He will be at the club until 2020, and earn himself a real testimonial. Great news IMO- www.giantsrl.com/news/article/46 ... a-one-club

Brilliant, great player and adds a lot to our side! Let's hope he keeps improving with age and is effective as ever

Great news. One of our own. Deserves the long contract.

good news indeed, let's hope he continues his good form and maybe get his England shirt back

let's also hope that we get some more talented local lads signed up on long terms contracts

Bruno and Jerry next!!!

LOL

Oooh look it's a bulls fan- not seen or heard from one of those for a while. What a great meaningful post.
How's life in the championship- good to see you have settled in and are bedding down.
It's making me feel all nostalgic for those trips up to Workington and Whitehaven.

One of the best and most underrated players in the league

Superb centre and I'm glad he's going to be a one club player

Brilliant!

one club man and will get a testamonial too

been getting his form back recently and that bodes well for us and maybe getting back into the England team too

leroy ! leroy ! leroy!

Haha this has nothing to do with the Bulls, just an opinion on what I think is a completely overrated player who if hadn't come through your academy could be doubtful he would still be at the club.

Not biting to your jibe about the championship I'm one of a small few who actually don't mind Huddersfield and would love someone like yourselves or castleford to upset the odds and win the title.

Why would it be doubtful he would be here ?? The guy is a class player who has represented his country .....isnt that the kind of player most clubs look for ?? We've got one for nowt so why the bleeding hell wouldn't he be here ? We're hardly going to raise a player of leroys calibre to let him go !!!

In my opinion, Cudjoe is a decent Super League player but should be nowhere near an England shirt. He is at his best with ball in hand but he does tend to just grab at the shirt rather than making a proper tackle. The Aussies or Kiwis would very quickly identify him as the weak link and exploit his defensive short-comings very easily.
As Huddersfield are very good defensively across the rest of the team, I think that Cudjoe's frailties are masked at Super League level but would be exposed in an England shirt where the defensive requirements are so much higher.

you obviously havent watched cudjoe much, watch him week in week out and his defence is top drawer

played plenty of games for england and not looked out of place

he has had a dip in form but is coming back now and was great again lastnight

very happy to have him for another 5 years

He makes on average 25 tackles a game. Has the same tackle success rate as Watkins. And missed none last night. Where this idea comes from that he can't tackle I just don't get. It's rare an offload comes from a cudjoe tackle.

For all his defensive frailties that other fans see, and for what the Aussie and the kiwis would do to against him, I recall both Cudjoe and Watkins standing up well against their 3/4's in the World Cup

I thought some of you might get precious about him, but my comments are valid.

I've watched him a few times both at matches and on TV. He's average at best in defence and is covered by the rest of your team.

He has good games (as most good / average centres do) but he doesn't inspire me with confidence with his one on one tackling.

Take those claret and gold coloured glasses off and form an objective view.

As stated, he is a good super league centre who is not good enough in defence to pull on an England shirt.

Sorry if this offends, but it is my opinion

Sadly the evidence says you're wrong

I kind of agree with you.

At times, he gets caught out and McGillvary has to cover. Which can then leave him isolated and people have a go at him for his poor defence.

His 'grab' tackle technique can also be an issue and 2 or 3 other players have to come in to finish off the tackle.

I do hope he can get back to his best though, but in my view there are many other centres ahead of him for an international call up

I kind of tend to agree as well, We concede a fair few tries down that side , and there has to be a reason for that.
What you referred to as his Grab tackle is what worries me about his game, I don't know why he has developed that style at all, He lets the opposition get alongside him and tackles them side on by the shirt or whatever, Maybe he is trying to avoid injury, I don't know.

Having said that he handled the big guy at Catalan very well, and he did a fair job last night, He was definitely England standard a couple of years ago, Maybe he's on his way back, Hopefully he is.

He has always had that "wrangle" tackle and 90% of the time it's very effective at putting the player down and stopping a quick ptb

It also means any offload is likely to be spilled so it's not a bad trick

Hopefully were seeing him get back to his very best as the semi-finals approach

i have been critical of him ,especially in defence, at times this season
but happily he no appears to have hit his stride again lately and is proving to be a real handful in attack and his defence has improved massively

no offence, just wrong.

like i say happy hes got another 5 years and hopefully can get the england centre spot again where he has done well before for the national side without being spectacular

i would say he has been picked for england for his defence too!

mcgillvary his winger has 19 tries this season, a good winger always has a good centre inside him

Sarge is right about Cudjoe's tackling it is weak, It is not dominant and he spends too much time grabbing collars.
