| Possibly because although BJB sometimes has poor games, he has also had good defensive games, including the more exposed full back role?
It seems to me that fans are remarkably hard on players who they think are destined for greatness and then disappoint. Rivett is similarly disparaged on the Leeds board by a lot of people - not even the fact he scored 4 tries at Wembley seems to matter. Aisncough is similarly trashed on the Wigan board, forgetting how good he looked in his first season.
Penny has an amazing highlights reel - I would have loved to have been there when he scored some of those tries, even against Leeds. I hope most people choose to remember the tries and not the stuff ups. He and Ainscough haven't become greats of the game, but they've given fans some moments of great excitement, which shouldn't be underestimated either.

| I can still remember the electric atmosphere in the South Stand when he received the ball and left the Wigan backs for dead as he beat them on the outside. From what i recall we beat them about 34-22 or something like that.

| I find it quite sad that there is no place, even in the lower echelons of super league, for players with as much exciting talent as penny just beacause they have some flaws in their game. I am sick of seeing pacy backs from all teams in super league looking for support when they break the line and are in the clear with just the full back to beat. Is trying to beat the last man with pace or a nice step a thing of the past? It wasn't just penny's pace that made him exciting, but his subtle change of pace when the full back attempted to tackle him. He regularly skinned the best (including wellens when he was in his pomp) full backs in the game. Still, he scored some of the best tries i've seen in a warrington shirt and that will stay with me forever.

| Quote ="the flying biscuit"Take Ben Jones Bishop, a young exciting winger with potential to go on and carve out a good career however he is still Raw, dodgy in defence,and dodgy under the high ball.but he's a decent attacking pacey winger but he hasnt grabbed headlines like Penny did, he hasnt scored the wonder tries penny did.Quote
The only headlines BJB should be getting is the one's stating how much of a dirt merchant in the ruck area he is, but I may just be going off on a tangent there after the game on Friday.
