His lack of pace is more than compensated by his brilliant rugby brain and safe pair of hands. I hope he stays on Gleesons wing, Rich has never had the chance to settle in a position and it would be great for him to nail down this berth.

great game from whiting and the gameplan was spot on to pepper that side with bombs but with long out 4 6 weeks would that plan be as effective??

I dont think we have anyone who can put those kicks in to the corner as good as longy does.

I'm a big fan of Rich and was glad to see him do such a great job on the wing yesterday. I know people always point out his lack of pace, but to my mind his speed of thought more than makes up for it!

do we think this partnership will be as effective without long peppering that side with bombs?

I dont think we have anyone else who can put kicks into that space like longy does...longs best game for us by a mile....whiting was decent and i wouldnt change it,but like i say without those bombs i dont think it would be as effective...ps gleeson was quality and made the right side a big threat!

I can see Whiting playing wing for some time now , We will throw it left in the oppositions 30 and then bomb the right with Gleeson & Whiting hight now.
