but with the injurys were prone to he does a good job filling in a number of positions and still not the oldest

Well put.

I do rate him and am struggling to think of anyone who has done much in the last two seasons.

Indeed. However he would have got nowhere near 100 games if we didnt suffer the injuries that we have had. (and i dont dislike Whiting, he just doesnt fit)

I really do rate Whiting. He just doesnt fit in our first choice 17. Thats the reason why i didnt think he would sign a contract extension. I thought for his own benefit he may look to move on. I'm pleased that he didnt.

On the flip side Whiting would have played a lot more games than he has if it hadnt been for his own injuries. Good player.

bit harsh on him, could hardly hep his injuries in 08 and the 2 games he did play he was one of our best players in each.

and go with a bare squad of less gthan 20 players ?

Fair point.

We'd be mugs to get rid.....

Swap for Radford. Whiting reads the game better than most and Radford is well past retirement. He should have been paid off this season.

Also, his injuries meant we had to put G Horne in. He was meant to go to Donny before the injury crisis hit our forwards, remember.

Rich Whiting is Mr reliable; plays in any position to a very good standard, he's English, isn't disruptive, he's only 24 and above all his heart's in the club.
He's not a 'superstar' but he's worth his weight in gold over the season.
