Not sure, all literature I've read just states RU! He's be a good addition to squad looking for a prop!

Don't want a druggie in our side.

Jesus, nor do I. Was just asking the question that's all. Would be interesting to see if he could addapt to our game if a team took him on.

Maybe Wigan will, seen as though Nobby thinks that the lacking thing in our game at the moment is RU players!

Whiting at FB

Oh please.......

The guy is a second rower or loose forward....he even isn't a centre, i'm a big fan of Whiting's but he lacks pace to play FB and as already stated he would be wasted there.

no thats why he won SLYP award whilst playing at centre

That was the whole point.

FFS, you are on the wrong forum for living in the past!

Whiting is a very good centre. He may well also make an excellent back rower. Some players are capable of both.

And yes, he did win SLYPOTY whilst playing at centre.

stop derailing thread meldrew

who is derailing, Whiting was YPOTY ages ago, it's a relevant comment.

no the point i was making he is a centre using the YPOTY as evidence.

His speed has declined since he was YPOTY, hence the observation that he isn't a centre anymore.

Based on your reasoning my Grandmother could be a virgin sacrifice, she was one once.

Bloody hell is that actually possible?

second row or looseman

he is never a centre now

wasn't starting from a high base, granted.

a) No, it hasn't. He was always that slow.

b) He has so many other attributes that make him suitable to play centre that he is still a very good centre despite his lack of pace. He'll never be a world class centre for that reason, but he's still better than many in SL.



Last time I was round there, she was still as tight as one.

Wrong, providing he admits to drug taking, he is perfectly fit to play for leeds

He's more of a centre than Moa is a second rower.

did you get help digging her up!!!!!

doubt that very much

Then you would, of course, be quite wrong. Not for the first time, I suspect.

If you still doubt it, let's see how many times Whiting plays centre over the season compared to how many times Moa plays second row.

nil then

Damn crutches slow everyone down

It is an accepted fact that atheletes lose a certain amount of pace with age, add in the muscle atrophy that occurs during injury/recovery and he has, understandably, lost pace over the years.

He is much better suited to play 13, he has a great football brain and reads the game well, and for those reasons he could, at a push, play FB if really needed.

Disagree, Whiting can still play centre and so does RA as I believe Whiting is playing centre tonight?

People can throw around about Whiting being a backrower or looseman but where is the evidence he can play there and do a good job in SL?

His best games have all been at centre, I woul imagine he might be able to do a good job at looseman too although not so sure about the backrow.
