Hull FC's Whiting ruled out for the season

The 25-year-old Whiting, who is the club's only ever-present this year, picked up the injury in last Thursday's 20-16 derby victory over Hull KR.

X-rays have confirmed the worse for Whiting, showing a fracture close to a screw and plate he had fitted following a previous broken arm.

Hull coach Richard Agar said: "It will take around eight weeks to heal so it is a blow for us as he will be out for the season.

"I am really disappointed for Rich as he as been ever present for us this season and played in a variety of positions."

Calderwood, who had only just returned in Thursday's match from a long-term hamstring injury, has now injured his other hamstring and is facing another lengthy spell out of the game.

"We are awaiting the results for tests for Calders but we do suspect he could be out for the rest of the season," added Agar.

Hull are already resigned to be being with Mark O'Meley, Sean Long and Craig Fitzgibbon for Friday's home game against leaders Wigan and they have Danny Tickle and Sam Moa facing the Rugby Football League's disciplinary committee later today.
