Very happy with him so far.

Is doing everything right and it appears Justin has made another astute signing

Agreed. Strong and robust. A great finish from him on Sunday aswell which i didnt necessarily expect from him. Justin said he's not match fit yet and should be at his best in 2/3 games.

Very good signing would like to see him have a go in the 2nd row looks very strong

I've been impressed with his willingness to work driving the ball from our 10/20 metre line.

A good honest grafter that does the simple things well.

I'm glad he's going well for you guys, he was made out as a scapegoat on occasions by some Wigan fans who couldn't see that he is a very useful squad player to have and wouldn't have taken much space on the SC. He's a good friend of mine and has said so far he's enjoying his time up there. He's an honest lad who will always give 100% no matter which position he plays.

I had my doubts about his signing but he's applied himself well and let nobody down.

Out of the two wingers that left Wigan to come to Hull, we got the more solid one.

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.

Can see why he played every round at Wigan last year. Solid performer and useful to have when running the ball back from your own 20.

and it was all going so well!

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.

Its true, we got the solid dependable one whereas you got the one who is slightly more of an enigma and could romp length of the field given half a chance

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?

I know they're not an exact science but [url=http://www.superleague.co.uk/statistics_player.php?hs1=2008&hp1=1997&hs2=2008&hp2=266&stat=tries&season=2009these[/url kinda back up what Wigan and Rovers fans have been saying

Because he didn't play for Wigan last year in the same position Colbon did?

I wish we could of kept Colbon he always puts the effort in, Noble just doesnt think he has the ability unfortunatly, I would rather have him than Phelps.

are those stats just when colburn played wing or are they when he played 2nd row and centre as well?

What do you think???

well i dont believe you'd put misleading stats so only when he played winger.

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

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

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

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.

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
