Indeed.

He would be first choice 13 but for Fitzgibbon.

Some people don't let the truth influence their opinions. Washy is a very good 13, but just not as good as Fitz. So is his rightfully his understudy. He'll be our 13 when Fitzy goes and for many years after. I've always said that Fitz is Washy's "finishing school".

East Hull - I've watched DW's career with a level of besument tbh. I can even vividly remeber certain individual games when I wanted to haul him off. Widnes away in the cup 2 years ago, playing in the halves, absolutle garbage, couldn't even show something different against a chamopionship club. I don't see and never have seen what all the fuss is about. People on here have been touting him as a potential GB player. He isn't that young anymore relatively speaking in todays game and if he was as good as folk reckon, he would be in our 17 now.

Even if Fitzgibbon hadn't of come to Hull , I still think Washbrook would find his chances limited due to Agar's preference of playing Radford in that position.

I've never touted him as a future England player, but think that at 13 he is a very good player. He's not a half back by any stretch of the imagination. As a 13 he has played in teams that have finished 2nd and 4th and reached a Grand Final no less. It's been that long since he's had an extended run at 13 and a lot of people have forgotten how good he was.

WAS past tense!! never kicked on or upward, hey but dont let facts stand in your way huh

sorry your correct ,everything you say is true , everyone else on here talks tosh!!

I rate Danny incredibly highly as ive said on here before and i think he still has a huge future with us. He's suffering at the minute though imo because of the time he has spent out injured over the last couple of years. He seems to have lost his speed and his step that made him so good with ball in hand previously. Maybe we need to look to turn him into a Cunningham type 9?

Never had the chance to kick on due to injury as well as playing in a poor side and out of position. But hey don't let facts get in the way





Like i said earlier if Fitzgibbon wasn't here he'd be first choice 13.

As GG has said, how can you criticise Washy for not kicking on when he's been played out of position in a poor side and unfortunately injured for long spells. These are real facts, what are yours?

Agreed. Washy is really unfortunate that Fitz is such a good payer, that said if he learns from him it could make him a better player. I rate Washy highly, always have.

Not at all, just you at the minute.

We could do with a loan swap deal. Send washy to a club in exchage for an up and coming young (17+) SH who isnt getting a game. We could then give this SH a bench spot for some games and see how he does and in the event of an injury he would be given a chance. The other team get a ready made LF or ball playing second row. At the end of the year we could judge whether this SH was going to be good enough to keep and make some deal arrangement if poss or swap players back.

I've noticed that, which is why I don't rate him as highly as some do. That said you can't argue with the fact that he's been hampered by injury and circumstance. Jury's out for me, but I hope he gets a chance to prove whether he has what it takes or not in his favoured position.

thats funny as I appear to be the second person on this very thread you acused of talking tosh simply because they didnt agree with you idjit
suppose this is tosh too

whiting seemed to do ok in similar senarios, worse injuries, poor side blah blah or is that tosh too or are you just wearing your "i want washys babies " t shirt again

Whiting is a "utility player" Washbrook isn't, HTH.

SORRY

I am sure he is being touted in the halves, second row, loose man or in fact anywhere you can get him on the pitch, which he wont be hur hum???
utter tosh

Not by me pal. He's a 13 that can "fill in". Whiting is a true utility player, so comparisons are not fair.

washy is in my opinion a true utility plodder that will fill in as and when needed pal.
Also as a 13 he was at best average with a show and go that decieved no one, he had a few decent games but many more very average ones and he is a long long way down the pecking order I am afraid as his limited appearances will show this year and i would surmise he will travel to pastures new at the end of his contract if what i am hearing is correct !

I agree east hull ! Don't forget that this is the guy who wants Manu at SO and Lauaki sat in the stands twiddling his thumbs!!



Enough said !!!

I would be interested to know where you have got this info from.

OH DEAR THE IMS ARE FLYING

its a simple method of team selection thus far
way down the pecking order chum!! like you
