I never said Calderwood played crap, I simply pointed out that he made a huge mistake in not being able to take a simple high ball with very little pressure on him.

Didn't do such a good job a little later on when Slater turned him inside out but Slater can do that to most players.

Gilmore has gone imo,we are a prop light as Graham and Maurie are not upto it and we need another hooker.

winning like never before. decoys. mouse traps. chicken wings. lollie pops. shepperds. the crusher. grapples. big league. 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

He would have given us options within team, Yes he is getting on now but constantly rolling out Senior is getting embarrassing.How many more coaches are going to pick the same players that constantly fail at international level.

So we play a 2nd rower at centre...even Atkins would have been better.
Smiths subtituions where baffling as well,Morley,Peacock and Eliss off at the same time was criminal.

Never mentioned anything about Gardner, my post was in reply to someone saying Calderwood was one of our top players.
I know 'fook all', please tell me the the points in my post where I have got it completely wrong!

Think I must have watched a different game to most people. In the game I watched, Calderwood made one mistake when he dropped a high ball (several others (inc Ozzies) did too) but other than that had a fine game.
Roby and him were the only players worth a mention - Calderwood showed plenty of desire and completely showed up Gardner. The fact that Australia scored most of their tries on Gleeson and the wandering Gardner's wing speakes volumes.
And Calderwood seems to have had no raps for running diagonally across the pitch to intercept Slater on Gardner's wing when Gardner was left dithering in Slater's wake. Calderwood forced him to hesitate and had the non-existant back-up been there Slater wouldn't have scored. Instead Calderwood gets slagged for falling on Slater's head - well at least he was there!!
Ok, I know there's not much of a British talent pool to pick from, but I'm starting to think that the best 2 British wingers both play for Hull FC.
