Calderwood didn't look 100%fit to me in the U20's defeat - no point rushing him back

Would Meli be used correctly?

#
yeh he would fit in great in the backrow, to big for a winger

well if he aint 100% fit then he shoudnt be playing at all no matter what level, hamstring tears are major injuries and your either fit enough to play or not fit enough to play. surley hes ready for thursday hes had 2 reserve grade games now

No he's not !!

What makes you think that? Wilf is normally pretty accurate with what he hears.

I know he is, but i just happen to know that Calders isn't signing for Salford and never 'asked' to be played in the 20s

Well the plot thickens then......specialist winger not in the team



I thought it was just Justiniho who sulked with his players...

Either way, he won't be here next season

Well that i'm not doubting... He is very angry about not being selected when fully fit. As i said a couple of weeks ago, he was fully fit and wasn't in the squad and not happy about it. A situation that is made worse when someone like Richard Horne just waltzes back into the squad and certainly not on merit!!!

Paul, pro sport is full of "whats ifs" after a loss my friend

Meli would be a really good signing and two years would be perfect as that allows Lyne to develop.

I thought that tbh...in fact I posted it on here, bet O'Meley does not have to go in the 20s, nor did Tom Briscoe when he was out long term.....really stupid and proving costly to the team and fans....AGAR GET IT SORTED

The thing is, i don't mind to a certain extent. But Horne just doesn't have the quality to command that sort of treatment, thet's why it must like a kick in the teeth for the other players in the squad. Plenty of questions for Agar tomorrow me thinks!!

But he is a senior player, commanding a high wage



Hope you get the answers...but what I hope for is to see Calders playing on Thursday

Likewise... but it won't happen!!

If you had seen MC play in the reserves then you would understand why he was left out......the bloke has been out for months, looked very nervous....missed several tackles and did not catch one single ball on the full!! He obviously has lost his confidence in a lot of departments and needs time in the reserves to build back up again before he is exposed to 1st team rugby. IMO Agar has done the right thing by Calders not to rush him back and given more fit players available to him might have done the same thing with Horne.

Or maybe he just doesn't give a about playing in the reserves because he's been hung out to dry. How many minutes did Horne play in the reserves last week then to warrant a place in the side this week?? (and based on his performance needs to be dropped from the squad anyway)

Lots of first team play poorly when they are in the reserves/U20's and the majority of the time they are only playing there to get match fitness back. I am pretty sure Meley/Long etc wont be spending time in the reserves when they return from injury.

Based on a short stint at hooker (a position he has rarely played in his career) after a long lay-off?

Should we drop every player who had a poor game on Saturday? Or just the ones that are cool to slag off?

I think anyone expecting much of Horne on saturday was surely kidding themselves. It takes time to get back into it like we saw earlier in the season, he played a few average games then produced two cracking ones before getting another knock.

Not at all, Horne is not a player i rate at all. He doesn't fill me with confidence when his name is on the team sheet and when he returns from an injury i don't think 'Thank god for that, we've missed him' as i would with Tansey, Briscoe, Long, O'Meley, Fitz and many others.........

But the actual point i made was that Calderwood has returned from injury and then been made to sit on the sidelines when 100% fit, then been made to play u20s and frozen out by the club, while Mr Average just walks straight back into the squad and was shiiiiiite!!!

yes i do,and just to add i dont see him been here next season.

and just a little tip for you,dont believe everything you read on here,also the amount of people voicing there opinions on here are just a very small percentage of our fanbase.
