I'd say solid rather than steady. A must keep player

agreed Whiting always always gives 100%

Rich got us out of a hole more than once today.

He loves the club and always puts the effort in. We have to reward that with a three year deal.

Got to sign him up, there's no two ways about it.

Or he quite simply played to the Laws of the Game?

He had to bring play back to the incident, in order to place it on-report

Have seen incidents put on report after the event and after play has progressed on many occasions.

Then where is our advantage?

Out of curiosity, if Whiting would have scored, could he have put him on report judging by the replay?

Hes been one of our best players, always been under rated imo. Can play in 5 or 6 different positons to a very good standard the only thing thats lets him down is his lack of pace which proved today when he incepted in 2nd half

I've said this once and I'll say it again. In Richard Whiting we have a diamond. Get the lad signed up!

Don`t be pedantic,

solid,steady,...he is still an asset.

double post

Whiting was outstanding today , there'll be no shortage of takers if we dont get him signed up on a longer deal. The kid had backed himself with a one year deal, deserves a 3yr contract imo and not just on this game. His game as a whole is solid and at times teams need a steady influence on the side.

My m.o.m today

There isn't an advantage to be gained from a penalisable offence, it's either a penalty or play-on




No

Mine too. Came up with some really, really important defensive plays that probably saved us the game. A quality all round footballer whose services need securing ASAP.

Only little, tiny little niggle, that I have had with him. He does seem to be laying on in the tackle a lot longer then usual. Needs to stop that, gave away at least 2 for it as I recall.

There is no advantage gained? Ridiculous.

Would have thought something can be put on report in the lead up to a try but I bow to your greater knowledge of the rules. Was screaming at Silverwood for taking us back to our 20 but in the end dont think it mattered, got to go as my red n white neighbours have just arrived home, fun times ahead me thinks

I don't think they have to be put on report during the game - they can be cited afterwards by RFL?

It seems stupid, I know, especially as if Tansey had been fouled in the act of kicking, the pen would've been given where the ball landed, I'm also still not completely sure whether Silverwood blew his whistle before Whiting got tackled though

MoM for me today, reads the game better than any other in Super League, if he had pace he'd be an international, get him signed up, 3 year deal.

IMHO he probably has one of the best rugby brains in our squad, and although he has a lack of pace, his ability to read the opposition gives him a head start anyway, and I think he's vital to keep considering the amount of positions he covers, and covers brilliantly.

Have always rated Rich, his reading of the game is second to none.

Must agree with a few other posters on here, he was my MOM as his defensive display saved us from conceding tries on more than one occasion.

Whiting does have a great footballing brain, I also think his talents are wasted unless he is playing 6 or 13.

He may not be the fastest player on the park but neither was John Newlove when we signed him. John had lost what pace he had, long before we signed him. What Bunting did though was get others, who had pace, playing off Newlove and it paid dividends.

I'm just concerned that Agar would never consider Whiting for a pivot role, for fear of upsetting a "star"

Good post. Very few of our players would have gone the length of the field today in that situation. He would be world class with that extra yard. Agar missed a trick last year when not giving him a role at 6 or 13 when the season had ended for us. It would have been a great chance to see what he could offer in those positions.

For me, Richard was his usual honest dependable self. I see him as Fitz replacement (he is still only early 20's) and will give us that extra pivot and ideas in games. He has that air of unpredictability about him abd that has got to be worth a new deal.
