That's the biggest mistake people make about Whiting's role.
Whatever you think of Whiting's abilities in different positions, the fact that he can do a 6/7 out of 10 job in so many positions is a massive asset in itself, and means that his value to the squad is far from 'average'.
I can't understand why a lot of people seem so hell-bent on the idea that Whiting simply must nail down a position- he performs an invaluable role for the side as it is, and there's no reason he can't continue to do so.

For me it's just that if he doesn't get a crack at a back row role where he can get his hands on the ball , use his brain a bit more and utilise what I think is his natural ability , we'll be left wondering whether his value could have been greater than it is as a utility.
