Rich deserves a new deal,he works his socks off everyweek he plays and also never winges he just gets on with the job in hand and will play were ever he is asked to so long as it helps the team out ,what he has been through in the last 2 years to even be still playing the game is a miracle,the injury he suffered in the quins game was horrendous,hes a grafter and a very good player to have in our squad thats why the club feels he deserves a new contract too.

What persistant injury problems are these?
He had an horrendous season last year with a broken arm and a broken leg but apart from that i can't recall any other time when he has been on the sidelines due to "persistant injuries" as you say.

good player but not worth the money being banded around by quins, id let him go if that was the case, and invest the cash in someone else... a prospect maybe?? just as whiting was..

Another load of rubbish.

Get him signed up now, he's never let F.C. down and he's one of the few players that can actually 'read' the game.

Would walk into my 17 for next season. Hate to say it but in the current light richard horne has a lot to prove to us all next season.

Same. It's about time Horne stopped being considered 1st choice no matter what. Otherwise he'll never improve.

Just coming up to his 100th league game for us which will be Bradford game if he plays in both the next 2

Would be disappointed if he left, a very good player to have in the squad. As has been said though, would not make the 17 from a fully-fit squad. I realise it's not a straight choice, but to put it into perspective it's a tight call on who I'd most regret leaving between him and Moa, but in all honesty I think it would be Moa. He'd probably be the one I see as more likely to make us regret it. Whiting would perhaps be more the Lupton-type departure: Pleased to see him doing well and having the occasional very good game, but in the main being a good solid pro who won't let you down.

I've said for a couple of years now that IMO it's down to a straight choice between Whiting and G Horne, we don't have room for both. I hope Whiting doesn't leave as I'd pick him over Horne in just about every position they play, especially if Whiting put on another half stone to a stone.

How can other Clubs offer him a deal until after September dead line or if Hull give them permission for the players to talk to other Clubs ..and last we heard he was in talks with Hull

I also remember FC saying that they allowed OOC players to speak to other clubs to gauge their worth in order for better negotiations to take place. Wonder if thats happened here.
