could hardly hear the telly

Oh. You must just be naturally as good a judge of the game as Stevo is then.

not really i just think calderwood could of done better then just pass it back to nobody

But we're not. We are 5 from 7, which most would've taken before the season started. Get over it and move on

Like what? What did you expect him to do with two players covering him and the ball bouncing above his head?

Calderwood has done very little wrong this season and has been a victim of lack of service. Anyone who lays the blame for the last two performances anywhere near his door is, frankly, retarded.

That covers most of em on here then.

i like calderwood as a player

i just dont think that was his better games for us

Whilst it might not have been one of his better games for us, I don't see what more he could have been expected to do under the circumstances. The fact that our forwards were well beaten and the backs never got any service was what lost us the game. Calderwood was among the least to blame for the defeat.

You're right.

I do wish you wouldn't keep coming on here and talking sense.

Calderwood hasn't set the KC alight since his arrival, infact he has been quite anonymous but there are a hell of a lot of things to blame for our two defeats before anyone should even mention Calderwood.

Blaming Calderwood is just ludicrous.

Absolutely.

don't get me wrong i like calderwood as a player but not for hull. because he will never get any service and don't any of you say he will. watch the game again and hull put a kick through to calderwoods wing and he wasn't switched on to it at all, the camera then pans to agar and he isn't happy at all.

Noticed that on the telly and we mentioned it........Didnt Berrigan chase the kick down.

One of the kicks yeah, Calderwood wasnt near it and Berrigan almost scored. Other than that one lapse i dont think he did much wrong tbh. Doesnt cough the ball up etc and even players like Berro have started to do that.

True.......that was Berros worse game in a Hull shirt.

just been talking to my neighbour he is a staunch loiner and he does go home and away.
he was just telling me and i quote. they leeds fans were glad to see the back of him (calderwood), all he ever really did for us was a quick return from a 20 restart. if he was really any good do you think we would have got rid? i cant offer any argument at moment can anyone help?

Calderwood would be useful in a team what would be willing to take the risk of trying something different and be willing to use his kick chases better, and playing in a team that had players capable of missing out a man with a pass. All he is used for at the minute is running from dummy half, an area of his game that is very poor.

They also got rid of Dowes, Carvell, Scruton, Raynor etc etc.

He scored 25 tries in his last season at Leeds.

I think we need to use his strengths more regards our kicking game.

Although last nights kicks didnt result in a try it was one avenue that looked the most likely. Why didnt we kick that way 2nd half?

Far more threatening then our centres dummy half scoots!

Agreed, I wouldnt even mind if we used generally sensible approach at the start of a game or if we are in front of kicking for good field position rather then risking giving the ball away cheaply, becuase that is the risk in trying things like kicking early in the tackle count for a winger to chase, but its so annoying that we dont even seem to be willing to try this when we are behind and need to come up with a play to keep us in the game, so negative.

great post Suzie. having Cusack Berro and Radders off the field at the same time was suicide, playing Moa instead of Thacks didnt help either, Agar et al need to look at themselves and think again quick before the next game.

And the bunch sat behind me last night

He had a complete mare which played a big part in our defeat as did playing Moa imo.
