Yet to be proven that BNs judegement is right, and we have signed a player what in all fairness is the same as Calderwood. He needs a centre to bring him space to use his pace.
I would of much preferred our back line on Sunday just gone to be -
Richards
Calderwood
Carmont
Goulding/Pryce
Roberts
Calderwood's game mainly depends on the centre inside him.
If he's given the correct service then he'll do his job, but he needs the right tools to do his job correctly.
With Walker outside him whilst at Leeds, he had a solid partnership and good understanding with his centre and they combined well, but at Wigan he had very little service and no foundations to build up a good centre/wing partnership.
Tonight we must be wary of Greame Horne and his attempts to draw/beat defenders to open up space for Calderwood. Luckily for us, we'll have Carmont and Richards up against them.

Roberts is a better player and it won't be a stretch for him to achieve more than Calderwood did.
On paper and on his nrl experience, yes... but it certainly didnt look that way on sunday
A purple patch inspired on his home ground by man of the match WIGAN CAPTAIN Sean O’Loughlin produced three tries in an eight-minute spell just before half-time, and the GB Lions added two more after the break to maintain Smith’s 100 per cent record as Great Britain coach.
