So, he's not a centre because of his lack of pace, but he could play full back if really needed?

Seriously?

Hang on a minute, I almost fell for it. Of course you're not that stupid.

those who think he will be a good 13, don't think he can play centre as well. Isn't s possible to be good in two positions?

Its not quite as easy as that. It is accepted that you can loose pace from around the age of 25 because of muscle loss. However "loosing pace with age" is much more likely for couch potatoes than a sportsman who keeps himself fit. Also injury can "benefit" your speed and general fitness. People tend to try harder in training/recovery and sometimes are better for it. I did my ACL's when in my late 20's and came back much fitter because of the rehab (which I wouldnt have done as much training without)
Personelly I still never thought Whiting was that slow but would agrea he would make a better 13 than perhaps a solid centre.

Yes it is, R. Horne SO & FB

he played outstanding against leeds two years ago at looseman

scored twice that two iirc

Surely it's those attributes that make the likes of Gidley and Lyon the world class centres they are.

Or Sam Moa - prop and winger (or whatever it was).

added to a great turn of pace, agreed.

Fair comment for players reaching late twenties i would of thought but Richard is only 24.

Plus we haven't seen him run for months so don't know how you can say he has lost speed.

Might turn out to be true but we have yet to see the evidence

has whiting ever been noted to be speedy

only in terms of speed of thought

i doubt very much that rich will be speedy now

i think whiting will make a good fullback if needed

second row or looseman for whiting

Have I missed something. It's not April 1st, is it?

Nope, march 5th, aka mencap day release

I'm starting to suspect there's somewhere giving away free booze. Maybe for the Queen's visit.

Played Centre in that game.

In fact he has only started at LF 4 times in the last 3 seasons.

I think his best position is Lf, but would be happy for him to play at centre if needed, I persoannly think he is a better centre than G Horne.

Whiting at FB







Just to add, Whiting is currently a Centre as he has yet to play any length of time in any other position. He may well end up as a back rower (I'd like to see him at LF) but so far he has proved to be a good centre, he has yet to prove anything as a back rower.

He played most of last season as a LF

When he played it was at LF how many games did he play last year?

the Catalan are going to play Bird that a Disgrace in my opinion what good for them is good for other S/L Clubs

too right totally agree i think this gives them an unfair advantage if they can sign players the rest of super league cant!!!!!!
