He's a player I've always liked. Put the effort in for Quins last year but he was just far too slow.

I think given a couple of weeks to get back up to fitness again he will prove to be quite a decent signing in Championship 1. Probably not as fast as he used to be but still quite quick the last time I saw him play last season.

Hope he does well. He was one of the best wingers in the league at his peak and shoul've been in the GB side a lot sooner, shame injuries have probably finished his career at the top level.

watch the 2004 GF. he was way faster. nowhere near as strong but who was?

You got mixed up between playing against him for your club (remembering him as being 'average') and watching from the sidelines against another club?

Maybe you get some sort of gratification from spounting bull over the internet, giving it the big, 'I played against a SL player and he was average', chatter, I don't know?

What is so newsworthy about some amateur team signing an amateur that it deserves a thread on the vt?

Anyway, sinfield summed it best after their last gf win. If only the amateur calderwood had heeded those words

He thought the grass was greener at Wigan and look how he has fallen. I never rated him at leeds, he was fast and a decent finisher but was terrible under the high ball and would have scored 5 tries a season less under todays rules because the 20 restart rule has bn changed.

World Cup to pennine league 5 in less than 4 years, thats impressive.

Calderwood is a crab

he only runs sideways

Last i saw of him he was working for biffa in leeds collecting bins only a few weeks ago.

I hope he can get back on his feet in rugby league but even if he does he'll only have a few more years if he's lucky.

I think he should look to his future career and put rugby behind him, he had a decent career at his peak, won a grand final and WCC, played and scored in a CC final and went to the world cup in australia, it's more than many.

I think he was unfortunate after leaving leeds. At the time he joined both wigan and hull they were sort of going through unstable times and had changes in the coaches, plus disruption by injury and he wasn't really able to kick on, but he put in some outstanding performances for wigan, especially the FE in 2008 at leeds when he single handedly saved 3 or 4 tries in the second half.

Calderwoods main facet was his pace. He wasn't big or powerful, just really fast and energetic with kick chases. So when injuries caught up with him as well as age and his pace faded teams haven't really seen much use in him and he's drifted off the radar.

Even if he had stayed at leeds instead of going to wigan in 2006, i certainly don't think he'd be playing for them now and theres a decent chance he would still have drifted off the radar.

Are you sure you are not confusing him with Raynor?
Calderwood played well enough at Hull,his injury put paid to him for us I.M.O.

Hope he goes well for you boys, he gave 100% for Hull each game, the faithfull took to him for that, when so called bigger names hid away. Chased a lost cause and created a winning try against KR so he will be remebered for that alone

No, having seen many of his days at Headingley I have seen many of his shocking displays of 'wing play'
