It is good to see so many fans appreciating his performance yesterday spoke after the game to my daughter and said the same, her comment was lets see how many other saw what we did, so well done to true rugby fans it is not just about the tries, does is week in week out probably 3 bad games in 3 years and has been in every position now as he hooks .

Can't remember these 3 games if I'm honest.

He does have them, albeit few and far between.

Yesterday I thought his first spell was pretty good but his second spell was superb. He popped up everywhere, ran hard, and showed some great vision and passing.

Great player to have in the squad and I reckon any side in SL would love to have him on their books.

Me neither, I recall the odd dropped ball but that is about it, one of the most consistent solid players to ever wear our shirt.

Saints at home last year.

Thats the only one I can remember, but his std is usually that high it stuck in my mind.

Love the bloke and want him here for the rest of his career. Bet he could well go into coaching too, as seems to have a great rugby brain.

Herpes?

So, would you still have Washbrook in front of Rich then?????

Strange question. When did I say that?

No I wouldn't but then there are very few players I would choose above Whiting and most of them are Australian Internationals , I never rated Washy but to be fair he is actually doing well at Wakey, of course Wakey are not but he is...

I think the point he's making is that there were several posters who did rate Washbrook more highly than Whiting. I had many an argument about it on here a few years ago. Not sure if EHFCF was one of them, but they certainly existed.

Oh right, I never really rated Washy and he was certainly never in Whitings class (but few are) but it would have been interesting to see how Washy went under Gentle, the man certainly appears to know how to get the best out of players.

I can't actually remember, I don't think Whiting came into any of my discussions about Washbrook playing 13.
My argument with Washy was that people were slagging him off when he was playing 6, which I thought was unfair considering he was always a 13 and never was someone who could control a game. We had Radford playing 13 at the time too!

When Washy first played he had far more promise than Whiting at loose, he could have easily been (under a different coach) our Sinfield.

Which is why I was surprised he followed Agar to Wakey. The guy pretty much ruined any potential he had.

I disagreed with that view at the time and I certainly disagree now. Washbrook has found his level. He could have been coached by Wayne Bennett and he still wouldn't be fit to lace Sinfield's boots. Whiting always looked a much better player to me, and that has proven to be the case.

His only/best paid opition?

Disagree....when we got Whiting,he had 13 wrote all over him imo and Washbrook was a 1 trick pony with the show and step off left foot,where as Whiting had a damn sight more to his game.Washbrook has found his level at Wakey.

Which says it all, really.

My memory may be going but I haven't seen Whiting have a better game than Washys best game at loose for us.

In his first 2 seasons Washy was superb.

Which one?

Gosh, I don't really know where to go with that.

Only been playing 13 this season though hasnt he.

I don't think that's fair, Washy was ruined by Agar.

He's been outstanding though. I don't ever recall Washbrook having the sort of influence Whiting had in his second spell against Rovers, for example.
