I really feel sorry for Penny at the moment..... He's doing everything but score.
Put in some great performances in various positions but always seems to get ankle tapped when half way through a gap.... The forward pass today was unlucky as he had done the winger and I'd have backed him any day against the full back.

His time will come though.

Some of our edge defence reminded me of '08 with KP playing outside Matt King and Louis Anderson. Louis would go walkabout looking to put a big shot on someone leaving King and Penny to squeeze in to plug the hole. Alarming that Rovers kept running down that channel and even after TS's touchline intervention we still didn't push up. A lot to work on there this week. One thing that stood out for me though, Campese is a top quality half back (with the size of a back-rower) who would have been just what we needed this year.

Not that old one thats doing the rounds......Cooper Cronk!

For me, our poor kicking game will see us fall short in all comps this season. It is a huge area that we need to improve on massively.

If we don't win anything this year, I think it will be because of our kicking game. However, that is not the same as saying we won't win anything despite the kicking game. We know we can beat any team in Super League and we may only need to do that two weeks running to win the Grand Final. St Helens didn't have a kicking game last year. Nor this year really either yet!

Guess I was right after all.
