Quote: oldfaithful93 "Whiting for me is a must for me in the 17 play him off the bench and he can play almost any position asked of him and will always give it a 100% which is more that can be said for some of the players out on the pitch.'"
Normally I'd agree with you and I don't think he'll miss out tonight but when we have our strongest team fit then Whiting may find himself looking over his shoulder and even missing out on the 17. Tuson and Ellis will start in the second row, there'll be two starting props and two more on the bench, Houghton will start at hooker with Heremeia taking a third bench spot leaving the fourth spot on the bench for one of Thompson or Whiting. Based on form, Thompson deserves the spot and he also offers utility value like Whiting.
Of course this is Hull FC. Someone will always be injured/banned so this won't be an issue
