You mean the ptential that got him young player of the year........he has had 1 bad season with injuries and here we are writing him off......R. Horne had the same amount of injuries last season and we arent saying get rid of him i we.

That was four years ago.

He needs to find a position.

Loose forward for me..........he is a better squad player than Lee and G.Horne IMO.

That statement would be evidenced by 1 good season in the centres about 3 or 4 years ago too. Difficult to give any kind of verdict about Whiting currently and where he fits imo as he hasnt really played for a couple of years other than the odd games.

Not really as when he has played we have looked a better team with him in it.I agree he has to play a lot but he offers so much when he does play and is woth keeping.

I agree, but without playing he will struggle to get hold of a starting position. Washy is still ahead of him on the pecking order, Burnett is playing well, Lauaki is coming in maybe to play a bit in the back row too. Whiting is going to get a chance this season when fit at some point and he really needs to grasp it.

Personally i prefer Washy at 13 for what he brings but really value Whiting too, just not sure where he fits.

I would love to see Whiting at 13.....think he would be a lot better than Washy...thats no slight on Washy but think Whiting would have a better all round game.

Not in a million years

Creatively Whiting would be the better 13. Defensively Washy gets through so much work which seems to be the choice of most SL clubs currently. In Attack Washy brings a running game too which Whiting doesnt have which is why i think Washy edges it. (although i agree we could do with some more creative players out there too)

Tough choice.

I don't think washy's running game brings alot to the team. I'd say we have runners in richard horne and um thorman, we need recievers who run good angles, like whiting! Imo........ i think whiting runs brilliant angles, its just a shame he's not fast enough to finish off the breaks!

do you actually have Yeamo????

He was joint top of our tackle busts last season, 2nd in clean breaks and joint 2nd on our offload charts. Not sure why you dont think Washys running game brings much to our team.

mehhhhhhhh, i think each team knows his little inside step now, i don't think he would create such an impact this year
Okay maybe i am a little biased, but i think whiting deserves a run at loose forward!

Why are you a little biased??? ARE YOU RICHARD WHITING???!!!???!!!

That may be true but if rich had been fit washy wouldn't have been in the team as much to get those stats. Whiting is a far better player and offers far more to the team. All my opinion of course.

what for? talking as a much drivel as you?

You'll be wanting Manu at Loose Forward next

We'll see this season, if every candidate stays fit, who gets the loose man position!
