can't believe people are so quick to write him off, he spent last season in the worst Hull side of the last 10years, with Thorman running the show.

since then he's been injured and played once..and people are already suggesting we get rid?? madness

Well said.

If the rest of the squad had put in the effort and enthusiasm last season that Mark did we wouldn't have finished 12th.

It was great to have him back on Friday - his chase and tackle on Jones-Bishop summed the bloke up. Hopefully with Long at the club Calders can notch up plenty of tries this season. Its still early in the campaign to think of contracts but I'd like to think he'll eventually get a new 12 month deal.

As above.
Also he can pass bags of experience onto guys like Lynne who are learning their trade.

I would love him to stay.As someone pointed out on here,he needs a bit more service.

It looks like most fans would offer him a new deal, one year. I still think he needs to show abit more.

anyway

Read the on-line HDM chat thing yesterday, in which James Smailes mentioned Tickle, he siad that he was looking to move west last year for personal reasons (think we all knew that), he siad that tickle is now happy in Hull and wants to stay.

Ben impressive so far this season, looks to be getting his form from a couple of seasons ago, I would keep him we have Burnett and Keny coming through, but I expect cusack to go, so we could play Lauaki at prop, leaving Burnett, Tickle, Maun and Fitzgibbon for the backrow positions.

Definetly worth a one year deal imo.

Very good defence, good ideas in attack, when we get the ball to him that is - and that has improved, which is another good reason to keep quality wingers imo. Does need to work a bit on defending kicks though imo.

what other english wingers are they that we could get hall - no chance, fox-again dont think so, raynor-no, hodgson-is he better then calderwood no, cudjoe-good player but not a specilist winger who is still young himself, ainscough - POTENTIAL has his faults but looks a great young player and dont think wigan are that keen or he would be in there team so maybe but i think we need experience. so for me i would keep calderwood unless leeds wanted rid of hall but doubt it haha are they any better english wingers then calderwood apart from hall

Calders has proved me wrong with his work ethic and attitude. There doesn't seem to be a lost cause to him. However, I think he's terrible at finishing. He can have a two metre gap but instead of diving in, he'll cut inside. He also never seems to back his pace and take the opposition on on the outside. I personally think it would be criminal to deprive the young lads a chance but also think it would be harsh on Calders to let him go. Maybe there is another solution such as Briscoe to the centres which obviously raises questions on Hall/Yeaman.

I don't think Hall is better than Calderwood.

I kind of agree with Dave.

As much as I like Calders I've never been a big an of spending lots of money on a winger (I don't know what he earns but I would imagine it is a decent wage). With Lyne knocking on the door who is probably bigger, faster and stronger is it worth keeping him? I suppose I would give him one more year to see how Lyne and Tuffour develop. Tbh we are spoilt for young 3 quarter talent atm. It will be difficult to accomodate T Briscoe, Hall, Lyne, Yeaman, Calders, Turner and Tuffour in the same side, all of which either are, or have the makings of quality players.

Ryan Hall is nothing special imo. Another solid English winger who scores bags of tries because of the players inside him. If you put him in our team last year he would have been no better than Calders what so ever.

He certainly didn't look bigger against Rovers! However, he did back his pace and burned down the wing before getting effectively punched in the face!

i agree about him scoring lots of tries becasue of players inside him but hes a good winger who scored lots of individual tries long range ones ect and ryan hall is better then calderwood

Been mentioned that we are looking at Aaron Murphy from Wakey tho hasnt it ?

i've got the feeling we didn't spend big to get him here, Wigan released him, and noone else seemed to want him. So I woulden't be surprised if we got a bit of bargain.
