Quote: Jukesays "Leeds at home end of last season from a loose ball he went 90 yards going away from chasing defenders.

Bradford play offs from a loose ball/interception - 90 yards again going away from defenders!

Countless occasions when he covered from right wing to catch breaks made down our left centre.

Notice both weren't from good passes from centres which he struggled to get in his 3 seasons at Wigan.'"


End of the day in a wigan shirt 58 sl games 17 tries, in a FC shirt 19g 6 tries. End point = gash.

He never touched the f*cking ball unless he picked it up from dummy half. He played outside Phil Bailey and Darryl Goulding FFS. One can't pass and the other refuses to.

Oh so the question you asked is not the answer you wanted!

32 tries in 72 games for Wigan = Try every 0.44444

Roberts has scored 12 in 32 = Try every 0.375 - Is he Gash as Well?????? (That's not a question for DaveO or anyone else icon_wink.gif )

Richards in his 1st 2 x seasons scored 28 in 58 = Try every 0.48 Yet at the end of 2007 he was being voted as "Superman!".

I for one think Roberts is a Far better All round Winger and I am glad we did the swap.

But to criticise Calderwood for his strike rat or for not being quick enough or not b eing interested is just ludicrous!

If you want to say he's Gash then fair enough your entitiled to your opinion but to make up "Facts" to try and prove your point! Your going to have to come up with some better ones!

And just where have I been making up facts icon_rolleyes.gif ?
The stats come from the SL site itself not wikipedea (and I know you've got them for C&W)icon_wink.gif . And I think your blinded by your love of our former no2 to see that in fact he was poor at his time here. He let countless tries against us when stopped and let opposing winger ground the ball. I remeber him having one good half against Bradford in the PO and a good game against Leeds the following year, O' yeah and against PIA when Bailey (who can't pass) gave him a field day at least 2 where over the line and all he had to do was drop with the ball.
Also as I stated earlier a lot of the FC fans dont rate him either, so we are all wrong? Or perhaps you think I am making that up as well?

I do have a lot of time on my hands fishing and all to make up stuff.

Roberts & Richards are infinately better than Calderwood.

Him not getting a pass is a falacy, how many tries have we scored wide this year?

Richards & Roberts have heart/quality. Calderwood doesnt.

He's slowed down a bit now, but he was like off a shovel at Leeds

Quote: lothlorian "how anyone can commet on phil clarke is beyond me. Of course he is a little biased but hemmings is embarrassing. Every week he cums in his pants over saints and warrington whether they are playing or not. he nearly chokes everytime he has to praise wigan, Clarke even tipped KR tonight. I know alot of neutrals who would love to see Clarke as a main commentator. his knowledge of the game and analysis are head and shoulders above the reprebate that is hemmings who has never played or being involved in the game in his life. !!!!'"



Just watched the game and couldnt put it better I HATE THE GUY!!!!!!!!

Clarke was hugely biased in his commentary yesterday but he needed to be to counteract the ridiculous anti-Wigan nonsense from Hemmings.

A word to all those Noble defenders, Eddie thinks we should keep him; that's almost reason enough in itself to part company with BN!

If Eddie said that last night, then he is being - as usual - a mischief-making, shtt-stirring Warrington barsteward. The deal re. Noble was sorted ages ago, and he knows that perfectly well.

He didn't expressly say we should keep him... he did though question in what sounded like a surprised tone why when he had such a good play-off record we would part company with BN, the implication being Wigan would be foolish to do so...

Calderwood is faster than some people think. He caught Slater in the World Cup while jogging.

Quote: jjb10 "And just where have I been making up facts
There are so many things incorrect here I don't know where to start!

No blind love for Calderwood, he was one of our 2 x best wingers in his time at the club and had very very few Bad Games.

You said he wasn't quick, asked for eveidence & I gave you some examples! He's still one of the quickest and given space not many would catch him.
That's not me saying he's one of the Best, I never said that, but again you didn't check what I'd put beofre saying I was a calderwood Lover!

Plus I see the Hull FC Fans voted him supporters player of the Year!
Not bad for soemone who "Many" Hull FC fans don't rate!

PS

So Yes I do think your Making it up!

PPS

He was the Best England Winger at the World Cup & Made Gardner look like the Donkey he is! And Yet Gardner has a WCC, a SL Title & 3 CC to his name so it shows what playing in a good team can do!
