not for us (yet) and i dont think it be long before he does. Now we out of the CC he can get a regular run and not have to drop out every other game because of being cup tried.



He has done long range trys for Wire, and i think one of them was 90m plus.

There was a couple of occasions in the second half that me and Snoopy wondered why we didnt kick from the base of srum or on first tackle as the Cas FB wasnt in postion but well up in the line of defence and leaving an open field for Penny to run into.

Looked like he might have been about to with one of his runs in the 2nd half yesterday, didn't quite make it in the end.

He could have done it from that run but decided to look for support instead of beating McGoldrick which he would have done easily with the space he had to work with.

I think the word should be should rather than could.

Yes, maybe he's lacking a bit of confidence.

He never lacked any confidence taking on fullbacks at wire.
He made Chris Ashton look a fool once when he could have passed to two or three supporting players

I think it's a little harsh, McGoldrick did well in that he ushered him to take the line another Cas defender was coming in on, once he did that I think it put Penny in two minds, it's possible he could have beat McGoldrick, but all it needed was to slow him down and he'd have been caught. In the end he didn't panic, which is a big positive given how prone we are to doing that at times.

Didn't we score off the next play anyway? I thought he should have scored but it wa a good break out of defence to get us into a scoring position.

Yes, from the same set, so maybe he did the right thing.

It's easy from up in the stand but I would have liked to see him take on the f-b. he did eventually but only after a bit of hesitation that resulted in the winger catching. No complaint from me though.

So then what's the general Quins consensus on Penny ?

A. He's been a breath of fresh air and I believe enjoying playing SL again.

B. If Warrington don't want him, he wants to move darn sarf and the cash to complete a deal is available, He'd more than a welcome addition at The Stoop.

C. Will B happen? We'll have to wait and see.

Seems like his arrival has either given the team a shot in the arm or has at least co-incided with some improved form. We've got him for a 2nd month and if he carries on as he has been I'd really like to see us keep him on. An example of a player loan that works!

He has been the spark that has ignighted our season. The rest of the team know we have a class strike player on the pitch who can turn the game on his own. They know now we can score tries against anyone and are obviously using set plays to get the best out of him. The confidence in the team as a result is there for all to see. If we go behind they know we have players who can get us back into it so they keep keep going instead of giving up. I hope we get to see BJB play at FB with Penny on the wing. That will be something to see!

When does Penny's loan deal expire with you guys?

It is a monthly contract extended by both clubs if wanted by Quins/wire or Penny.

A poster on Totalrl reckons KP has returned to Warrington.

If so, we will be quite depleted again (no Rob, no Golden, no Mills and prob no Ward, BJB or Ellis).

He's gone.

Did Quins not want to keep him? rather he was with you then stuck in U20s

Sorry to see him go.
Thanks Kevin for putting the spark back in our team.

Maybe to feature for 9's. Same weekend as CC final www.floodlit9s.com/teams.php

Rumours are that Penny returned to Wire amid pending rumours that hes going to be transfered to Wakey. If true then thats a big shame as it sure looks like we didnt have the money for him to get transfered here.

Even bigger shame as i understand he liked it down here in London as well as enjoying himself playing for Quins.

I must admit I enjoyed watching Penny playing for the Quins- He had effervescence. His defence against Cas at times was woeful- But there are 2 side to the coin. He asked questions of the opposition thats for sure.

Is Penny Macs type of player?- Mac to me is the grinder both in defence and attack- Im not sure he wants players who dont sing to his tune ie Mclinden etc in that they have the X factor- in Pennys case speed and yellow boots!

Thanks Kev for your contribution it has been good having you on board

I don't think Penny is irreplaceable. I very much enjoyed watching him too, but let's not lose sight of the fact he was only a winger, and a winger does not make a team.

I agree -wings are where injured players go for a rest in an amateur team!!

He added a bit a speed and "just something else" which we haven't had for a year or two

I'll miss Kevin Penny, personally I'd have loved his to stay, but I think realistically we knew that financially it was never going to happen.
