Must start on Friday. If he doesn't it will show finally that Agar and Sharpp have no idea whatsoever.

I say this every week, but Whiting really is one of the only players that gives a shiit about this club. Why we have not already signed him up, I dont know, it beggars belief. Technically he's a brilliant player, but it's the little things that I admire him for, i.e. as soon as he came on today, we were awarded a scrum and he instantly ran in and got the ref to stop the clock. If only every player had this kind of commitment, we would not be in this situation. I can't even begin to think how pi$$ed off he must have been when G.Horne came back from injury and walked straight into the team, at his expense. G.Horne is not only not good enough for Hull.FC, but he is not good enough for SL. We all know that the only reason he has still got a contract is because of his brother, if it wasnt for Richard Horne throwing a tantrum last year when it was rumoured that Graeme was on his way out, I doubt he would still be here. It's about time our board grew a backbone and got rid of these mediocre players that are infecting our team.

A lot of us said that last week and what happened?
To be perfectly honest I wouldn't blame the lad if he went elsewhere to further his career.
I've said this before and I'll say it again, Get Richard at Stand Off on Friday, it makes sense!!

Whiting is an example of how a professional sportsman should behave. He has more reason than most of the squad to stop trying. Having been dropped for the terminally average Greame Horne when he'd done nothing to deserve it, then not starting the game today after last week's performance, it would be easy to see why he might feel a tad miffed.

And yet, he keeps giving 100% despite what his own personal feelings might be. A credit to himself, his club and his profession. Certain others should take note.

I'm slightly worried that a contract extension hasn't been announced for him yet. Surely the club wouldn't be stupid enough to let him go, would they?

I'm sure he has been given a year extension hasn't he?

if you was him would you sign it?

It was 'announced' on here, but not by the club as far as I'm aware.

It would be a tough decision TBH. As a club its madness to even be considering not giving him a new contract.

Ah right, I've heard it from several trustworthy sources so just assumed it had been announced.

if it was me and i got some guarrentees from any other club barring celtic and salford i'd leave.

To be honest, I wouldn't blame him. He must wonder what he's got to do to oust Radford, Thorman and the Hornes. They're all playing badly, he's playing well, yet he doesn't get picked and they do.

If I was him I'd be thinking my face didn't fit and I'd be better off elsewhere.

I expect Whiting to sign a one year deal soon.

I would question just who has been at the 'mushrooms' looking at everyone in our club from top to bottom. Just did no one learn anything from their days of junior RL/barla or even from all the time they had the benefot pf Richard Swain playing for the FC.
For God's sake hasn't anyone been taught how to tackle from the legs!!!
Nobodby can run without them; For goodness sale. I'm a Granny, but even I know you do not need all the players that pile on these days which so many of teams seem to coach their squads to use.
I TOP & 1 BOTTOM TO COVER THE BALL AND STOP THE OFFLOAD

OK I was there yesterday, and that ref either didn't know the rules, or else he been under the impression that it was OK for teams to lay on for as long as long as they they wished (afterall we've all watched the same evidence of this when watching the games shown on Sky), As I understood maybe he's a ref Cummins is hoping to add to their squad of refs for Sl, and if so, they his errors all over the park earned him a choice of a supreme ref of SL quality first class>>>>>>NOT. He didn't have the help either of the TJ's or if he did. then it was ignored.

Anyway, Cas played a good game and deserved their win, and Stevo et al would be happy The species did see a tryfest afterall......grannyfan Cindy

Went to the game wanting Hull to win and to watch Whiting, can't believe he started on the bench and didn't have much game time.

When he came on, both the defence and attack seemed to be more structured. He was your best player yesterday by a mile.

A very talented player going to waste.

Please Agar play Whiting at 13. Stop going with this 3 props bull*hit!!

In talks for new deal, also played his way into the starting 13 according to Agar

Knowing Agar he meant the reserves

That Agar thinks that Whiting has only just "played his way in" when you think of the dross that those already "in" have been serving up , is seriously worrying. It makes you really wonder what he sees cos it's very different to what I and most other people see.

Quote ="Uffa1964"Is this new? news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... efault.stm'" The article is new but the headline is misleading. When you read what Whiting says he is hopeful of something being finalised soon, so clearly talks have not just been opened. Agar also says that Whiting leaving was 'never an option' so it looks like it was always intended to offer a new deal.

Did it even come up?

Nope, he was asked about signing Moa on and other deals for next year. Would have been nice for him to bring us some factual info and say that Whitings talks were progressing well etc. Instead we get the usual spin.
