Has he fully recovered from his injury yet? when can we expect to see him back in a Hull FC shirt?

no
not yet

Thanks
Thanks
Big help

says who?

he needs to get back to playing asap to earn a new contract. but i dont know where he'd get into the side atm.

possible new full back maybe ?

wouldn't have thought so.

But he could be the pivot!!

i can honestly seeing him battling it out with lee, burnett, hodgson and maybe horne for 2/3 contracts.

He will fit into the first spot that becomes vacant after someone gets injured, RA knows his worth and rates him highly, he will feature this season and play his part I am sure of that as i am sure we will pick up injuries

i doubt that tbh. washy will come into the back row, tony full back, raynor to the wing which will put hall and briscoe in contention for the centres (and in front of whiting, imo) he could come in at half back if the worst happened.

THE BEST THING ABOUT RW IS HE CAN PLAY SO MANY POSITIONS , HE WILL SHOW TRUST ME I CAN FEEL IT!!
IF HE WASNT PART OF THE PLANS HE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GIVEN A CONTRACT I GUESS

i've no doubt his talent but because of the lenghs of his injuries he has fell in the pecking order.

centre - yeaman, horne, hall, briscoe
half back - horne, thorman
back row - radford, manu, tickle, washbrook and with early seaon form burnett

are all in front of him. add lee and hodgson to the squad and it will be hard work for rich, one i'm sure his awear and is capable of.

I always think we look a much better team with Whiting in the side.
He's just been unlucky with injuries, so people have forgot what he's capable of.
Always saw him turning into a classy Loose forward - good passing game,good runner, but also tackles well above his weight.

Shame about his pace, otherwise he'd be a great centre.

i don't agree with that
loose forward richard whiting thankyou very much and goodnight

in front of washy? the lad with 3 years left to run and whiting has one?
look at the way we play now with radford at 13, washy's bulked up to play a more central role like what radfords doing now.

we dont play with that type of 13 anymore.

We don't play that type of 13 because Whiting was injured most of last season. Well imo
Whitings not exactly a wimpling! great in defence, runs brilliant angles, and its class with ball in hand and on the boot.
washys got a good step, he shined last year, but for me he has to do a bit more to win my vote of whiting

how many times has he played 13 for us?

k true good pointicon_razz.gif
Back to the actuall point, whiting wayyyyyyyyyyyyy better than washyicon_smile.gif

but washy has the 3 year deal and with the salary cap and 25 man squad can we afford to have a back row heavy squad?

Do you actually have whiplash?

Says the fact he has not made a 19 man squad yet ?

Like a few other players make or break Year for Rich, we all know that he has great potential, but he has to get over his injuries and show this potential.

It's not going to be an earth shattering contract though is it?

Personally I hope whiting becomes the regular Looseman as I think he has the better rugby brain and is more of a natural talent. I think Washbrook is a more limited and predictable player in comparison.
