Whiting had another top performance today in a tough away win at Dewsbury. We are still struggling for centres and Rich has nailed down a spot in that position since he joined.

Leigh fans are keen for us to try and either extend his loan deal or sign him up permanently. Ultimate professional and just looks so comfortable in everything he does. Been a great asset for us since joining.

Scored his 1st try for the club today too. A 90 yard team effort direct from receiving a kick off, Whiting finished it off from about 40 yards out.

Superman!!! He just reads the game brilliantly, was always a favourite of mine. Lost a bit of speed but can still be a game changer!

No offence but really hope you don't and we keep him at Hull FC for his ability and worth both on and off the pitch for years to come.

No surprise that he's doing so well. As I've said before, I really hope Hull retain his services in some capacity when his playing days are over. I imagine his worth to the club to be greater than whatever salary he's on. You can't buy what he has. My favoutite player in the last decade. I'd still have him on our bench!

Would like to see Stilts get a proper send off, he deserves it. He's been a fantastic servant.

Just out of interest, does anyone remember what year he played in every position (1-13) in a single season? I'm sure he's still the only player in the Superleague era to do it but can't remember when.

ask wilf.

I really don't think he has played in all positions in one season, not sure where you heard that, he has however played in every position over his career.
IIRC he tweeted a few seasons back about having now played in every position, that wasn't referencing a single season.

Yeh I agree not in one season well he hasn't started in every position in one season anyway. For instance, I stand to be corrected but I can't remember him ever being selected as a starting prop. However he has certainly slotted in there during a game or off the bench when needed. He said in his speech at his Benefit Dinner that he had played in every position for Hull FC but referred to his utility benefits both in the starting line up and when called upon to stand into unfamiliar roles during games. He has certainly played everywhere at one time or another though!

I can't remember when but I have it firmly stuck in my mind that during one season he covered 1-13 albeit off the bench or switching during a game. I'm sure it was mentioned somewhere in the media because I had no idea until I heard it. It just stuck in my mind as a real achievement in any sport. Maybe someone with a better memory or investigative skills might be able to find out. Even if I'm mistaken, Whiting is Superman!

Anyone know the details of the loan, I.e. will he play in the cup next week? Would be good to have him as an option should we get a lower league team in the next round resting some of our current first team.

He couldn't play for us (Leigh) in the last round of the Cup against Workington. So I doubt he will be playing against Tolouse.

Do you really want Brierley??? (

Club Website wrotePlaying in every position for the Black and Whites during his time with the club, Whiting has earned a reputation as one of the most versatile and dependable players in Super League.

With a wry smile, he added, “Hooker is the only position I’ve not played this season and I’ve been in Pete’s ear for the past couple of weeks to get him to stick me in there for five minutes!'"
