Richard Whiting has brought his 12-year spell at Hull to an end by turning his loan deal with Championship leaders Leigh into a permanent move. The 31-year-old centre or second-rower scored 78 tries in 257 games for Hull after joining them from Featherstone in 2004 and was a member of their 2005 Challenge Cup-winning side. Unable to break into Lee Radfords team this year, he joined the Centurions two months ago and will now stay on loan at the Leigh Sports Village until the end of the season, when he will take up a contract until the end of 2017.Leigh coach Neil Jukes said: Richard is a great professional and has proved himself to be a big asset during his time with us.He is a very versatile player and has really enjoyed his time here. I know that in one way he will be sad to leave Hull after giving many years of valuable service to them but he is excited by the challenge at Leigh Centurions and ready to write a new chapter into his illustrious playing career.Whiting was named Super Leagues young player of the year in 2005 and scored a try in Hulls shock Challenge Cup final win over Leeds. He was also in the Hull team that reached the 2006 Super League Grand Final.Whiting said: I knew at some point it would be time to say goodbye.The opportunity has presented itself at Leigh where I am really enjoying playing and it is an exciting time to be around the club so it is the right time for me and the club.We have a great squad at Leigh and a chance to go up into Super League, which is exciting and something I want to be part of. Whiting joined Leigh on loan earlier this year Hull coach Lee Radford said: Rich has been a fantastic servant to the club since day one and his utility value has been important over the many years he has played for us.Hes done the same job in whichever position hes been asked to play, both in the build-up to matches and switching during games.We are at a point where we couldnt guarantee Rich regular footy and he is at the stage in his career where that is important, he needs to be playing week in-week out.Leigh have presented him with the opportunity to have that both this season and beyond, so the call was a no-brainer for him.

You might be used to seeing Todd Frazier on the field for the Chicago White Sox, but it wasnt too long ago that he was making cakes on the Jersey boardwalk.Who was your favorite player growing up? Frazier:?Paul ONeill. I loved watching him. I loved the way he played. He played hard, but once in a while hed let a water cooler know how he felt about it, and I didnt mind that. It goes to show that he cared, though I dont think Ill be doing that anytime soon. Its just one of those things that you want to do good in your job, and I respect him for it.Who is your favorite player to watch today (not a teammate)? Frazier:?I tell everybody its Mike Trout. Hes a special athlete. Hes my buddy. Hes from Jersey, too, as well. He thinks he owns Jersey, but I think at the end of the day, I take care of it. We always bust each others chops jokingly, but hes a special player. I love to watch him.Who is your most underrated teammate? Frazier:?I would say Melky Cabrera. Hes having a really good year this year. I think its going unnoticed because were a little far off the [playoff] race right now. Hes not much of a theater-kind of guy. He goes after the game in the right way and he plays hard. So hes getting two, three hits a game it seems like and making a nice play in the outfield or throwing somebody out, so Id have to say him.Whats the most annoying question you are asked by the media?Frazier:?It just depends on how the day is going. When somethings going on and then you [get asked] to talk about another player on the team. Lets say theres something that happened during the year, like, Do you think this guy should have done something differently when he did this? Just talking about a different scenarios about a certain instance that happens. I think thats the most annoying question, because youre damned if you do, damned if you dont. Both on the field and off the field. If theres a problem and then they come to you and ask. For one, youre not the coach, I guess, and two, you cant really give out the answer, and if you do, you get blamed for everything. Youve got to be careful.One rule you would channge? Frazier:?This is a good one.ddddddddddddThe swinging foul ball, whether the catcher catches it or not on strike three. I think thats an easy one. When an umpire calls it foul and looks down at first base. Theres no chance any umpire, unless you have Ted Williams vision, can see if the catcher catches a foul ball on a swinging strike-three foul ball. I think that is one rule Id like to see get into the replay system.Who is ultimately responsible for policing the game? Players, manager, umpires, league? Frazier:?I think it should be players. I think thats what they did back in the day, and I think it should be like that now. I think its a lot more difficult just with different people now that play this game. Its a totally different game than it was back in the day, but I think players should police what goes on, on and off the field and inside the clubhouse, you know?How big of a problem are PEDs in todays game? Frazier:?I think its a big problem. I think its huge. You see all the different guys coming out [with positive tests], unexpected guys, its like holy cow. I think youve got to do something different about that now. I know [getting suspended] half the years a lot, and you dont get to be in the playoffs as well, but I think eventually theyre going to just ban the guys from getting popped. Id like to see that.What is something that people dont know about you or have wrong about you?[Teammate chimes in: He worked on the boardwalk!]Frazier:?That was my first job. In Seaside Heights, New Jersey. That was my first job, and actually I was a bakery assistant in the bakery department of ShopRite for a year-and-a-half. So I designed the cakes. I finally got it down how to write on them and everything. Cookies, you name it, anything that dealt with bakery, I really knew about it. That was something cool. I had fun doing that. That was my freshman year in high school.[Frazier added that his favorite part was prepping the donuts. He liked to eat those, too.] ' ' '
