Richard Whiting : Sat Jul 04, 2009 8:40 pm  

Brilliant again today. No matter where he is played, he always does the business and for me, is one of the most valuable members of our squad.

Today backed up once again how good he is with ball in hand, along with showing great vision which we all know is one of his biggest assets. In my opinion, he needs to be in the team every week. I'm not fussed what position, he just has to be in there. He brings so much to the table and offers us something different.

Where would you like to see Rich play, not only this season, but next too? I'm not going to get giddy over one game, but is fullback now an option for him? Does he deserve a shot at stand off? Or would you prefer to see him in the pack?

Whilst he did a good job covering at FB he doesn't have the pace to play there long term IMO. For the rest of the season I woud play him at Centre and next season possibly 6 or 13.

I'd love to see him get a run - an extended run - at 6 or 13. Agree with the OP, though - just get him on the pitch. In his entire time with Hull I've never seen him give less than his all on any single occasion. Quality player who must feature more.

Any news on his contract?

Very important member of the squad and must be in the 13 if fit. Rich never lets us down.

On the basis of tonight, Whiting stays, G Horne goes.

Agree, he looked very comfortable at full back and his positional play was excellent. He's got a great pair of hands too and i'd love to see him have a shot at stand off. Basically whatever position he plays, he will bring something to the team and give 100%. Needs signing up ASAP.

On the basis of every game, ever. He's a far superior player in just about every respect.
