Way OTT,is this Rich Whiting were talking about or Knocker or Sterling,get real for ffs,Whitings a squad player who gives his best,nothing more nothing less.

Totally disagree, Ok not as good as the players mentioned (has anyone compared him to them?) but much better than "gives his best".



Very good SL player who would get into every SL 17.



He has an excellent all round game and is looking like an established backrow forward already.

Some people don't realise what we have in Richard Whiting.

He is, in my opinion, one of the best Rugby League players playing in Super League at the moment.

Many of you will say I'm on drugs and can name many players who you think are better.

However, he has played in every position on the park, many times over for us, never complaining and always gives 100%. He rarely has a poor game and quite often makes the top two or three in man of the match polls. How many times a game do we all applaud his one on one tackles, his breaks (yes, he does appear slow at times), his hard yards etc. Many players are better in their own position but none can play in all positions to the very high standard he does.



Richard Whiting would have most teams in Super League after him for a fact if we where foolish enough to let him go. There is not a better (and I hate to say it) utility player in the game. Every team needs at least one player like Richard Whiting.......and we have Richard Whiting so we should try and keep him.



I hope Peter Gentle signs him up for 3 years.

2+option is the way to go, just in case.

Not only did Whiting have a great game against Leeds but facilitated Manu having a great game aswell. The Leeds defence would normally double up on Manu but Whiting kept creating that uncertainty in the minds of the defenders which freed up a lot of space for Manu to exploit. He reminds me of the best of Chester/McMenemy. Anyone questioning his worth and/or ability should probably go and have a lie down in dark room.

Been saying this for about 5 years.

good post uppo58,totaly agree.

far too much positivity these days .................well done keep it up, I love it ha ha

Doesn't AP want players on longer contracts so we can decide when they leave?

We've got a diamond is Rich Whiting. Dont offer him a new contract and see how many other SL clubs are interested...quite a few would be my guess!

My all time favourite try in my 50 years supporting Hull was scored by Richard Whiting - Cardiff 2005. Sums him up for me and I hope he stays with my Club until he retires.

Hope he stays forever. One of my favourite players to wear the shirt, in my time.
