Calderwood is not of the required quality for Hull FC to challenge in SL, that is a simple fact. There are no other FC players in the squad so I can't make comment on them, so whilst it looks like I am singling Calderwood out I am not.'"
I don't think this forum needs 'people like you' or any other kind of people with specific roles tbh. People should give their honest opinion and not try to come accross in a certain way.
Calderwood is a very good winger and he has shown that over the years in SL. He has had a very good end to the season for both club and country and imo is exactly what we need.

I don't have a "specific role", it's just I don't follow the popular opinion on things, I form my own.

Sometimes people seem to go against the popular opinion for the sake of it I find.
Sometimes I see a genuine point but other times I just see some people's views are FC bashing for the sake of it.
I tend to say what I feel whether its pro or anti the club.

Fair enough, I don't take any deliberate stance, I take each issue as I find, the club are doing a lot of things wrong at the moment in my eyes, and have been doing for some time.

Yes, but not often enough to know individual players etc. (as I don't live in Hull, or in fact, very near at all).
If we don't have people coming through that are even worth a gamble then we're doing something wrong.

Jack Briscoe is coming through but he is nowhere near ready as he has hardly played for the Reserves this season mainly in the Academy. He is the best winger we have coming through though.

Plenty of last seasons reserves have now left the club and signed for NL clubs. TBH I think Hull will struggle at reserve grade and acadamy grade for a few years now, particularly with Rovers being so active in this area.

Maybe so, however, every couple of years you do tend to see us get rid of a batch of players that havent made it and refresh the squad.

True, but what i will say is that two or three of them were offered one of those 'elite junior' contracts by Hull, but turned them down.

It is a concern if we are losing youngsters that we should be hanging on to.

In 1935 The Dragon Slayers as they were known defeated Canterbury bulldogs 91-6, which is still the biggest win in the Club's History. In 1907, the St George district had a club in the Sydney rugby union competition. Interestingly, the team's area was referred to as the 'Illawarra suburbs'. A resolution to form a St George rugby league club was made at a local meeting held in early 1908, but the movement faltered and collapsed. St George, wearing the district colours of red and white, played in the NSWRL's Third Grade competition in 1910, and formed a President's Cup team in 1911. References were found at the time to district teams being called 'The Saints'.the perfect 11

Most of the best Juniors are still signing for Hull, certainly at under 16 level.

Makes me laugh when people say about Rovers are gonna start getting the best youngsters. The side i coach has the Yorkshire 'Top Gun' at 14's and him and his whole family are Rovers barmy and are all passholders but he is still chose to go to Hull FC as he knows the system we have in place is far superior.
