He did some great ass slapping in the first half.

I think its some of the more experience players that need to be looking at their performances last night and shaping up quick!

[iadds warrington wolf to the 'knob end' list[/i

Warrington Wolf isn`t a driving instructor by any chance is he - his facebook page makes interesting reading if it`s who I think it is ...

Compare and contrast this thread to the one regarding Ainscough at Wigan. Fair play to the pies, they back their players to the hilt, Ainscoough mkaes errors, but they view his overall game. Any errors Penny makes there is a hue and cry.

If we had Hazem el masri playing for us I'd hate the day he missed a couple of touchline conversions....
this place would be full of nobs demanding a goal kicking coach or something

Penny did nothing wrong at all. The one thing I couldn't work out is why we didn't downtown kick the ball for him to chase at least once in the game.

Actually they have a fair share of fans who ripped him to pieces when he was playing, rather like Penny. The problem they have is that many don't rate Roberts either.

The only Wigan fans who have slated on(although it's been more consrtuctive criticisim) were the ones who've watched him on a regular basis in the u21's over the past couple of years.

They don't believe he's really ready for the first team because of his weaknesses and would rather see him develope in the u21's or on loan somewhere.

I don't agree because i believe his pro's far outweight his cons and the club should be good enough to help the lad develope as a first team player. He's shown he's a natural try scorer and looks to have a good attitude.

I think at least 95% of Wigan fans feel the same.

On certain threads though there has been a vocal minority who slate him, which tbh is exactly what has happened over here with the likes of Penny.

Look at the stick Mathers got at your club, same with Fielden, and even Noble.

I'm not necessarily questioning whether they deserved it (although IMO I don;t believe any player deserves some of the stick they get), I was just pointing out that the Wigan fans are no different to ours.

Ainscough hasn't been bashed by any Wigan fan on a scale that even comes close to Mathers or Fielden.

He gets backed by a huge majority and has one or 2 flaws questioned by a few. There defo hasn't been any Wigan fans saying to bin him off like Penny gets off the odd one on here.

You are missing my point.

Forget Ainscough, the statement was about backing players. Some of the stick Mathers received was disgusting, and still is.

For some of us defending him is a Labour of Love...

No I am not a Driving Instructor or am I sad enough to be on Facebook.

Fair do's. They've backed Ainscough to the hilt imo. Maybe he should have said they back their 'youngsters' to the hilt because they do rightly or wrongly.

As for Mathers you may have seen on our board after the Semi i said the way a section of Wigan fans treated him last Saturday was embarrasing. He's a good lad and never gave anything less then 100% for Wigan.

He didn't deserve the stick he got.

Sad enough to groundlessly target players on a web forum though, I've yet to see you defend your original post with examples

bit hard to come up with examples when he made it up

That was my point

some of the pathetic Penny bashing reminds me of the Mathers bashing at Pie dome

Look at Mathers now when he has fans that back him.

Back Penny and we'll reap the reward

if he'd intercepted any ball last night certain try.

look at the Anderson brothers break the line but get caught, if any of those incidents had been Penny, certain try.

He took a great cross field kick and with a touch of luck would again have gone full length. No one else in our team can do that.

I WAS WATCHING MATHERS LAST NIGHT PISSING MYSELF AT HIM

well then i suggest huggies. quite comfortable apprently

you were so overcome with joy that Richie is playing in a final, that's very sporting of you

Leave Penny alone, he is totally committed to Warrington, if he isnt upto scratch and doesnt deserve to play for wire then TS will make that decision. He is miles better qualified to make the decision than any of the d*#kh&%ds on here.

I am getting fed up with our so called supported calling our players - we need to get behind them and give them confidence not a kicking, a lot of posters slagging him off probably werent even at the game last night and only saw what sky wanted to show them. Get behind all the team at least until the end of the season and stop whining.

if he had scored 6 tries, kicked all the goals and took Fekas silly hat off and danced round it likes birds on a dancefloor, the fools on here would still say

well he should had 7 tries
should really be kicking with his weaker foot
he should not pick on the big fat lad

Penny will always get stick on here

In the cold light of day on reflection, maybe I was a little hard on Kevin Penny. We are all entitled to our opinions on here. Whilst I along with the rest of the Warrington fans embraced him when he burst onto the scene but now feel he has lost the cutting edge that had. This can't be laid at the door of posters on here, we never droped him or farmed him out to Widnes. I also acknowledge he was playing in a team lacking players due to injury or otherwise. I remember that try he scored against Salford at the HJ and would like to see him get back to those days. Time will tell what the future holds at Warrington for Kevin Penny.

always admire someone who holds his/her hands up when they are wrong
