his dad didnt tho, fathers day is an issue in his house

for me i like whiting at 3. his defensive assets are great, and he can also help winger out for high kicks.

he has a good rugby brain and becoming a legend in my opinion.

Reminds me of Simon Grix at Warrington does a great job and never lets the team down

Played nearly 200 games for us and still only 27. Could easily reach 300+ Also has a good scoring rate with 60 tries. Profile says 2 drop goals but I can't remember any

I think he got them during his first season with us, he played in quite a pivotal role that season when he played for us IIRC. Seem to remember him getting a drop goal against Bradford at home when they were a force, not sure on the other though.

Both in 2004. One against Bradford as mentioned above and one in the Challenge Cup away game at Leigh.

I've been a big fan of Rich since he first arrived at the club. A friend on twitter commented that he was the most complete footballer to grace the black n white since Knocker, and I have to agree.
Saying he is too slow is like saying Angelina Jolie could do with being a bit better looking !

so you think he's fast, fair enough, if you also think Jolie is stunning then I suggest you got to Specsavers.

FC squad 2013, Rich Whiting...........and a few others !!! First on teamsheet for me and has been last number of years !!!

in which position?

Unfortunately for Richard, almost anywhere, any team would love to have him, but he's ours !!

It was interesting reading Paul Cooke's opinions on him in tonights paper. He had him as MOM and rates him very highly.

She would be if she had her lips reduced.

For me , Whiting sees the game 2 plays ahead of most players , what he lacks physically , his brain more than makes up for .

Ok, he's not Speedy Gonzales, but he's not slow either is he? People go on too much about his speed if you ask me.
Speaking as a woman, I just used Jolie to illustrate a point, she's not to my taste, but a lot of people think she's a stunner!

so he is slow, glad we've agreed that, if he was quicker he would be an even better player than he is.

no - you've agreed that with yourself.

He is not slow: he is not the quickest, but he is not slow.

He makes up for his pace by being able to read the game a thing not alot of players can do

Exactly. He has one of the sharpest rugby league brains in the competition.

If only he were quicker then

He's fast enough

No one's ever fast enough

Not quite true. If he moved at the speed of light he'd not be much use to us.

For you perhaps. He's certainly fast enough for the rest of us.

Something happens everytime he plays. The team isn't complete without Whiting somewhere on that pitch.

Mr Hull FC.
