"Wigan weren't going to offer me a contract I might have wanted so I decided to move on. Hull came in for me and I decided to come here but I had happy times there.

"There are 26 lads there who I will be mates with for the rest of my life and I have nothing bad to say about the club - they looked after me and my family.

"I still keep in touch with my mates there so it is going to be a bit weird but I will put that aside and we will only have a chat after the game."

from SL top try scorer to average looking winger in the space of a few months. one of the previous posts was spot on when they said noble never fancied him. seems like noble doesn't like to get the ball out to his wingers and that's what calders needed and wanted. give even a half decent winger time and space and he'll get you tries.... look at gardner.

Should get a clap but I dont imagine him being the difference tomorrow.

He wont be, but he will work his socks off to prove a point to Wigan, all this talk about Wigan offering him a contract to stay was complete tosh. Noble didnt rate him as a player, so we got shut.

I think we should bomb him all night long

With Pat Richards breathing down his neck all game.

Give him no reaction what so ever, he's not our player anymore.

When I spoke to him a while back, I asked why he didnt play the night before? He answered "I dont know"

So i asked are you leaving at the end of the season? He said it looks like it, I dont have much of a relationship with the coaches. Or something along those lines.

Noble didn't rate him and we have signed a better player to replace him.

This is yet to be proved though isn't it.

In what way?

Roberts is a better player and it won't be a stretch for him to achieve more than Calderwood did.
