and that's exactly what i'm saying. I did say i think he'll move on rather than saying he'd be let go.

I like Rich Whiting and believe that he should be our first choice 13 by now. We've messed him about frankly and I agree entirely that he owes it to himself to find a club that will allow him to test himself in his proper position before it's too late. I'd love him to get the chance here but I can't see it happening so I'd be delighted if he found another club and really interested to see how he went.

In my opinion Whiting has been in the wrong places at the wrong times. I would have loved to have seen him have the chance to establich himself in a particular position, such as the centre berth this year, but I'm afraid I can't see it happening now. There is some real class in the team now in his preferred positions (e.g. centre, second row, loose man) and some experience as well as real raw talent in the ones where he can stand in (e.g. full-back, winger). So he will now, as far as I can see, remain a bit-part player. The one circumstance where I can see this changing is (apart from injury) if Agar decides to play him at full-back and move Phelps to Gleeson's wing. I think this unlikely and he might have to leave to fulfil his potential at another club - a sad day if he leaves us but a good day for a club like Widnes who will need bodies.

He's way too good to be playing for the promoted team. Hopefully, if he goes, he'll get picked up by Leeds (someone mentioned a rumour earlier), or someone like Huddersfield.

Either of those would be an excellent move for him.
Does it tell you how good our squad is when we might not be able to find a place for a player that Leeds might be interested in? Or is Whiting better than any other first-pick individual in the team and Agar has got it wrong?

Yet another player signs and states that agar was a main factor in him signing. Fitzy, Omeley, Long and Gleeson, 4 world class internationals saying how much agar knows about rugby. I know theyre not gonna slag him off after signing but they didnt have to say anything if they dint want to. So what is it that were all missing about him

You reckon a player drafts their own statements for the club website and HDM, do you?
