What else do you want me to say, the reason Penny isn't in the team is because he's =redDo not bypass swear filters.

Simple really.

Maybe Smith really doesn't rate him. He stuck up for Riley despite his errors yet even now it's not Lowes picking the team no Penny.

Or maybe he thinks he should not bring him into a team with rock bottom confidence.

I'd take Penny over King any day. He may be no better but at least he plays with heart.

Loan Penny out to a NL1 team he aint got the basic understandings yet he only been playing RL for a short amount of time and needs nurturing not throwing in the deep end to lose all confidence altogether

Thats a really sensible suggestion, i also agree about him lacking a basic understanding of the game as ive said in the past that he just looks like a kid with pace to burn thats been thrown onto a rugby pitch.

In my opinion you can only coach a person so much, a player needs to posess a certain amount of natural ability especially at the top level of any sport to enable that person to progress and kick on.

Loan him to Widnes as Cullen knows his game.

penny is not are best player by a long way but he should be playing its obviously not working as it is so change it bring penny back and see what happens we miss his pace on the wing

I'm not fishing here but didnt our Ben Cockayne who's not the quickest in our squad absolutely muller him in a 90yrd race down pitch?? I dont know if Penny had an injury or just didnt want to chase back in a friendly but he looked like he was running in sloppy mud while Cockayne seemed to just fly!??

As for King still taking some flak maybe your staff are just not playing the correct way for him to make his mark, go back to his NRL days and they used his size, strength and ability to their advantage, give Matt a game plan that suits him and you'll get a great player.

No. Penny made a tackle on whoever passed to Cockayne.

Cockayne was being chased down by Penny but Penny couldnt keep up, remember it very well indeed because I was waiting for Penny to just open his legs and catch him but fail to make the tackle because he's unable to!!! Penny got to half way and just stopped.

You are talking utter claptrap, as much as i dislike Penny i think you will find that Penny tackled the winger round his legs, unfortunately the winger passed the ball to Cockayne and that was it.

Briers ran from the other side of the pitch to try and catch him but failed.

I see Mitchel has took the knock after the Harlequins game. he must be on Rotation with Blythe. Having seen the clips on Boots n all Mitchel looked like a contestant on its a knock out with some of his tackling. He has all the heart in the world and I am sure he will make a great player but he shows just how much difference there is between the reserves and SL Level. His time will come i am sure.

Briers - I would give a week off not because of all the other stuff that surrounds him but because his kicking (Which IMHO was the only thing keeping him in the team) has been just as poor as the others.

Correct.

I'm afraid my recollection of the Cockayne try is the same as the Hull KR supporter has described.

Might be wrong but I can distinctly remember being shocked at Penny being unable to catch him and there then followed a discussion about whether he'd spent the winter on the weights to the detriment of his pace.

Before I get accused of being another Penny critic, I'd have him in the team every week.

Brilliant that Mark.



At the next Q&A forum thingy, we need to have a competition to see how many times we can get escape goat aired.

what the feck are the basic understandings he hasnt got......???
you make it sound like he cant play the feckin ball or doesn't know there are six tackles.....!!!!

and obviously in National League one no one else has any understanding of the game either........


If you haven't got the basic understandings of Rugby League you'll get found out in the national leagues.......in fact you'll get found out in the amateur game

Rob Worrincy was targeted all game by Widnes last night because apparently he's a weak link ...... see even Widnes can pick up on stuff like that (pity Widnes didn't actually take any notice of the yards he returned every time they kicked to him.) he actually should have been man of the match

As Phil Clarke Said lat night when it was clear worrincy was being targeted...." the Wingers position is the most exposed position on the pitch these days" ....

play Penny in the first team or put him up for sale just stop dicking around with the lad....
