12 starting appearances this season though.......
its like a gradual retirement plan that some companies do, isnt it...?

Whats so funnny.

Colin Best.......

No i didn,t! i insuated no such thing. quoting myself 'Let him go! and IF we got money for him

' where is the insinuation? .If you need it explaining - I am happy to let paul johnson go and if Wigan wanted him this season and had to buy out the rest of his contract then that's a bonus.

The reason Ryan Giggs career has been prolonged is because United have managed his hamstring injury well, over the years especially since Nani and Evre arrived Giggs has been starting on the bench more and more just like in the 2008 Champions league final where he only came on as a sub at the end with just a few minutes remaining.

More often than not Ronaldo and Park usually start wide left and wide right and they switch round during the game, Rooney has also been playing wide left where United have seen some of his best form.

United have always had a massive squad thats full of quality so they can afford to rest Giggs or any other player as they always have cover, can we do the same with Lee Briers by simply resting him on a regular basis when he isn`t even injured to protect his hamstring ?

Can we afford to start Lee Briers on the bench on a regular basis to again give his hamstring a rest ?

Anyway, why do we need Brian Carney who is a RIGHT winger when we have just given Chris Hicks a RIGHT winger a new contract ?

wonder how long wigan can hang onto sam tomkins he wants to play in nrl

Colin Best is a good player, he scored stacks for Hull and since he left Hull he's had a good scoring record in the NRL. Similar standard to Hicks.

Regarding Penny going on loan, not sure what this would do, he's played two seasons in the first team so its not like he needs experience of playing in the first team, surely its better he's here working under the guidance of Tony Smith, if that means being in the reserves for a bit then fair enough. If he goes on loan to Salford or whoever he'll just play in a team which loses most weeks, gets targeted, gets slagged off by fans, and will come back to us in a negative mind frame.

I think they can work with Kev Penny, he does have pace to burn and playing in the reserves in the short term won't do him too much harm. But feel he needs to work with the coaches to improve those areas he lacks in.....every player has areas they can work on.....He's a good lad Kev and derserves the opportunity to continue his development if in the long run that does mean a period out on loan, so be it.....as long as it does develop him....He is too good a prospect to let go altogether.....Still feel he was the scape goat in those early loss's warrington had........

Penny's Warrington career is over ,he isn't good enough to play in SL ,Hence why he doesn't get a game for us now ,we should loan him out until his contract runs out and spend the money saved on a good winger in his place,just because he is from warrington doesn't mean he has a right to play if your not good enough your not good enough and he isn't END OFF !

The last few times I have seen him put through he has been caught so I don't see where your statement of pace to burn comes from !

I'm guessing you've missed all of his tries then?

More inclined to believe he is totally clueless.

Try looking at some of the trys he has scored in SL, people are too quick to right a player off, just because they have a little bad spell, no one would be playing SL at all if we did that with every player

i dont agree with that but if he has not improved by the start of next season then i think it will be time to say goodbye

Are you avin a laugh, he isn't even proven in SL yet

If you don't think Kevin Penny has pace to burn, who in RL do you think has?

Another clueless post.

try against Saints and especially the one against Salford were the salford players must have had about 30ft head start and he blitzed them on the kick chase and scored.
yeah, real slow that lad is

I've never been a particular fan of Kevin Penny but the one thing he does have is the one thing you can't coach, that being speed.

Tony Smith has a good reputation of bringing young players through to the first team at Leeds. I'd like to see him work with Penny for a good 12 months.

Personally I would have liked to see him in the squad for this weekends game against Fev, would have been a chance for him to stake a claim.

Bit of a ridiculous comment, Kevin Penny has many faults with his game, but his pace isn't one of them. The bloke is probably one of the fastest players in the game.

Who do you all see as the youngster with the biggest potential at your club who has played for your first team already?

Blythe looks pretty good.

Chris Hicks

Local talent (If you have any due to all your 'big name signings').

you didnt say LOCAL in your 1st post did you numbnuts

Calm down idiot.

What else would youngster with the most potential usually mean? Most youngster are USUALLY local.



So.......

Who do you think?

IDIOT you come from Hull
