It is just that pace that holds him back from being an international IMO. I worried for Hull yesterday when I saw him going to fullback tbh but he certainly did a grand job. I thought he may get caught out for pace but he seems to just use his know how and experience to get him in the right positions. If he'd had a little bit more pace in attack a couple of times he'd have been away. You managed to open up some big holes down Wires left hand side at times.

My second favourite ever try after Cookies in the Cup Final, it was in Agar's last year so 2 years ago.

Tom Briscoe also scored an awesome try that day, started with a Phelps kick return and we went the length after about 8 or 9 passes.

Always good to have one, and I haven't always rated Whiting admittedly, but the more you watch him the more you realise what a tremendous job he does for Hull wherever they play him.

For Leeds Zak Hardaker is invaluable as he can play any position from 1-7. As has been mentioned, Ablett has decent utility value too.

Whiting is really the only name that comes to my mind when you see a thread title like this. He is [ithe[/i utility man. Many players can muddle through and fill the gaps but there's only Whiting with whom I'd be wholly confident. I've nothing but respect for him as a player.

Me too, he's played every position for us, and apart from hooker he's probably started games in all of them too, and played well too.

I might be wrong, but didn't Ben Cocayne play every position for Rovers whilst he was there as well?

Hull will get another Utility man next year, Jordan Thompson, Full Back, Winger in the juniors, second row, centre probably a stint at 13 too in the first team. A poor mans Rich Whiting though, Whiting has a touch of class in attack and D, JT doesn't have that though, in my opinion.
