Maybe it's good old fashioned loyalty.

Excellent news!

Fantastic news. Glad it has finally been sorted.

Phew, was getting a bit worried there Rich. Let's hope next year is a fruitful season for all.

Bit of common sense at last! About time Hull.... Now the (not so) small matter of Sam....

Brilliant news Rich, I would personally have in my 17 every week without a blink on an eye. One of, if not THE best rugby brains at the club. This makes up for his so-called 'lack of pace'.

Given that it seemed a straight choice between Whiting and G.Horne the club have made the right call with signing Whiting.

That said i await the news of a new 1 year deal for G.Horne tomorrow

You are joking right???

I agree. As things stand and if rumours are true then the recruitment and culling has all been pretty much spot IMO.

hes joking mate

Is G. Horne deffinately on his way out then Wolfie?

Bloody well hope so.

So do I

The jigsaw should be completed after the 1st of sept,few players contracts to be sorted on whos going,big sam could well get a new contract depends if a better option comes up, and turner should be announced,and that will be your lot folks,im well happy with the signings and departures.

Roll on 2010 nearly time to renew my pass

Good news, very useful squad player.

Me and you both. FFS we have a half back for a start.

I'll believe that when I see it TBH, wouldn't bet against him staying for another year at present.

I would !!

Signing Rich is [ianother[/i Piece in next seasons jigsaw.
All these people calling him 'average' must be watching a different game/player to me. He may not be the superstar that (some) fans want to see but, for me he's a necessity, where would we have been without him over the last few seasons?
The number of positions he’s been asked to play (and played well) should tell you his value to the club: - Fullback, centre, loose forward, stand off and even wing on the odd occasion.
He’s above ‘average’ in respects of his; tackling, enthusiasm, professionalism, work ethic and he’s an intelligent player whatever the position who can read the game better than your “average” player.
The other bonuses are; he doesn’t bring unwanted headlines or rumours to the club, he’s obviously well liked by the players and (most) fans.

I'm really pleased at re-signing Rich. Fantastic player and wears the irregular hoops with pride and passion. Even if he doesn't find a regular position in the starting 13, he's the sort of player who puts a lot of pressure on so many other players to perform. knowing full well that Whiting can do more than an adequate job in their place, the likes of Tansey, Yeamo, Hall, Horne and the back row forwards will all be having to play for their places. Great player to have on the bench but at the same time it does seem a bit of a waste not to have him starting.

Why isnt he.....doesnt he go down the pub and get legless all the time like some of the others.......Whiting is a superb player,great rugby brain makes up for his pace...he reads the game well and joins the line to great effect...he is a ultimate pro and i would sooner have 13 Rich Whitings than 13 pi$$ heads.

Post of the week

Fair enough, you are entitled to your opinion. Personally I see a 24 year old getting one year at a club that failed to make the playoff's two years in a row as a bit of an indication that he is just plum average.
