Quote: super_fc "Agreed.

If you ask me, he's one of the best players in our squad. Solid defence, great with ball in hand, reads the game very well, knows where the tryline is, good in the air, the only criticism of his game is his speed, but even thats not as bad as some make out. Not to mention the fact that he gives his all every week, unlike most players. If G.Horne is offered a new contract and Whiting isnt, then it's a disgrace.'"


Well said if he's not offered a new contract it again speaks volumes about which direction our club is going. He would be top of mine, and most of our lists for players that must be retained.
We cannot keep carrying Thorman though its beyond a joke

Quote: knocker norton "Whiting signed for Hull as a stand off with a very good pair of hands, kicking game and rugby brain in general. Hull turned him into a centre and he played there through a very successful period for the club.

I liken Kyle Briggs at featherstone to Rich in that he is a tall talented ball handling half back who could go far in the game.

unfortunately as super league has developed I do not think that Whiting is now the centre that we need. can he play loose forward? Maybe given the chance but behind Washy for mine. Can he go back to been a stand off?'"


He'll always be a great squad player sadly. Victim of his own utility and not a great deal he can do to change that now.

Quote: denbo63 "If he came to the club as a half. Why not give him a chance there now? Can't be worse than what we've got?'"


Since the moment Cooke left I always said play whiting at 6.

What amazes me is that everyone admits that this guy is commited every game he plays has good hands and a good rugby brain yet we should let him go.

Is this not what we are missing, the fact he is not been given the chance to show his full potential is down to the coaches not the player.

Are those advocating letting him go the same ones who backed tony over briscoe, great call their.

We need players like him who create problems for defences same as houghton, burnett, maloney, briscoe.

not the Radfords, King, Lee, Cusacks,

All should be shown the door for lack of ability.

Quote: CHUCKY "Thorman is very poor but still don't agree with our "fans" sarcastically cheering when he was taken off.His confidence is shot what chance has he got when his own fans get on his back.He wears the shirt so we should get behind them all.'"


Can't tell that to the blinkered morons, sounds too much like sense. For the record I agree Thorman hasn't been a good acquisition. But on Friday I saw Richard Horne get fended off a couple times didn't hear a peep from the crowd, soon as Thorman misses a tackle que the abuse. Think there was a grubber from Berrigan on the 6th tackle in the 2nd half and Thorman knocked on trying to make a difficult pick up, then you hear "you're f***ing s**t".
And as for the ironic cheers don't agree with it at all and tbh all you fair weather muppets should stay away and come back when the team are winning 50-0 every week.Don't get me wrong watching Hull at the moment is like pulling teeth. But it isn't because of one man playing poorly.

Point I was trying to make was we should only retain one of Whiting or Horne as utility players.

Do agree Whiting looked like he was the real deal, do we blame our coaching staff or him for not 'training on'. He has had two years ruined by injuries.

If he wasn't injured Friday & didn't make the 17 I suggest that shows the current coaching set up have made their minds up.

FWIW I reckon Kear or McRae would snap him up rather quicker than our other non passing utility player !

Would love to see Rich given a run at 6 or 13 but can't see it now.
