I have never heard a manager talk about a players growth spurt before mind.
COLWILL:
Hudson believes Cardiff have a real talent on their hands, but says the club have to monitor a niggle he sustained during the international break with Wales over the last week.
"I’m not going to talk about previous (managers). If I talk about Rubin, we know what a talent he is," Hudson said of Colwill.
"He wasn’t involved in the first fixture with Wales, he came on in the second fixture. We know what a talent he is. Between us and Wales there is a link and communication. He has grown so much over the last six months, physically and mentally, there is a lot of pressure on him.
"He has a little niggle at the minute and we will monitor that over the next couple of days. It’s something we will communicate between the club and international setup, between myself and Mr Page. Trying to get the best out of him with a global approach. He has shot up. He has grown up to be a man.
"He excites us and he excites the fans.
"He has got a knock at the moment, we have to look at it over the next few days. He is important to the fans and the international setup.
"He is a good human being and he wants to achieve as much as he can for this club. That’s what he wants and that’s what we want as well."
DENHAM
Oliver Denham has been suffering from a similar issue to Rubin Colwill and his growth issues have taken their toll, according to Hudson.
Denham was withdrawn from Wales U21s' squad during the international break and Hudson has revealed why that was the case.
"He is another body that's growing, because of his age. He has had another growth spurt, we have had to monitor and periodise his training," Hudson said of Denham.
"He is not far off being involved in the international setup but it was just too soon.
"We are just making sure his periodisation is right for him to be in and around training every day. Because of the growth, we have to dip him in and out, that's something we have all agreed on it as a staff and medical department.
"Ollie has been brilliant. A great character and a great personality."

Wtf is periodise?
Never heard that one before...
Where are all these rumours. Can someone post them in here, in their entirety?
I had heard he was hideous to the younger players. I remember chatting to Paul Fairclough about him years ago, I think he scored the equaliser for Millwall against us when we went up in 2011. He said he was a strange fella, but one of my other pals who played with Morrison said he was sound and it was Fairclough that was an oddball.
Swings and roundabouts
Just had a message from a mate ITK who reckons he had another growth spurt last night. I think he was talking about Colwill.
