Sorry if i have missed it but does anyone know how long Calders is out for?

For me not only are we missing his experience of playing wing but also his passion and chase.

Just out of interest can any of you knowledgable people tell me how many tries we have conceded so far from the wing areas?

4-6 weeks

is it a torn or pulled hamstring?

Its frustrating to say the least,I had him down as one of our top try scorers pre season.

Not actualy his Hammy, his cycling shorts tore and his bolloks dropped a foot in a rapid movement , very painful indeed

I know this isn't goign to be popular; but am I the only one who thinks he isn't very good anyway?

I think we really miss him tbh. He is always an option when it comes to kicks as he chases so well and his enthusiasm for subsequent marker tackling tends to rub off on others too.

I Like Calders..tbf he has not received enough service since he joined us, he is quick and very effective and strong in the tackle, can't wait for him to return

So it is just me! I've never rated him; thought he was lucky to be in a good Leeds team and never thought he pulled up any trees at Wigan. Would he get into Wire's, Wigan's, Saints', Leeds or, dare I say it, Hull Kr's team? I would say no.

One of the few players that's up for every game, wish more of our players had his enthusiasm.

He's the best soccer player we have - just edging Whiting.

Seriously, give him some ball and let's see what he can do. His passion and heart are CONSISTENTLY there, and defensively he pulls off some stonkers. I love him. And what's more, he's all we've got. I'd happily take another Calders, though, for the other wing.

Me too ,he has proved his enthusiasm, his tackling alone.

Totally agree, he's a joy to watch when he's on form. (did I just say that?)

I used to hate him when he played for the Whino's, I now think he's irreplaceable-definitely in todays climate.

Calderwood is looking alot better than he actually is at the moment due to you guys having not one specialist winger capable of playing to SL standard and for that reason, he really is missed.

He would have shown more enthusiam last Saturday that his team mates did, that's for sure.

"Tackles, chases kicks and shows enthusiasm" hardly the most glowing praise of a winger!

Agree entirely with that he doesn't appear to have the problem of attitude that some others do.

His kick chases are a weapon and tackling is important no matter where you play. If you don't like him fair enough but most fans can see his worth to the side.

As we (Hull Fc) are not renowned for expansive wing play, even though we've had some of the worlds finest wingers on our books, I'd say that's all he has been able to show us over the last two seasons.

calderwood has been great for us, dint think much to him when we signed him but since hes been here he shows great ethusiasm, kick chase, hes very solid and cant recall him making many mistakes whilst been here.

I suppose it depends what you want from a winger; I'd like some threat with ball in hand. I wouldn't question his application but surely enthusiasm, tackling and chasing of kicks is something that should just be a given in any player.

I suppose I was spoilt with Colin Best.

Calderwood = consistency in both attitude and aptitude
one of our stand out players when fit!!

According to Agar this morning he's going to be out for some time, news about his injury sounds worse than first feared.

where did you hear that ?? link??
