There is no advantage gained? Ridiculous.

Would have thought something can be put on report in the lead up to a try but I bow to your greater knowledge of the rules. Was screaming at Silverwood for taking us back to our 20 but in the end dont think it mattered, got to go as my red n white neighbours have just arrived home, fun times ahead me thinks

I don't think they have to be put on report during the game - they can be cited afterwards by RFL?

It seems stupid, I know, especially as if Tansey had been fouled in the act of kicking, the pen would've been given where the ball landed, I'm also still not completely sure whether Silverwood blew his whistle before Whiting got tackled though

MoM for me today, reads the game better than any other in Super League, if he had pace he'd be an international, get him signed up, 3 year deal.

IMHO he probably has one of the best rugby brains in our squad, and although he has a lack of pace, his ability to read the opposition gives him a head start anyway, and I think he's vital to keep considering the amount of positions he covers, and covers brilliantly.

Have always rated Rich, his reading of the game is second to none.



Must agree with a few other posters on here, he was my MOM as his defensive display saved us from conceding tries on more than one occasion.

Whiting does have a great footballing brain, I also think his talents are wasted unless he is playing 6 or 13.



He may not be the fastest player on the park but neither was John Newlove when we signed him. John had lost what pace he had, long before we signed him. What Bunting did though was get others, who had pace, playing off Newlove and it paid dividends.



I'm just concerned that Agar would never consider Whiting for a pivot role, for fear of upsetting a "star"

Good post. Very few of our players would have gone the length of the field today in that situation. He would be world class with that extra yard. Agar missed a trick last year when not giving him a role at 6 or 13 when the season had ended for us. It would have been a great chance to see what he could offer in those positions.

For me, Richard was his usual honest dependable self. I see him as Fitz replacement (he is still only early 20's) and will give us that extra pivot and ideas in games. He has that air of unpredictability about him abd that has got to be worth a new deal.

Me and a few people i know have been screaming for him to be a 6 or 13 but even having him in the centres or at fullback is better than keeping him out the 17. considering he came to hull as a 6, he's not done bad in every other position he's played

He'd be an excellent 13. I don't see why anyone should be upset about trying it, either. It's not like Fitz can't play prop or second row.
