I can see it being both. Think the massive clearout will consist of us not offering thackray a new contract

I agree and without question it has got to be Whiting.

Give your head a bang.

Sadly disagree, never thought I would say this but Horne edging it at mo.



Frankly neither anywhere good enough for SL centre.



Whiting just not showing enough of the footballing ability & creativity we all think he's got. Clearly not powerful enough to play 13.



Horney offers true versatility covering several positions, defensively sound & powerful enough to survive.



Both journeymen IMO, any shirt number below 18 next season & more than a dozen appearances for either expect a similar season to this !



If both sign................................

I agree totally with that.

Very good post. I've always liked whiting but he doesn't look to me like he will ever be a 1st team regular (when everyone is fit) and players of that ilk at his age should move on to a club where they will be. Same goes for horne. If we were more ruthless with this type of player then we'd have a much better 1st choice 17. We should have a policy where any player not in our 1st choice 17 is under 23. Anyone over that age and not a 1st choice player should be released

Whiting signed for Hull as a stand off with a very good pair of hands, kicking game and rugby brain in general. Hull turned him into a centre and he played there through a very successful period for the club.



I liken Kyle Briggs at featherstone to Rich in that he is a tall talented ball handling half back who could go far in the game.



unfortunately as super league has developed I do not think that Whiting is now the centre that we need. can he play loose forward? Maybe given the chance but behind Washy for mine. Can he go back to been a stand off?

Whatever anyone may think about Whiting's credentials as a first choice centre or loose forward, I don't see how anyone with half a brain can say we should get rid of him. Even if he doesn't make the first 17 when everyone is fit, how often is everyone fit?



In the modern game, you need quality cover in case of the inevitable injuries that will be sustained over the course of a season. Whiting can step into centre, half back, or the back row and do a very good job there.



I also believe that, if we had a dominant pack, decent half backs and a proper defensive pattern, Whiting would make an excellent centre as he has done in the past.

Look Rich, we all like you, just that some of us feel a change of club might be the right thing for you

If he came to the club as a half. Why not give him a chance there now? Can't be worse than what we've got?
