No one rates him, how can he be over rated?

He seems to get into the England set up, year on year, so somebody sure does.

He's actually a very good player, but niggly but does a lot of hard work and makes big plays when they are needed.

Who actually rates Yeaman? I for one don't. One good season in the last 5.

He'll be struggling for selection next year, unless he goes to second-row.

Whoever said Whiting clearly knows nothing about the game. He's dependable and solid. Reads the game better than most and has covered every position on the field apart from hooker. If he was an ever present for England, you'd argue he was overrated but he goes about his business quietly, without fuss and is a mainstay of our team.

Most overrated for me is Rob Burrow. No-one dare tackle him because he constantly ducks his head, making him 2 foot 6 tall.

Actually I remember reading a quote perhaps last year and it said Whiting has played every position during his time at Hull.

Well, 34 years non-stop I've been watching RL. I've obviously had my eyes shut for all that time.

You've just summed-up Whiting in one perfect soundbite. He's dependable and solid. That's it. I agree with you. If you listen to some Hull fans, and a couple of of Sky commentators, he makes Ellery Hanley look like pooh.

Please be aware, the thread says overated. I think he is. He's far from crap, but he's nowhere near the plaudits he gets
