Take a bow Mark.

I know there are plenty who question this bloke but I think anyone could see last night the value & difference he makes to the side when he's in it. I know he bombed a score with the line at his mercy but I'm willing to forgive him that. I hope that he remains fit for the remainder of the season and that we come to some arrangement that will see him stay at the club. He gives 100% every time the shirt gets pulled on, still has a good turn of pace and he gets to the opposition.

Oh, and he likes a ruck too & I've never seen him take backward step.

Agree...with all that, the difference is he is a specialist winger, plus he has attitude which helps

Agree, altought there is no chance he will be here next season

Good to see him back in the team. A great chase through and kick back in field for Berro to pick up and score. We've missed his enthusiasm.

The thing I like about Calderwood is that our kick and chase vastly improves when he is around.

Really like him and the way he bounced back from his awful error shows what a good player he is.

Hull are the doing the right thing though by not keeping him, too many injuries as seen last night.

Any news on his injury HDM states its the hamstring again ??

If out.

Plaese Mr Agar leave Whiting in the middle.

Play Hall or Lynne on the wing.

Agree about Whiting been utilised more central, aside from his miss on Newton I thought he did very well there.

Did Whiting play?.

Have to agree, a group of us said last night that we really have missed Calderwood and if he leaves at the end of the season (due to injury) we are going to struggle to find someone to replace him.

Likewise. He's a very good player with a top attitude. If he is leaving, I'll be sorry to see the back of him.

Thought he was a good signing when he came, real shame about his injurys.

I thought whiting shared the fb and so rolls with tansey, with tansey doing the harder aspects of both parts.

I have to say, I don't think it was such a good idea to keep switching them. We won the game, so it's hard to be too critical, but Tansey dropped a couple of high balls at key moments and put us under pressure. Whiting, I think, is better under the high ball, better in defence (his nightmare tackle on Newton aside), and returns the ball stronger from a long kick. Tansey obviously excels in the attacking parts of the FB role, but when he's playing halfback, I'd prefer to see Whiting at the back all the time.

One thing I don't get is why when he did make the howler, we didn't get a scrum, no advantage was played from the knock-on by the Rovers player (Briscoe I think)

That's the issue, he just keeps picking up injuries.

In terms of performances he always adds so much to our game through his enthusiasm, okay he bombed a try but he helped set up two others.

I really though the try he bombed was going to cost us but the kick for Berro's try was sublime and he was great in defence.

If his hamstring has gone again I think that might be the last we see of him in a Hull shirt.

It was great to see him again last night and he plays with a smile on his face. Yes he coughed a glaring try, but that aside he was involved throughout. Such a shame about his injuries, I like the bloke and he adds more variety (and laughter - it's a bit like watching the keystone Cops sometimes!)

Made himself look a muppet with that miss but redeemed himself 100% and more


A quality player who seems to still have the enthusiasm and team spirit to stay in our side for a good few years yet with an injury free run.
Will be sorry to see him go if true but after last night and the amount of service he got (did he get a pass?) i can't see any replacement doing a better job.

Imagine how many he'd get in a season if had someone like Gidley inside him.

You hit the nail on the head there though. There's been much talk about recruiting a top class winger but I think the money would be wasted as our wingers seldom find themselves in an attacking position to use their skill.

True. Our wingers see most of the ball when they are running it out of defence on the first or second tackle.

Yeah - but as a coach you change your tactics depending on the personnel you have.

If we had a top class winger on either side, i reckon we'd see the ball thrown out there more.
Keep Briscoe on 1 side, and maybe invest in a another pace merchant like the guy from Huddersfield or even peter fox (he's quick!)

Im not saying we 'should' buy those guys - but we need some pace on either flank.
And if we get that - we change our tactics.

Our current GB winger isn't 'top class' enough for you?

I don't think we would, we're simply not capable.
