Burnett

CONFIRMED - Calderwood dropped.

Agar please leave now.

A place for the Briscoe then.

He is not the worlds best winger but christ, when he's played for you his enthuiasm has not been picked up by his teammates. He would be last on my list to drop.

any reason given?

Is it purely to accomodate Tom Briscoe?

I guess so.

Our most enthusiastic and commited player misses out. What message does this send out to the rest of the squad?

I agree it seems very harsh.

However one of Hall, Yeaman or Raynor would have to miss out to accomodate Tom Brisoce if not Calderwood.

No, apparently Calderwood spit his dummy out. Whether we agree or not Agar is the boss and he is right to stamp his authority no matter which player this may involve.

Dont have an issue with that cos at the end of the day Briscoe is a top performer. As I said earlier one of Hall, Yeamo, Raynor or Calderwood would have to make way for Briscoe. Tough call.

Hello? Calderwood is playing consistently well. You dont drop him for a player who is 18 and ring rusty in a game you HAVE to win.

What did he spit his dummy out for anyone know ?

I figured out you had no brains months ago

dont know how true this is but i heard from a fellow rovers fan that calderwood had been offered to bradford in a straight swap deal with one of their players (cook?) without calderwoods knowledge. calderwood then kicked off as he is very happy at hull. as i say dont know how true this is.

Err hello but I am not saying Calderwood should have been dropped but Tom Briscoe is a top performer. The coach has made the call.

If we lose and dont play Brisoce then I suppose its a case of...hello. you have a GB elite player and dont play him!



Tough call.

Since when? Has he played for GB or England? no. Has Calderwood? yes.


Dont promote him before his time.

If this is the team I am left speachless

, our most enthusastic player in Claderwood left out , Whiting , who admitted he has only played full back when he was a junior but is / was a natural halfback put at full back and Tansey who wants to be a full back , is a full back put at 6 even if you don't want Whiting at 6 for god sake put Lee there . I'm sorry but Agar you leave me speachless , role on 6/7 games into next season when you are sacked !!

He has been selected matey thats a FACT. An elite squad was picked a while ago.

Call yourself a rugby fan!

Did he play? That elite squad was so big it could have included me.

He hasnt played for his country (FULL), FACT. Calderwood has, FACT.

It's a disgrace if he has been dropped PURELY to accommodate Briscoe. Yeaman and Briscoe should have effectively been fighting for the one centre spot left available as they were both returning at the same time and everyone else has been in form.

SHOCKING man management by Agar. Again showing he doesn't have what it takes. We need to win this game.

The elite squad wasnt big at all - 19-20 players at tops with an eye on future world cups!!!

I am not talking to you anymore cos you dont know what you are talking about.



Karl Pratt once played for his country...FACT.

And you do by not disagreeing about dropping Calderwood.

Spat his dummy out about what?
