As a public forum not everyone can get the future right.
Standee has already admitted he was wrong about rich has had alot of posters, I instead of trying to score cheap points why not congratulate rich and his superb form?

I have congratulated him after virtually every round this season.

hes not only surprised me but delighted me.

I'd keep him in the 3/4's this year then, if we can recruit well in the off season, get him in the gym and move him to the back row.

I'd even give him a lenght of a contract he wants.

The only difference is that if it goes on report then the video review panel have to look at it. If not, it's at their discretion. Personally I'm not convinced that this slight difference is worth worrying about, especially in a situation like yesterday when the side who have been infringed against have gained a clear advantage.

He's played every game so far and we've only just started picking up injuries in the past couple of games.

It's not about predicting the future, it's about being able to see the qualities a player has. Whiting has always been a very good player - it's just taken some longer than others to realise it.

so if everyone was fit were would you play him?

Has always been the wifes favourite player which she pointed out to his late Grandfather when we met him at the train station on the way to the CC final in Cardiff. Seems a daft thing to say but he is one of the most valuable players in our squad. He offers so much utility value in a variety of positions that he just has to be in the team somehow. I still find it difficult to decide just what his best position is though as he is competant in so many roles. To top it all off he is a great pro and great bloke to go with it. I think I'm welling up

To an extent it doesn't matter [iwhere[/i he plays, as long as he's on the pitch. Personally, I'd like to see him at 13 with Fitz moving up to the front row in place of Radford.

And, as I said earlier, everyone was fit at the start of the season and he was selected, on form, in the centre.

RW is a critical part of our 1st 13 imo, clever kid made for loose forward if you ask me absolutely made for it!!
the ammount of times he pulls out the stops to help is amazing!!!
as I said before as important to the team as Fitz or Long!!
and a damn nice chap too....
If we dont sign him up there will be no lack of others who will

And a founder member of the fev mafia

Totally agree with you . He shone in yesterdays game . His take upfield was awesome . And to bring him all the way back . Was just criminal .

I agree with offering him a long-term contract but only on the proviso that he invests in some proper rugby boots and dumps the divers' boots, he currently wears, in the bin
