contrast Cudjoe is the main strike weapon in a good Huddersfield team.



Personally I think Cudjoe is brilliant by the way, just those stats are completely irrelevant.

Giants use cudjoe as a main strike weapon?!





obviously not seen much of huddersfield and the attack this season then



infact i doubt many on here have seen much of cudjoe at all apart from the odd game on sky and england games...doesnt get the same exposure as watkins at leeds who are on more often and sky drool over them.
