| Quote G1="G1"I agree with most of your post Gotcha but Calderwood was afforded the opportunity, at the price we deemed him to be worth. His valuation of his worth was higher, as was Wigans. During his Wigan years we won three championships and he and they won none. We were succesful without him. We likely would have been succesful with him but, so what?'"
I accept your point, history proves that.
Calderwood made his own mistake. I honestly believe that he would have been the best winger this club ever had, had he stayed. But he didn't and both lost out on that because of it. Although as you said the club didn't lose anything as far as trophy's are concerned.

| Quote BrisbaneRhino="BrisbaneRhino"Donald may well have been 'average' in the NRL (although his strike rate compares favourably with many 'better' NRL wingers), but no 'average' winger would have scored his 2007 GF try. I doubt Calderwood would have either. Those kind of moments are what watching sport's all about.'"
One of my favourit trys ever!

| The main stylistic difference between Donald and Calderwood: professionalism.

| I think G's preferences lie elsewhere, possibly 6' 4" 18 stone.
Old school, treat 'em mean, keep 'em keen.

Perhaps you'd have had a better chance if you had been sat in the Ken Arthurson stand at the Brookvale Oval watching a Manly reserve grade game.

I wonder how he feels about the hair cut?! The flowing locks of curly dark hair might've been more up his street.

Well I have seen him in his tights and I did tease him, though I didn't pull his hair.
As for Donald, picking up on something BB said, I've been told by a high ranking official that he was one of the most professional, hard working and dedicated players at the club. That, excellent displays on game day, and memorable contributions to championships are not enough to endear him to some of our fan base it seems. Says more about them than he IMO.

| I was once told by the Leeds CEO of the day that Trevor Clark was a fine individually, you couldn't wish for more, he was a model professional.
I offered an opinion on his qualities (as I saw them) on the rugby field. The following year he was at Bradford.
Not that I'm claiming in any way whatsoever that the two things are connected (I'm sure they are not), just recalling a moment from the past.

| Players discarded by Leeds and picked up by Northern during the 1980s might not be the best example you could have given TVOC.
