Did he come out level or one try up by the end of the game? Either way, hardly something worth gloating about.

Penny did well today. The best I've seen him play.

Easy tries? They weren't exactly walk-ins

Saints right hand side was a disgrace all night in defence, which was down to Daniel Anderson.

PLaying Matt Gidley out of position at full back meant he had to play Chris Flannery out of position in the centre spot. Matt King finally had a decent game in attack because Flannery drifted out of position. Leaving Sean Long no cover at all!

Ive seen sh*te players score ht tricks many times and i seen another tonight.

He doesn't get good enough support in defence from King imo, king rushes up to much which creates space that pennty can't cover on his own.

People should be worrying about Gardner, he's our current starting right winger for GB he's had 6 tries scored past him in 4 games against a player who only scores walk ins, makes 10 errors a game and cant tackle.

FFS

Another load of inane postings by people who should know more about the game but prove once again they ain't got a clue.

Next you will be saying soccer players are intelligent!

You would expect any winger to finish the first two. The 3rd was a good try, nice step, although it was a bit of a half d attempt by Gardner. The guy who said we should be worying about him is spot on.

He had no right to score the third.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't he just run past a woefully out of position Ade Gardner? Obviously it needed a fair bit of pace to score, but that's all it was: being faster than his opponent.

He did
That step and then turn of pace
i would have found it hard foramny people to have stopped that

Piece of pi5s then, Dwayne Chambers obviously will be a massive success on that basis.

My nan could have scored them 3 last night

Having seen the game last night my opinion on Kevin Penny hasn't changed in the slightest he is still all hype for me.

yeah, just the one hat trick tonight against Saints.

IMO he's more of an athlete than a rugby league player.
He doesn't have particulary good passing, catching or tackling skills but his speed and athleticism get him noticed.
Obviously he will improve as he gets more experience but at the moment I think he is very over rated.

Spot on you know it's bad when ade gardner runs over you

When did that happen? Gardner went for the corner and penny couldn't get there in time. He hardly ran over him.

You what?

Penny was there it was anderson who didn't get there in time go and check it mark



He knocked penny out of the wat fact

I love it when you post. You highlight the crisis in the education system in Wigan.

While most opposition fans criticise Penny they would like to have him in their team.

He has got pace to burn and plenty of time to learn the game ( Chambers is too old)

So ok his head on tackling technique is never going to be very good, with his pace he can usually let some one pass and then tackle from behind or along side.

When Saints had Anthony Sullivan a few years ago he wasn't renowned for his defence but he scored some classic tries

Kevin Penny = Poor Man's Duaine Chambers

Definitely not, I would hate to see Penny in a Huddersfield Giants shirt!

His one attribute is his finishing ability. Which he showed well last night. He is not a big, fast but poor with his hands 'athlete'-type winger as many people seem to think. His catching skills rarely let him down. He is just not big or strong enough and is very poor at reading the game both in attack and defence.

At least Penny hasn't been banned for taking drugs...

His finishing was top notch last night, brave too at times.

He also likes a cuddle, even when his team mates dont want one he jumps them and gives them a nice big smiley cuddle.
