bit harsh on him, could hardly hep his injuries in 08 and the 2 games he did play he was one of our best players in each.

and go with a bare squad of less gthan 20 players ?

Fair point.

We'd be mugs to get rid.....

Swap for Radford. Whiting reads the game better than most and Radford is well past retirement. He should have been paid off this season.

Also, his injuries meant we had to put G Horne in. He was meant to go to Donny before the injury crisis hit our forwards, remember.

Rich Whiting is Mr reliable; plays in any position to a very good standard, he's English, isn't disruptive, he's only 24 and above all his heart's in the club.
He's not a 'superstar' but he's worth his weight in gold over the season.

Well put. And we owe him for his cheeky shout in the CC Final at Cardiff.

Come Bai lad.

TBF it should be, the club have stuck by him despite his terrible luck with injuries. In this day and age many clubs would have decided enough is enough, obviously the club see him in their future plans and personally I'd like to see him played at LF, he's a better all round player then Washbrook IMO.

I wouldn't pick him in the first 17. That said he is a fantastic squad player and can cover lots of positions and never lets the side down.

We need some utility, we've got rid of Horne and Lee who both fell into that bracket. My only concern with whiting is his injury record. He doesn't do niggles, he just breaks things.

IMO whiting should be LF in the absence of washy

i'm not keen on him in the centres as he doesn't seem to have enough pace. if he bulked up more then possibly 2nd row but we have so much competition for places it would be tough to pick him

if we get loads of injuries again i reckon agar will play whiting anywhere he can because of washy and turner. i reckon agar will use the friendlys for jordan turner and see how he goes. that will prob determine pecking order for turner and whiting but IMO washy at 13 everytime
