Well average or utility or slow, one things for sure Rich Whiting is probably our most consistent performer & has been for a while.
Constantly moved about yet is still the player that often turns a game & leads by example even when our so called better players have been found wanting.

Do we now need 2 more fowards with Radford retiring, pack as it stands

Would definatley like to see 2 more forwards signed if possible as we are looking a bit lightweight in the pack now IMO

Id have 13 Rich Whitings in the team...100% commitment every week no matter where he plays.Personally i see him as a 13 but wouldnt mind him having a go at 2nd row as we have another back who can cover the centres in Turner.Still think we need another big nasty B'stard of a prop and a centre.....if we go with Turner,we are asking for trouble...ok against lesser sies but found wanting against the big boys.

It is rather confusing, I must concur.

I think we could cope with 1 more new prop, and let a youngster have a chance as back-up if needed.

Centre concerns me just as much. On one side of the backs we have a potential England Centre/Wing partnership, the other side will be drawn out of a hat as things stand.

Whiting is one of our best players. Invaluable. The fact he has played in almost 10 positions in his time here and not disgraced himself in any says it all. Not his fault we have asked him to do this, and do it he has. Better than most, and admirably.

The Club seem to be drawing a few blanks .
Is Adam about to get his cheque book out again I wonder?

It's the same every off season. The annual 'Slag Rich Whiting Off' thread is anticipated as excitedly by some as the 'Cheerleaders' thread is by others.

It is predictable and mental, it does my head in!!.....Thankfully although it is an annual event on here clearly the majority of the faithful appreciate his worth after all he was voted fans player of the year

Re: More Rumours!! : Thu Oct 06, 2011 8:28 pm  

So Fitz not replaced, Gleeson not replaced and Radford now need replacing.

Need to hear some transfer activity soon!

I would like to see a bid for Burgess at Bradford. I have just been reading on their board that they feel Lynch was basically pushed out for the money, added to the fact he has only a year left on his deal and has openly stated his desire to make a name for himself in SL. Then surely he's ripe for a cash bid.
