Says the fact he has not made a 19 man squad yet ?

Like a few other players make or break Year for Rich, we all know that he has great potential, but he has to get over his injuries and show this potential.

but washy has the 3 year deal and with the salary cap and 25 man squad can we afford to have a back row heavy squad?

It's not going to be an earth shattering contract though is it?

Personally I hope whiting becomes the regular Looseman as I think he has the better rugby brain and is more of a natural talent. I think Washbrook is a more limited and predictable player in comparison.

That was four years ago.

He needs to find a position.

Loose forward for me..........he is a better squad player than Lee and G.Horne IMO.

That statement would be evidenced by 1 good season in the centres about 3 or 4 years ago too. Difficult to give any kind of verdict about Whiting currently and where he fits imo as he hasnt really played for a couple of years other than the odd games.

Not really as when he has played we have looked a better team with him in it.I agree he has to play a lot but he offers so much when he does play and is woth keeping.
