Because people think he is a t**t. But I think they fail to see it won't be us he will be a t**t to next season

I personally rated all of these except Hargreaves and Tickle when they was still at Wigan. The difference is I thought Leeds got rid of Calderwood at the right time. Almost every single poster on the Wigan forums say he's never regained his pace after his ankle injury. Unfortunately he never had much else other than pace.

Really? I thought the rest were tripe tbh, and Robinson is the only one I don't rate much now. For some reason, Wigan has an effect on players. How many players in the past 5 years can you say have gone to Wigan and been a success, or have improved the performances compared to how they performed at their last club?

exactly, says it all when we just get Wigan cast offs.

No I kind of agree. Wigan's recruitment policy has been as bad as ours when it comes to signing UK players that have already peaked. They seem to have addressed this problem recently and are letting one of their mistakes come to us. Fielden as an example is a strange one because I don't think he's been awful, just not as good as he was at Bradford.

Your wingers don't have to be outstanding world class players.

He has pace which is vital in that position. As long as he can form a good understanding with whoever is playing at centre inside him he should go ok as defensively the can assist each other through the game

A good signing I think, he has pace which is what you want from your wingers. His marker defence will be useful too, hopefully it might rub off on a few people.

yeh, but has he still got it? most of the pies fans would say not.

To be honest I think their recruitment policy has been good, its just whoever has been in charge has never been able to get the best out of them at all for some reason.

At last someone speaks sense! Personally I don't think he would be a bad signing. Yes he's had a bad season, but so have we as a club, does that make us a bad team? No. A winger needs to be fast, have an eye for the tryline, and be reliable under the high ball, Calerwood has all those attributes. He's not the best defender in the world, but does a winger need to be? He's an experienced player who has a good 5-6 years ahead of him, imo a worthwhile signing.

Calderwood aside, has anyone heard any other names we may be linked with?

why would he has thacks been training to play on the wing?

A good signing

His defence is spot on and his exposive pace could be a real assett, we have lacked a speedster like this since Blacklock left.

He had issues at Wigan and clearly his face did not fit into Nobles thinking and with Trent Barret running more then he kicked to his wingers as well.


We have players with a lot less talent then he has proved he has playing this season and conned another contract

Good Signing For me.
We will use our right side a lot next year with crocker over there also with young briscoe at right centre with 2 experienced players either side of him will be good for us with his awesome leg power if he can attract 3 players to the tackle and can off load to calderwood with his pace and ability to exploit gaps our right side will be potent next year.

You will all see next season that this 'explosive pace' is a thing of history.

Have to agree with that!!

we should of signed buchanan!

We should have signed that young winger at Donny. (Raynor mk2)

I concur. Or Sheriffe or even you in front of this liability we have signed.

whos that?

Wayne Reittie is it? Not sure how to spell his surname but I know he's quick. Certainly not the finished article though, makes as many howlers as Penny. A prospect though

so a cheap back up player who could learn off raynor? sounds ideal.

Thats the one. Lots of potential.

Totally agree. Raynor was a rough diamond when we signed him.

Didnt he score a try from within his own half this year on tv, ran straight through everyone and no one caught him, if thats not pace then i dont know what is?
