Isn’t that a bit of a contradiction? The reason he wasn’t used as well as he should have been was because his quota spot/salary was preventing us bringing in what we needed, a playmaker.

Thats what I thought!

i think calderwood would be great if he got the ball in a decent enough place



the only time he gets it if g.horne is in trouble

Nail hammer thwack.



But to some its his fault he doesn't get the ball

He hasn't seen the ball FFS. He hasn't cost us anything in defence. He has not performed badly.

he may not get the ball, but he's rubbish under the high ball. any team can see this so they aim there kicks at him. the sooner raynor gets back the better

Why Raynors not much better under the high ball!



Regardless of Raynor coming back or not, Calderwood won't be dropped for Gaz.

And how many tries has that cost us? Compared to, say, the opposite wing?

Indeed. From what I've seen Briscoe is just as iffy under the high ball at present but nobody is getting on him back.

I'd say he's much more iffy, plus he's worse positionally in defence. He'll always have a much greater impact in attack though, due to how we play/our wingers are used.

And yet people still expect Calderwood to be dropped. If you watch most games on Sky you will see wingers all over the comp being put under pressure by great kicking games, our wingers are no worse or better than any other teams imho

True.



Let's see how he goes on the drier pitches and how he attacks when we stop squeezing him into the corner before we pass to him.
