Seems longer than that as well to me.
I will always remember his tries v Bradford in the playoffs in that epic game. Barrett took the game by the scruff of the neck (changing Noble's tactics IMO) and Calderwood got more ball in one game than he did all season. I think he must have thought he was playing RU half the time.
Crashed into the advertising and put himself out of the next round.
That was at the Hull game when he crashed into the hoarding & broke his leg
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan
There was a great try that Calderwood and Ashton put on between the two of them at Headingley. I can't actually remember which one scored it but they passed it around two or three times between each other and went almost the full length. It was the RL version of the Cole & Yorke goal at Barcelona in '99

You are right it was the game after the Bradford epic.
Can you not quote a post instead of using my/or any one else's name to draw attention to your reply to the post :exc:
Ashton was given a bad time by Millward when he was coach. He was given the number one shirt & the position as fullback only for Brian Noble to bring in Withers who proceeded to play fullback while Ashton dropped down in the pecking order!
As far as I'm concerned he would have been with us for a few seasons if that hadn't occurred :exc:

You have your opinion, but as far as I am concerned he use our club to get into Union.
Suit yourself, but if you don't know the truth don't comment that it is wrong.
It's just YOUR opinion, & there is no truth in that at all :exc:
