I don't think that's fair, Washy was ruined by Agar.

I'm not saying he's a bad player, just that he's more suited to the bottom end of SL than the top. Whiting had a poor deal under Agar, but still managed to perform consistently well. Washbrook was never destined to be anything other than solid, IMO.

Gosh, I don't really know where to go with that.

Go to your sky plus.

If we all want to forget the the last 6 years and pretend we've never seen this style of rl before then fair enough.

When Sharp coached us we played a similar style, we were strong in defnce and used to win the close games. Washy was very good for us, his career went down hill when Agar started playing 'props' at 13.

If you check my posts on Whiting I've always said he could be a good backrower for us, i've likened him to Ellis on numerous occasions, but I aren't going to forget Washy's earlier games for us.

No doubt he's doing well, he always was a 13. My point is he followed the man that had basically ruined any potential he had.

I never saw any thing more than the potential to be a decent player if I am honest, which judging by his stats so far this season he has reached.

Then you have a very poor memory.

Maybe...all I recall is a few decent games, nothing which was outstanding though.

Why? He's telling the truth.

I disagree. He had some good games, but was never anything special.

He's been outstanding though. I don't ever recall Washbrook having the sort of influence Whiting had in his second spell against Rovers, for example.

Wsahy had some excellent 80 mins games for us.

My Sky+? I don't have any of Washbrook's games for Hull FC on there.

I'm not forgetting his games for us, I just have a much different view of them. He's never been in Whiting's class as far as I'm concerned, but to say he could have been 'our Sinfield' is just laughable.

He was outstanding in numerous games in 2006.

He had some good games. I don't recall him ever having the sort of influence Whiting has had this season.
