what has mark done to you? i dont get it.

Typo fixed for you.

Why are Wigan getting rid of good old English Winger Calderwood?

WHAT HAS HE DONE TO APPLAUD THE SIGNING!!! Nothing.

i'm sure motu, gareth and mark will sort something out between them!

My god! It's not personal FFS! I'm just sick to the back teeth of us signing poor players. I have nothing against the bloke but I rate him as a player that has lost his pace. I was angry when we were rumoured to be signing Dykes and I'm angry with this signing. Believe you me, I'll be overjoyed if he proves me wrong but no-one in the last few seasons has done. No doubt if he fails you will blame poor service rather than poor player recruitment though.

i think it is personnal, you dont like that he and joleen lescott have the same hair.

Because Noble doesn't rate him or play to his strengths, Noble coaches 5 drives and a kick to a high standard and if you're not 15 stone you're not good for his gameplan.

HTH

I'm not far off TBH!

Come on. I am not certain aout Calderwood at all. If it means him instead of developing Tom Briscoe then its an error IMo (and I do realise Tom is not a winger) Like Raggytash, I hope I am wrong but am not sure of this one at all personally.

And lets face it, we don't have to sit here and blindly love every player who signs. we should support them mind and we all will do. That said, we are entitled to our opinions

That's the point though, we don't want to be developing Briscoe as a winger. Yes he has been very good whilst filling in this year but if we are to allow him to develop in his natural position we must not get drawn into forcing him into covering all the time. We only have one natural winger at the club next season (until Calderwood signs) and that will only hinder Briscoe (and Hall).

I know what you are saying. not sure if Hall and Briscoe will play regualrly though. What about Whiting and Graham Horne?

I reckon we may have to end up being ruthless at some point. I think we on paper have a very good side, just wish it would transpose onto the pitch. Time will tell I guess.

average at best. Will probably be a stand out player for us next season given the garbage around him

Would be acceptable if put alongside other big name signings but Crocker apart it ain't !!

Another small three quarter with suspect defence - surely one of our many weaknesses this season.

Really thought we would go for a big powerful player such as Evans or Peter Fox.

Concerned, very concerned.

If you are on about James Evans, then I hope you are joking

Exactly. Even when Calderwood was at Leeds, had a fantastic season and was arguably the best British winger in the game at the time, Noble didn't pick him for GB

2 SL try's this season or am I wrong?

Surely this is a wind up?

Gardner and Raynor where far better than him. And Carney was always on that list. His international caps surely prove that Calderwood will never be any good. And I aren't just a 'bitter rovers fan' or anything like that, cos I think, there are plenty of upset Hull fans by this signing

Your all saying pathetic signing are you alll on glue? that was the best option hes british and he can always pick up his career again, the right move IMO well done Hull FC.

Arhh nooo.. we can't have been watching the same games over past couple of years?? Can't agree Blacklock was similar to Sing... old, injured and slow. At least Calderwood is a bit younger and has some speed.

Is that legal?

Confirmed on the Hull FC website. Welcome Mark

Not unhappy with this signing, but can't help but feel that this...


...is slightly over-egging the pudding.

welcome to hull fc mr calderwood lets hope you can look like the player you was for leeds!

Happy with this signing.

Some people will point to his lack of tries recently but they might want to remember our two first choice wingers this season scored eight in Super League between them.

Good signing. Welcome Mark. Lets hope we can get you a decent centre partner now.
