Think if he had pace it would hinder his game strangely enough

Does anyone else think everytime that whiting gets the ball under pressure like when fielding a kick from the oppo the game seems to slow down and give us the settling moment the team need to regroup? Too many times you see players field a kick or take a loose ball from the oppo and they are hell bent on trying the impossible by having a brain surge or trying to play at 100mph and end up losing possession themselves and putting their team under pressure. Hes a smart player and the team know it.

Whiting hasn't got any pace?

Next people will be saying he won the YPOY once

IMO best rugby brain at the club which makes up for his yard of pace that he has missing, always a safe bet that whiting will make an intercept at somepoint just a shame that you know he will get caught but as someone else has mentioned you would hope a bit of support would help him out.
Quality player and would be disappointed if he wasn't signed up.

Rich Whiting had an awesome game, it was if he had a homing device on the ball, his reading of the game is second to none. Sign him up NOW!

getting better as he gets older.he has a fantastic rugby brain,and his lack of pace is offset by this.people talk about the likes of long and fitz with all their experience,but rich reads the game very well,and very rarely takes any risks,which is a plus in our team with some of our mistakes we have made(salford)but today has been a day to remember,and whiting was fantastic,so long may it continue

if he had a couple of yards more pace would be world class in what ever position he wanted dont see him as a second rower tho. positional play and reading of the game is first class hope they do the decent thing and sign him up soon

The most intelligent player in the team for reading the game. Would be World Class if he had some speed perhaps need to send him to Jamaica for some sprint training or employ Dwain Chambers to give him some legitimate added extra.

Not sure you can coach pace to an RL player but if he lacks that he more than makes up for it in effort and versatility.

cant coach pace but can increase his pace from astanding start. for me if he had pace he woud be international standard. Defence and attack, he is so clever without even trying

East Hull FC was chief contributor if I remember rightly with a couple of others featuring heavily. Must be a coaches dream to have a player you can rely on like you can Rich, could see loads of takers if he came up for grabs anytime soon.

give him a 10 year deal and start playing him at 13

Another thing about Whiting is his ball handling skills. He picks up the ball as clean as anyone I've seen, no matter how difficult the bounce or speed it's kicked. A bit like S Briscoe, but Whiting doesn't put his head in danger.
