He didn't get enough ball last night imo and i hope that was a one off but he did come inside looking for it and got a couple of scoots in.

His defence apart from that one error was superb, he tackles well above his weight.

late in the game he just seemed to disappear and Manu was in his spot,i looked and then i saw him out on the left wing



Showed good team spirit by coming right across the pitch to see how Byrne was after he was winded.

I hope Calders can produce the sort of form for you guys that he showed at Leeds.



We never got to see the best of him here due to a couple of reasons imo, first of all I don't think Nobby really rated him and then he never really got the service he got at Leeds.



Our play under Nobby is pretty basic rugby and even the likes of Brett Dallas would have struggled with the style we play.



Good luck to Calders.





PS - When the opposing kicker kicks a high ball to his wing, your hearts will go in your mouths. Trust me

Any try coming off of the back of a kick to Richards should only be worth 2 points

Wests wouldn't have even made the 8 in 2005 if that was the case.

Correct but calderwood would have a higher wet to dry ratio (just made that up) than the average back

I thought it was a bit odd 'Alderwoo' not clapping the fans with the rest of the team after the match. I've never been a big fan of Calderwood but he plays for us now so I must warm to him. Thought he did well whilst being outplayed by a local youngster

I thought that too but then again, he was limping very slightly and I think the cramp he got near the end of the game was still hurting him. I think he just wanted to get to the dressing room to get it sorted.

Is there a winger who reads a game better than him, whenever there was a break he was there to effect the tackle. If we can get the ball to him in space more often he is going to be a great signing. No negatives from me tonight as I cant see anyone else would have stopped Richards scoring as I thought the kick was better than inch perfect and Richards arrived at the exact moment the ball did to snatch it from his grasp

I know he didnt.



A week before that game and that right centre spot could have gone to one of threee players and may still change game by game.

So during training for the week G Horne wasnt running through the moves in that position then? I beg to differ.

You go stalker boy.



My post reads a week before not days before.



My point is that Yeaman basically has the left Centre spot sewn up. The right Centre spot will probably change between three or four players throughout the season possibly making it harder for Calderwood to forge a relationship with his Centre.

nope, why do i need to go to know these things?



Agree though that its likely that someone else will play in that position this season. No one will get a chance though while Horne is playing like he is.



Interesting to see whether Briscoe gets given the chance when Raynor comes back.
