You must be kidding, is there any wonder players look at us negatively when they see things like this for almost every signing we make.

We have Craig Hall and Tom Briscoe already we don't need any more "potential".

and both are NOT wingers

is more a centre.

well said

Are you sure?

I agree but people are saying they'd sooner see them played on the wing than sign Calderwood.

Yes I'm sure, we need a blend of young potential and experienced players and at the moment our backline for 2009 doesn't have too much experience in depth.

A player that will go looking for work if it doesnt come his way. Not a world beater but im quite pleased with this signing.

I for one am pleased.

We made a big fuss and celebrated when both Blacklock and Sing were signed, and at times they showed some great pace. Yet bot of these players were former top NRL players -with Sing having really top pedegree.

I think we should celebrate the sigining of Calderwood in the same vien. Afterall, if we signed an Aussie winger who had been top try scorer in any season in the NRL, we would be shouting from the rooftops, even if his recent form hadn't been quite up to much.

With Calderwood, we forget that it was only 3 seasons ago that he topped the scoring charts, and although he didn't find that form at Wigan, he has performed pretty well this season. Yet because we see British players week in week out, we tend to look at recent form only, compared to when we look at Aussie signings when we assess their performance over a career. Lets give the Brits we sign the same applause we give the aussies

you never know doubters the man may just surprise you...dont any ov you doubters ever give anyone a chance,i reckon most ov you lot that didnt want thackery back are now singing his praises ffs stop moaning the man hasnt pulled a black and white jersey on yet give him a small chance at least.

No, you're right! Everything's fine, we never make poor signings and this one will make me eat my words. We will storm to the top of the Super League next year, winning the Challenge cup, the minor premiership and the grand final and Calderwood will undoubtedly finish top of the tryscoring charts. Dykes will start every single game and declare he's so fit he's renewing his contract for another two years. Todd Byrne will win man of steel and beer prices will drop to £2 a pint. This on top of the season pass price freeze will make it the best season in our history.

Congratulations, you've finally seen the light.

All hail the twiglet!
