I'd say it's keeping too many average players that's been our problem.

Whiting is worth another contract IMO. Every side needs one utility player, and Whiting is a good one. He's also young and British.

There are a number of players ahead of him in the queue to be released.

Thorman
Radford
King

Possibles:
G. Horne
Cusack
Tony
Hall
Thackray

Depends if we recruit better quality of players in the front row and don't renew Tony and Cusack's deals. But I wouldn't be overly upset to see these players leave if they are replaced by better ones.

If Whiting gets a new contract it tells us how much ambition we have, none.

Jesus Martin....that is harsh on Whiting.

if we sign Matt Orford i will officially stop whinging on RLFans for at least the rest of the season

haven't seen much of Kimmorley for years, but he is one of the best players I've ever seen live (the KC ashes test)

Sorry, but I want to see us at the top of SL, and we will go nowhere near
with the likes of Whting and G.Horne on the field.

That is true but I'm not sure what it has to do with Rich Whiting.

He is mediocre, it's quite simple.

What like 2006 when we finished 2nd and reached the grand final with both Grahame Horne and Rich Whiting playing regularly?
