Didn't do anything wrong,safe as houses,but will never make it as a full back,because my Grannies faster and she's dead.

Yes because you need the speed of a winger to play full back. Forget about being relaible, able to tackle. having the nounce where it;s needed and being in general a clever player...it's all about speed at fullback isnt it? Perhaps he should have let the fookin ball bounce more eh?

Yes, you need a modicum of speed,if safe as houses is for you, ok,but for us to be able to compete with Leeds and Saints,safe as houses isn't good enough.

I'm not sure people are suggesting he's a first choice FB on a permanent basis. For me, after the stress of Hall and Tony costing us many tries dues to their inability to catch the ball at FB this season, I'd far rather see Whiting there for now.

You talk like he uses a zimmer mate. FFS you're talking about a player that kept up with Calderwood a few games ago to score an awesome try. After Tony, yes,l safe as houses is very appealing. And if it was lost on you. exceptional returns too. But if youve made your mind up...hey ho....

Agreed, a stop gap measure until Motu gets back to fitness or we sign a top class full back.

Gets back to fitness and do what? What every schoolteacher in the north would have him write a 100 lines for?
I will not let the ball bounce
I will not let the ball bounce
I will not let the ball bounce
I will not let the ball bounce
ETC.....

Forgot wellens was a speedster

Agreed, another great performance from Rich, for the rest of the season why not put him at 6 partenring Berro and have Thorman at full back. We need to give Rich a run as a pivot as I'm sure it will pay off for us.

Last I'll post on this subject for me, because we are going backwards and forwards,but for me Whiting will not playing full back next year because he will get exposed in the position with his pace,now I'm not knocking the kid for effort,but can only see his future being in the back row,time will tell who is right and wrong.

Thorman last line of defence? Yeah I will go for that one.....NOT!!!!

Leave whiting at fullback for me, it was his first attempt and he got better as the game went on.

Remember that MS Paint off season thread - Wellens one was a snail with a red V shirt

im afraid Motu may have played his last game for hull fc.

Those of us who understand the game have been calling for Rich to be given a ball playing 13 role because he has the ability to open up defences as he showed several times today. We lack footballers as our points for column is testament to and he can produce the goods. My biggest gripe with Agar has been his selection policy this year. When we've needed something different he has failed to demonstrate the imagination required. He even dropped Whiting when the less talented Graeme Horne returned from injury.

At the end of the day he is neither a FB or centre but could play a role similar to Crooke with the right structures in the team. He can pass accurately both ways and can stand defenders up in the line. Rich W at 6 or 13 for the rest of the season please we need to try something different.
