To all the _He's to slow - he' not this - he's not that - HOLD your hands up - he was fab tonight - Well done Richard and well done Rich Agar for sticking with you.

A couple of really key plays towards the end when were toiling. Well played Rich

One mess up at a PTB, other than that just great - some blinding tackles.

still like to see turner there at some point

well done Rich excellent defensive display tonight. Rich if we play against good attacking centres, and Hall if we play against poor defensive centres

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.

RW seems to like playing against big fellas outwide. For the amount of time Soliola was on the pitch he had him marked all game. Remember what he did to LV all them years ago, people had to help the stewards pick LV out of row F in the west stand.

that was awesome seeing Whiting throw Vainokolo like that, though Rich had a great game, he reads the game very well, just lacks a bit of pace.

Very good effort by RW the position should now be his to lose.

Saved us twice..... nuff said....

was fantastic tonight imo

Great.

One bad read in defence, otherwise fantastic. Hope he keeps his place for Huddersfield.

Top notch performance from Rich as always.

You always get the same from RW which is a solid performance with the occasional piece of brilliance in attack and defence.

Had a terrific game, especially when Tansey got binned. Came up with some great reads and excellent tackles.

That's the thing. We all know he doesn't have great pace but he reads the play so well he very often doesn't need it. Going to be a good tussle for the 3/4 spots this year.

One of his best games for us IMO. What an asset he's been - and continues to be - for us.

He had enough pace to catch and tackles Eastmond early on from a break, more down to his reading of the game.

I'd still prefer Hall in the centres but it's a real battle with Whiting, personally I don't see a spot yet for Turner.

Rich Whiting must be signed again and quickly. Not enough pace, blah blah blah - his speed is his quick thinking, would much rather have him than someone who can run fast but has no positional sense and cannot read the play. Gerrim signed quick before others come sniffin'!!

Good post

Well said - saved me typing all of this.

He was the only 1 to read Eastmonds kick over and came from nowhere to catch it....also he hurt Graham in a tackle in the 1st half....well what i could see of it.

I agree entirely. As you may know, I'm a massive fan of Whiting and last night he proved, once again, why the likes of Standee (and others who are so quick to label him 'average') haven't the faintest idea what they're talking about.

As an earlier poster said, the centre shirt should be his to lose.

Rich Whiting is living proof of what Bobby Moore said all those years ago -
the first 10 yards is in your head
