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

All being fully fit of course.

Calderwood was SL's top try scorer when we signed him. Roberts is yet to prove himself, its only 1 game in.

In fairness he isn't. Roberts is much more classy than Calderwood and will contribute much more to the team. But as you say, we will see..



But he didnt perform like SL's top try scorer when here, so what had gone before is irrlevant.

Calderwood spent his time at Wigan without any service and it seems that Roberts is going to do the same..


The truth is we should never have signed Calderwood or indeed Roberts we should have strengthened in other areas.

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.

Surely Keith won't be exposed in the papers again!

seems like noble doesn't like to get the ball out to his wingers

You say this but how was Vainakolo top try scorer almost every year in Super League and how was Pat Richards our top try scorer last year?

On paper and on his nrl experience, yes... but it certainly didnt look that way on sunday

give him a few games. same with the rest of the lads. it's going to take something special for us to play as bad as we did last sunday.
