I hate to say it, but spot on Pete -
People constently slag Claderwood off but of course we play such expansive rugby and utilise our wing so much don't we

| Quote ="KNOCK OFF NIGEL"
The only criticism I have of him is his running from dummy half and even that I guess is a call from the coaches. He's a speed merchant not a power merchant and never going to bust tackles hence his dying with the ball on contact.'"
Which would Calderwood or any other winger rather do?
come inside and scoot the ball against a pack from a standing start or being slipped a pass so he gets a nice piece of space to run into against his opposite winger?
no brainer for me but hes only looking to get his hands on the ball from this harder option.

Briscoe hasn't done anything of note since the first couple of games. Calderwood has been much more noticable than Briscoe, in a positive way

Calderwood tries much harder than Briscoe, takes the ball up more, tackles better and with more passion. He looks to do more work than Briscoe. To say that Calderwood has been poor is laughable. He has barely had a good ball and the only time he gets to chase a ball now is on the last tackle and the winger has usually dropped back anyway. The only time Calderwood ha slooked poor is when a high bomb is put up to him.
Briscoe started well, he looked strong and wanted to get involved. Now I feel he looks average in defence, doesn't look to get involved as much and is less effective. He too though has been hindered by a lack of good ball although he gets more than Calderwood. I certainly havent seen this supposed 'flair' though.
Briscoe will be a star, but I really think that he isn't criticised due to his age, whereas Calderwood is criticised because alot of people didn't like him before he came here and he is expected to be superman basically

The crazy thing is, Blacklock did get 20 tries a seaosn for us yet there were some who expected him to be able to cover three man overlaps.

You are, of course, entitled to your opinion.
No matter how wildly wide of the mark it may be.

| Quote ="The Key"Some of the stick he gets in the stands is shocking. Even Yeaman gets some stick, and Tommy Lee still does. These are three of the only players I have seen this season who have never stopped trying whether they have had bad games or not. Why don't the likes of Tickle, R.Horne and Berrigan get stick? These three have offered bugger all and dson't even seem to be trying for at least the past 6 games (Berrigan nothing all season for me, with Tickle only showing up at Celtic. Horne obviously fantastic for the first 4 games).
It's the top players at this club who generally need to be getting stick, along with Thorman plus Agar and his coaching set up. Thorman is doing naff all, he is even worse than what he was during his spell at fullback for Hudds. And the gameplan, motivation, tackling technique etc is awful and something Agar and his coaching set up need to sort out, or go (the latter been my pre-ferred option). Jon Sharp was meant to be improving our defence this season. What a joke yesterdays attempts at tackling were, and we have been very poor and inconsistant in this area in all but two games this season (Wigan and Catalans)'"
I used to be a fan of Yeaman's but there are far too many who hold a candle for his past performances of 5 years ago.
Someone laughably described him as world class on this forum not that long ago.
A player of his experiance should have more with the ball in hand than, head down and simply to plough head on into the on running tackler. He has no side step and doesn't pass the ball to his wing man when opportunity knocks.
He is robust in defence but all too often (and this is not just singling him out, King and Manu are well guilty of this), he jumps out of the defencive line only to miss a tackle resulting is a huge overlap generally resulting in us conceding a try.
On current performance should that elusive world class centre sign for us, Yeaman would be the one making way for him.
