Whiting isn't a centre
Jesus. Not this again. Whatever you think Whiting's best position is, he is currently the best centre at the club.

The same would be true of any winger and will remain so until the attacking problems are sorted out.

IMO it is not looking something like. We have shipped 3 tries in 2 games as a direct result of Whiting getting his defensive positioning/reading wrong.
No. The tries were shipped as a direct result of the defence being too compressed in the middle of the park, leaving four players for Whiting and Calderwood to cover.

Although he was replaced by a one-legged player who's been out for weeks and hasn't been training at half even when he was fit. And he still created more, even if he had no pace and the timing of his passes was a bit off. Plus the game had gone and the players were visibly down, especially after the mistake from the drop-out.
Basically, I don't think we can judge the attack with Berrigan at half based on that 40 mins.
I'm not. I'm a million percent sure that Berrigan will be a better option. That said, any scrum half would struggle given the lack of forward power we currently have.
