See Hull have let Caldy go

I know on a previous thread I berated Caldy for chasing the Pies Pound when he left but ....

If we are looking for some speed to replace Donald Caldy may actually be worth a look. I know he has had injuries but hvaing watched a bit of teh academy Im not convinced there is anyone ready to step into Donalds shoes yet.

We could of course play Watkins or BJB there but as its not their natural positions that would seem silly. I also know we have Smith who will most likely play there looking at our squad right now.

Anyone else think Caldy might not be a bad option?

I think he'd go very well back in Leeds.Him on one wing and Wayne Pryce on the other.............................

Point and laugh.

I was a big fan of Calderwood at Leeds but there has been a lot of water under the bridge since he last wore the blue & amber. He's not done much since he left (barring a superman-esque display against us in one of the play-offs a few seasons ago). Think it would be a step backwards for the club to sign him - what message doe it send to the youngsters coming through at the club?

Leeds won't even look at him.

Next year is 2011 not 2003.

Bloody hell, I'd rather have Eddie Rombo

Tykes/Carnegie-bet ya

Now you're talking!!

That none of our young wingers are good enough yet? Think its a fair message having watched them a bit. Not saying none of them will make it but they aren't ready yet.

They're a darned sight more ready than someone who will spend half the season limping between the treatment room and a seat in the stand.

Dont act dumb.

You know as well as anyone that if Leeds (or indeed any club) were to sign any player there are medicals etc to go through.

What's dumb about it?

He may be fit as a fiddle when he takes his medical in November, but the evidence of recent years shows he's unable to complete a season without breaking down again and missing a large chunk of the year.

The Salford forum is that way --->

player/coach for farnley falcons!!

Can anyone tell my why the starting wingers next year won't be Smith and Hall? Then we have Watkins fighting for a backs shirt before we have to dip into the academy.

Calders was good while it lasted, but is very much yesterday's man now.

Good question.

My guess it will go unanswered.

Heard G will offer him £50 a game and first go at the food after games

I would direct you back to me starting post.

Im not pro Caldy here, just saying that if we were looking for some speed to replace Donald he [imay [/ibe an option.

On the Watkins point I said, he is a centre, whats to really be gained by playing him on the wing? Id rather loan him to Salford (for example) if they wanted a centre.

As for Smith. I expect him, and Hall, to be the starting wingers.

My point, because for some they seem to be unable to grasp it is this;

IF we wanted a pacy winger Caldy MIGHT be an OPTION to replace Donald in the SQUAD. Im not suggesting we knight him and give him Blueys job, just that as a free agent he may be good in the squad and provide us with somemore option.

Caldy?!! Best mates are you?

I would have a fit and on form Calderwood in an instant over those two.

But whether he was up to been fully fit again would be up to the medical team to decide, and I would presume by the fact Hull have released him, that their medical team have already decided the answer to that.
