Hope he can come to one of our home matches so we can give him a good send off.

Gutted to see Superman go especially with not being able to give him a proper send off.



Would love the club to have been able to keep him at the club in a coaching role as his knowledge of the game is invaluable and although maybe not in the world class bracket he should rightly go down as an all time great at Hull FC.

Terrific servant to the club, very sad to see him leave.

The very very best of luck to Rich and his family for the future. Hope we get chance to give him a proper send off

Maybe set up an unofficial Rich Whiting appreciation day, pick a Leigh match when FC are not playing and go across I know I'd be up for it.

Goof post, I would be up for that

Good Luck Richard

Great post and great idea. Your opportunity would be Sunday 1st May , We play Batley at home 3pm KO.

You guys play on the Friday 29th April at home to Catalan.



Our next home game after that is the 12th June against Fev and you guys play wire away that day.



The next available one at home is on the 3rd July when we play the Bulls. HTH







And by the way - He's been brilliant for us. It's a fantastic signing, And I'm glad he's settled in for us.

For me this is a sad day for Hull FC for Richard Whiting is a hero that ranks amongst the best loved ever, of our players over the 60 or so years I've been around the Club.



He was always such a selfless individual who would do anything in any position for our Club. Never the out and out superstar he is still for me a real 'Hall of Famer' And although I know that there is no room for sentiment in sport a modicum of sentimentality from time to time never goes amiss.



For me this is so different to when say Horney retired because we all knew that was coming, we prepared for it and he left the Club to retire. This is somewhat of a surprise coming as it does mid season and it will not be long before someone says "I wish Whiting was here!"



He always gave his all and had great vision as a player, but he had some special qualities too. Whether it was being the go to man at short kick-off's or that amazing ability he always had of being able to hone in on any loose ball that fell within 6 or 7 yards of him, he was a very special player for us!! I helped a little with his Testimonial and he was a top bloke off the field too! I'll really miss him! I hope everyone on here will do as I have and contact the owner or the Club and request that they invite Richard to the Catalan game, so that before the game we can pay proper tribute to his selfless service to our Club.



Sad day for me, I liked Richard Whiting!

Guess if we beat Toulouse on Saturday, you'll want Leigh at your place in the next round, you win easily, and Superman Whiting scores for us !!!

A real FC man and it will seem strange seeing Stilts in another club's shirt. As I understand it, he's still on loan to the end of the season and I think it would be great if Radders could recall him to the fold for one last appearance before he becomes a Leigh player permanently. He would get a great send off from the fans and it would be a fitting farewell to one of our favourite sons.

Richard was one of those FC players that have turned up from time to time over our history. Not the world's greatest, not the flashiest, not the biggest hitting, the best passer, the best kicker nor and I feel unjustly referred to as not the fastest.



What he was and still is is a player that came across as a totally honest professional with integrity, gave his all, rarely had a bad game and would play without a murmur wherever he was asked and do a plenty fine job at it. Slot in at fullback after a stint at prop, where's RW, kick goals a couple of years after his last, yep that Richard again, he must be considered the greatest versatility player ever in living memory if not ever in the history of the game.



Not deemed good enough to be a full international by those who select such, yet he would have done far better than some of the cack that have let down the country when pulling on the jersey!

He most definitely will go down as a club legend and rightly deserves a proper send off at a home game if at all possible, to a packed house before the derby game as Leigh aren't playing until the Sunday would be fitting.

Proper old faithful.
