Pathetic signing, were already a club with too many sulkers and players that look as though they cant be d when they are on the pitch so we go and sign Calderwood. Genius

That's the point for me. We can't go in to next season relying on Hall / GH / Briscoe for our right centre / winger. So who is available that is better than Calderwood?

Nobody. Its a sensible (rather than "good"icon_wink.gif signing IMO.

And Byrne and maybe Whiting, personally think that is enough cover.

Would rather see us sign Broughton that Calderwood.

Experienced, non quota, available, and ?cheep?. Not inspirational, but, we could have done worse, and at least he has some speed.

Dont get the assumption he will be cheap in all honesty.

Me neither he left Leeds for more money at Wigan, do people think he will be taking that much of a pay cut, if one at all.

With the two new clubs coming in he could have got good money elsewhere.

Spot on!

Give the bloke a chance for fecks sake.

Because he'll magically transform into a different player when he puts a Hull shirt on. The same player we've been watching for seasons will suddenly become reborn sporting Black and White irregular hoops.

He'll get one, but on a site like this different opinions and thoughts on future signings are allowed you know!

were are the season pass application forms?, i want to fill one in now, wow what a signing i'm so f**kin excited, cant wait for next season now.

Indeed. And so are reactions to those thoughts and opinions.

Sod off!!

That's the spirit.

That's the spirit! He'll look better if nothing else!


I'm always prepared to give everyone a fair chance, he could end up doing a good job for us, you never know!

A fast british winger with a proven track record for scoring tries at the highest level. A player who has already said he has a point to prove and were bagging him before he even wears the jersey. Calderwood used to scare the bejesus out of me when he played for leeds. Could be a very good signing.

Yes, and Tommy Lee is a junior international scrum half who COULD play 7 for England against Australia one day! Could, but most probably will not!

he is a has been that no other so called top club would go within a mile of, typical of the signings we make.

He has tons of pace, is willing to back himself, and can get trys. Not the best winger in the league but one of the best English wingers, and I would have thought that would have been important to some people seeing as quite a few have moaned that we have 'wasted' a quota spot on a winger for the past 6 seasons (not me personally though).
The only problem is that apart from his 20 metre re-starts, he will be wasted at this club unless we use our right hand side properly. For example, we very rarely put bombs up, even though when we did Sing always challenged or got tries

This season apart Calderwood has been probably the second best British winger in the competition second only to Raynor.

It now looks as if we have both England wingers. Why are we moaning?

We have no urgency for the 20 metre restarts so he is wasted there too. He might be switched on to it but we wont have anyone there tapping the ball!

You mean the same as players such as Hodgson, Brown, Robinson, Tickle, Wild, Hargreaves, Orr, Godwin etc etc, who have all had bad times at Wigan, but then left and become much better players? And also gone to lower clubs with the exception of Saints, to do so?

Iirc, its generally him that takes the tap himself, but I could be wrong
