Hmmm.............

Came from the horses mouth when in Australia. I didn't ask Nobby but a couple of my friends did and Nobby told them the truth, IL wouldn't give Liam the money he wanted which still wasn't much compared to other players at Wigan and KR gave him a good offer he couldn't refuse. I understand that Huddersfield, Quins and Salford shown some interest aswell.

But anyway, you have a good player in Liam and hope he continues to do well for you. Apart from when you play Wigan of course

please! if your taking about the way he's been playing and the positive affect he's having on your side then great, i'm glad to see hkr fans on here tbh, but why go on about calderwood?

why not compare him to ade gardner?

Because ade gardner plays 4 saints and the post was comparing the wingers WIGAN let go

Of the 2 wingers Wigan released, there is no doubt in my mind we got the better deal. I never thought he would let us down as the kid looked pretty solid in the games I watched him play in last season.
Not really put a foot a wrong in the games he has featured in this season and finished off a superb try which looked like it needed alot of work to get it over the line.

That is definate for sure, I know for a fact that Nobby wanted to keep Liam but IL didn't. For many games last year Liam kept Calderwood out of the team which resulted in Calderwood playing a few reserves game.

Chairman telling the coach who to buy and sell

Happens though, thank goodness Kath pulled out the Dobson deal...always believed she would make a good coach

It's happened with our hooker aswell, even though I'm happy with Piggy Nobby originally wanted to go for Michael Ennis but was wanting alot more than Piggy.

As for Dobbo, can we swap him with Smith please? Tomkins and Dobson as half backs would be nice

Get your filthy cherry and white paws off our Dobbo!!!

Sheldon, I'm still waiting for you to prove that Balsawood is a better signing than Colbon?

Ok, so you tell me where Calderwood is so impressive? Try to talk about it without mentioning his one off special performance that gained him an undeserved trip to the world cup.

He was impressive against Celtic.
The kit lady was very happy that his shirt was still so clean after the game.

that wasn't my point though, as you know, the point was you started a thread about colbon and for no apparent reason you felt the need to bring up one of hull fc's players.

the same as enlightened has just done bringing up our board.

why not discuss your player?

Colbons versatility alone makes him much better IMO. Plus Balsawood is a complete nob

We didn't need versatility, we needed an out and out winger which is what Calderwood is.
