We've had this issue all year but when Penny plays. What has Penny done to TS. Penny was filled a void the last couple of weeks and then again gets dropped. TS you stubborn ....

"As can't spake!"
We've been absolutely snotted on the wings tonight.
Yes we've been robbed as did Wakey last night, because Sky wanted to keep the competition alive, but we cannot use that as an excuse.
Russell IS NOT A WINGER! Charnley IS A WINGER. Complete mismatch.

Agree with the winger comment. But disagree we were robbed. We are the architects of our own misfortune again.

Correct, for both posts

whats happened to lineham ?

He's half the issue...
The other half is TS stubbornness over Penny.

Totally agree, he is cutting his nose off to spite his face over penny, Lineham I agree with being dropped. Russel and Evans on the wings is hurting us.

No wingers = No win

Some pitiful defence out wide tonight ....let it sink in that our wingers made Lewis Tierney look good............

good lord we were dreadful.....

I really am miffed why TS cannot reward form.
Penny clearly had the best winger form at the club this season but TS once again drops him.

Arguably, Penny helped to save our bacon at Catalans.

Penny has been very good ever since he returned to the club, his exclusion is baffling. Sorry but i want smith out...the balance of the team is all to cock due to his favourites...and gidley is here to manage games like tonight and he failed miserably.

Wire fans have all been saying we won't win anything with no wingers for months now and we still have no wingers playing.

Evans defensive positioning is woeful and Russell never receives the ball as a winger he only seems to have the ball when he brings it up the middle like a full back does.

Ratchford is not a full back. He is a centre, a stand-off and a bench utility back/hooker before he's a full back. Yet where is he every week?

We are severely undersized at prop. Once Hill and Sims are not there we have absolutely no size because Cox and Bailey are hardly ever there. Not one of our props has any pace.

That is not a recipe to win trophies. And that fact we're in with a shout is a bit damning on the rest of the teams in this country.

Not really bothered about Lineham to be honest. It's the exclusion of Penny which is baffling, frustrating and annoying us all. But even then I'd bet Lineham would have powered over the line where Evans failed late on.

Really es me off when you see Evans do that little sprint out of the line about 30 seconds too late and the winger walks into the space Evans should have been occupying.

Terrible, terrible decision-making but entirely in line with what you'd expect from a centre playing out of position.

I would do anything to see Chris Riley or Rhys Williams in there - at least they understand their job. A fit Lineham or Penny even better.

Apparently theres been an argument over his weight, not sure what but seems like we're looking to offload him. Very strange considering we're on the lookout for a winger. Tried to sign Akuila uate but he said no thanks so we're looking for someone when we have penny........very strange.

So TS apparently thinks Penny is too overweight for selection!?
As I see it, weight shouldn't be an issue rather his body mass index fat v muscle ratio.
Muscle mass is undoubtedly heavier than fat.
But let's be honest, on the face of it, it's a story that sounds like bolloxs.

Muscle mass is undoubtedly heavier than fat.?

There's two things you can do, you can troll through Google as usual and pull up all you want on it and waste plenty more minutes of your life... Or if I'm wrong just say so. I'm happy to take your word on it.

Doesn't take much to wind you up

I can tell you, I honestly don't give a care.

Behave yourself.

I spoke to KP on Friday morning before the Wigan match.

I asked him what he had done to TS. He just shrugged and said he had no idea.

He seemed totally demoralized and lost.

Seems to me, from his career point of view, the sooner he gets away from Wire, and TS in particular
the better.

Tragic !!

That's where I've been going wrong all these years. If I want to loose weight I should have been geting rid of any muscle and piling on the fat. All that bloody gym money wasted.

Don't wind the Rubber Dickie up. He will only sulk

I would love to know just what Penny has supposed to have done. Whilst none of us has any illusions that he is a world beating winger, the lad has pace, desire, enthusiasm and most importantly, a real love of playing for the Wire (although God know why with how Smith treats him!)

I've heard he's off to Leigh at the end of the season, which would be a crying shame.
