I've allways rated rich and known there was a place for him, but nobody can deny his pace is an issue. but in a side with plenty of pace you can get away with a slower player who brings other benefits to the side, maybe R.A sees this and we will be seeing the best out of rich this season.

See you after the break

I like Whiting and he has been playing well but Hall is still the biggest attacking thread whereas Whiting offers a far better defence. Guess it depends on who we are playing and how Agar wants us to approach the game as to which one will be picked.

Spot on. Opponents and pitch conditions both figure. Hally will set SL alight in the summer on warmer ground. In the arm wrestles like the Hudds game Whiting is the better option.

whiting has to play somewhere. he's the brains of the team, the one who when a ball goes loose or a chip kick is put in is always there to tidy it up. there's been no one doing that other than him since cooke left.

Someone made a pertinent point in another thread. Crusaders scored the majority of their tries from kicks this week. Hall is dodgy under the high ball as we all know so if Calders is fit i think Hall definately has to miss out.
