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.

Nice to see that, just like the Murphy's, you're not bitter?!

Am truly amazed that any Fax fan has the cheek to question when another team's stadium will be finished?!?

I can only assume that your criteria for judging McRae as a poor coach is that he doesn't take his players out on drinking benders often enough??

Anf finally, now that Fax are obviously a much bigger, better club than Salford, can us fans have the money back we contributed when your entire club almost went belly-up?

Ours is actually going to be finished though, whereas your stadium is yet to even have a brick placed down!

And it's taken how long?

I can't believe you're seriously going to suggest that Fax fans are in a position to ridicule other clubs about the length of time it take to complete a stadium?!

(unless of course you've been out on the lash with your players of course, in which case you won't be capable of any kind of coherent thought).

penky 2 be apart of the fax squad next season

Why? We have only been waiting on one stand being completed. Two other sides of the ground were completed. And even in it's current state it was still a better ground than the Willows. What part of your new ground has started? Surely it must be that time of year where Salford release a picture of someone from the club wearing a hard had carrying a shovel isn't it?

TBF, mate. How long have your clubs' plans to build a stadium been going ahead - stalling - cancelled - restarting - etc.?

Fair enough, our stadium has been an embarrassment for long enough, but your club has had problems stadia-wise as well as ours and I don't think it fair to say that either clubs' fans are in any position to ridicule anyone else.



If anyone's stadium needs criticising, then my finger would be firmly pointing at Wakefield, (who were supposed to build a new stand/ground back around 1999, not erect portacabins), and Saint Helens crumbling terraces.
