You have to consider what is best for the player and I think he has earnt the right to keep playing at a higher level than under 23 reserves of that's what he want, this will allow him to play a good level and potentially earn himself a deal for next year.

I wouldn't rule out him playing first team for Hull again either.

would like to see him taking some steps into coaching at the club, similar to what Hull have done with RH, but he might want to play some rugby whilst he can

The could well be the start of a cull to release enough salary cap to bring Benji in next season.

I think Whiting's value to the club is far greater than any salary he will be drawing as has been proven on numerous occasions over the years. He is still the only player in superleague to play 1 to 13 in a single season! A feat that will probably not be repeated. If he has any coaching aspirations I'd like to think, given his obvious talents and character that the club has plans to retain him in some capacity. If he makes a permanent move away from the club I can't imagine many having anything but praise for him and his service to our club.

Spoilsport!!

Don't know what their financial/cap situation is, but a bit surprised Wakey haven't gone for him, local lad etc and hugely versatile.

French international Pala left us on Monday, so there was room for Richard Fish !

We'll look forward to the hearing strains of 'Whiting is Superman' floating out of the Leigh Sports Village!

This is the problem with having no A team squad players need to play somewhere to keep up match fitness.

I cant help thinking what's the point for 2 months. As others have said, will be very strange to see a different jersey on him.

I hope it is only going to be a loan and not made a permanent move, as others have said his value for his knowledge of the game and how to play it is exemplary both on and off the field.
Having him involved at our club for me is invaluable.
