Least we are doing something-Salford have had so many plans and talked so much they are like Wakey! There is little chance a Stadium will be built in either Salford or Wakey over the next 2 years despite all the crap they give out

Can we expect an announcement over this very shortly?

Heard last night he's gone.

Get Govin back then!

His best position is 9 and he's good cover at 6.

I also heard that he has gone.

Gone down the shops for a loaf and a pint of semi-skimmed.

Nat... that is awfully lame! ha ha

I don't think anybody wants him to go, but rest assured that if he does, then Matt and Martin will have a suitable replacement lined up.

I wouldn't expect it to be another hooker. Beswick and gleese would take the roles.

good luck to him if he goes, i wont be loosing any sleep a we have plenty of cover in this position,

however a good replacment would be Ben Fisher who isnt getting much game time at HKR i would welcome him back any day over Penky

I agree. Would also mean that we have a solid defender on at hooker all game. No need to look for a replacement. If Penky does go, then I hope we get a fee for him and not just a promise of a friendly.

As I said a few weeks ago, hookers in my opinion should not be doing just 20 minutes then changing. This is all started because of saints and the bulls as they had 2 hookers swapping, newton and cunningham who were not 80 minute players due to their age and weight, so everyone started jumping on this bandwagon.

Gleeson, Penky and Beeswax are all fit athletes and have no problem playing 80 minutes, swapping after 20 just messes things up. It takes a while to get into a game as well and penky was trying to get 80 minutes of play into 40 hence why he looked like he was trying to much.

A good hooker can play 80, Elliss did it and Barrow didnt do to bad.

In a funny way if its true then I expect to be more consistent and dare I say a better "team" as a result, yes penky as an individual will be missed but I thought all the changing during games at hooker affected us.

If Penky has gone, then I think we have enough cover in the hooking role with Gleeson and Beswick

One option could be to bring Govin back as cover for hooker and stand off, but I would much rather the money be spent on a specialist centre - the one area I feel we are still lacking

I would guess penky's wages are relatively high in terms of our squad, so should he go, releasing that amount of money should allow us to bring in a decent level of player (whether that be hooker or elsewhere).

On a seperate note, I wonder if we are due an up and coming Bulls squad player again this year? it does seem that we have started a trend of doing this over the last 2 seasons.

I think Gleeson is your best player anyway, let alone your best hooker.

Different types of players anyway penky and glees, glees more of an organiser, penky more off the cuff, both bring something to the table.
