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.

Oh I hope you're right. It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of Rich Whiting and I do despair in those that fail to see his value. At a time when we are almost devoid of 'clever' players, we'd be absolutely crackers to let him go elsewhere.

Any more on this? Don't let me down Mr Rule and co.

The longer it goes on without any news the more I feel Rich Whiting will no longer be a Hull FC player next season, which will be a great shame and most likely a decision that will come back and bite us.

Hope Whiting and the Club can agree and sign a new deal as he is very much worth a place in the squad for me.

A good squad player that gives is all and can’t be taking up to much of the salary cap, not the best start to Agars ‘clearout’. I’ve got a nasty feeling that certain, shall we say obvious candidates will avoid the chop at the expense of less obvious candidates.

Must admit to feeling some players who should get the chop won't and ones that don't deserve it will. Hope I'm wrong but just don't have any faith in Agar and he has done little to change this.

Todays HDM stated Whitings contract is ready and waiting to be signed but the two parties cannot agree on one detail in the contract. At a guess i'd take that to be money

or the length of the contract would be the more realistic issue

More like something to do with outstanding bonus's perhaps??

Most be outstanding from a while back then, they've done nackall for two years!

i think its the 'keeping injury free' bonus that he is having issues with
