Agree with that however i dont see him slower than lets say Sculthorpe or Farrel were??

| I really wouldn't be bothered if Tickle did leave as I would just slot Whiting straight into the 12 shirt. Not quick enough for a centre or half back, all the ingredients though to be a top backrower for me.
I know often the term "legend" is often wrongly used but Whiting for me is slowly becoming one. I still think we have a lot of rugby to be seen for us too from him.

| Richard Whiting doesn't get the credit he deserves because of his 'utility' tag. He has been one of our best players for the past few seasons now. So very consistent.

not my opinion, sculthorpe was no sprinter by a long way and farrels lack of pace caught him out often enough , hes fast enough for what he does.....
he nearly caught calderwood at cardiff ...
hes fast enough for what he does

Agreed. Andy Farrell was never ever quick. I'll never understand why fans get hung up on Whiting's lack of pace.

Personally I like Whiting at 13. He can put in all the work that is required of the role and has the brain to distribute the ball well.
If Tickle left I would play Westerman at 12 and Whiting at 13.

I just think his game would be better suited to the fringes after virtually working out wide his whole career.
