Nope, I think he would go well in that position, and at little expense.

Up until his injury I'd have agreed with you. Since his return, however, he's lost a lot of weight and his defence has suffered. Maybe that's down to him managing his diabetes and with some more work on his diet he could regain some weight and his defence would improve again.

Richard needs some confidence, that isn't coming from playing behind a beaten pack outside a useless half-back partner and knowing you are not in the right position for your talents, with a coach with no game plan, who doesn't understand interchanges, set plays or team tactics.

I can kind of forgive Richard his deficiencies this season.

Then you're totally bonkers. He's nowhere near a first choice spot of any kind. He's well behind just about every one of the players you listed below your first choice 13.

For someone who can't wait to say just how mediocre he thinks Whiting is, regardless of the fact that he's one of the best RL brains we have, it's even more baffling that you'd start G Horne.

I agree, Standee is bonkers. Could name a few at our club, Mike Burnett for one, who would be in front of him before we even consider availability of players from other clubs who would probably be on the same wage level.

That's the best summation I've read, and I agree with 100%. The lad is pure rugby league, he must have been conceived on the pitch and born in the dressing room .
6/13 in direct contest with Washy, I think Whiting is the better of the 2.

he is awful

IMO Whiting is the better playmaker of the two, reads the game superbly , hence all the interceptions, man if he had pace, he'd be a class centre.

Disagree.

I think Washys overall skill set is better suited to LF than Whitings. Whiting is one of those players who can't command a postion, but is excellent back up due to his ability to be solid wherever he plays.

Couldn't agree more. As for a lack of pace Whiting isn't that slow and certainly no slower than Wellens who still gets rated as one of the top FB's in SL.
He looked asured and comfortable at FB, would prefer to see him there than Horne.

Has anything been said about Hornes injury?

Could we see Whiting start at 1 v Cas with Horne or Thorman at 6? Maybe Thorman at 6 and R Horne at 3?

I reckon if R. Horne is fit he'll be at full back and Whiting at centre. Want to see how R. Horne would go at centre as I think he should play there next season. He's got the pace to play there, his defence was good against the bigger blokes a couple of seasons, so he should do alright against the smaller ones. I reckon he'll be able to put his winger away too.

Cant see Graeme being moved from 3.
