some cocks on there,im getting sick of it tbh.

He works as a solicitor in the North West. Gets involved in some sports and RL related work, I believe.

Pre-season ? There was someone on here saying as much the other week about next year

Hope he stays with us for a very long time. Would be seriously gutted if he ever went elsewhere. Great bloke and a true professional.

I also noticed in the thread about next year's 17 he was left out in several posters' selections, despite the fact that he's consistently shown himself to be a much better player than Westerman.

Bit harsh on Jed & Brooksy that Wolfster!

His all round Rugby brain make up for his lack of pace and he isn't a local lad

True, but I think most of us would forgive him for that.The guy is a grafter. .

i'll put me neck on the line, but if he was quicker i'd put him alongside tomkins as been one of the best in the league.

he just has a great rugby brain it's unreal

Wouldn't be at all surprised to see him go on and have a great coaching career when he hangs up his boots. Very smart player

Would get in ever SL teams 17, great player in attack and defence.

He's Mr Hull FC these days, been a fantastic servant to the club.

A man who is loves to wear the fc shirt as much as me a legend as far as i am concerned

He should have been allowed to make to move to the back row years ago.

Yeah, I remember calling for it on here and being shot down by several posters saying stuff like 'Washbrook is better', 'He doesn't have the physique for it', and 'No FC coach has ever seen fit to play him there in X years'.

Very solid, and very consistent. Never going to be a Paul Sculthorpe but decent enough.
Like Westerman, his best performances are wider.

Haven't successive coaches tried to get him to do it and he said no?

I think he is a bit quicker...

I highly doubt Sir Rich has ever said no to playing any position asked of him.

I seem to recall a coach trying to get him to bulk up for second row, may well be wrong.

Spot on Robbo; you obviously havn't met him he wouldn't say no to washing the shirts, he signed in about 4 days flat and just wants to play for Hull FC till he retires!

There was nothing wrong with his pace when he skinned Dobson for Briscoes try at the end



To be honest although he doesnt possess lighting speed I dont think he is too much of a slouch either.

I think Rich Whiting should & will go down as one of the best servants in the Clubs history, a gentlemen and model professional.

don't know it that is an appropriate emoticon - I just wanted to use one I hadn't used before.

I think that was Peter Sharp and he broke his leg (or arm) quite early in the season. Agar saw him as a centre though, he hardly ever picked him in the pack.
