So where would be a good place for him?
It occurred to me that we two English wingers in Penny and Ainscough with heaps of ability and potential who need to be getting better coaching than they have had already. We have few enough promising backs in this country without allowing those with a bit of potential to drift.

Is it necessarily down to coaching though? I'd have thought two cashed up clubs like Wigan and Wire would be likely to have good solid coaching infrastructures. Certainly the pies have had no trouble bringing in Tomkins and continue to churn out solid Super League players.
Could it not be that Penny and Ainscough, despite having clear ability in some areas of the game, simply aren't any good at other areas of it?

![Confused icon_confused.gif](images/smilies//icon_confused.gif) Who
I would not say that anyone at Warrington is a great centre that provides quality ball to their winger on a regular basis.

When he was getting slated, he had King at his very worst inside him.

Gidley is a world class centre. If he was English he'd be striaght in! That's the difference. The others weren't centres and King is a damn good finisher but can't set anything up like Gidley does! Penny would be very dangerous off the back of Gidley's skills!

But not players that are going to give you quality ball like a Senior, Lyon or Gidley. I like Mat King but he more a try scoring centre than a try creating centre.
You seem to be out numbered on this one si ![Wink icon_wink.gif](images/smilies//icon_wink.gif)

So you choose to ignore the World Class Tries he scored against you on your own patch goosing gidley Wellens and Gardner for one try then the length of the field for another try. Then the simple Hatrick he scored against you at our place..........not forgetting the Tries he scored againt Leeds which awhere again a bit special.......and all for a knock on........and nobody knocks on these days do they..
admittedly it turned the game your way but seeing as we havent beaten you for years and years and years its hardly a Historical moment is it....
playing penny outside Gidley would be a no brainer unfortunately we had him outside No defensive brain Matt King.
either way Penny is an Asset and very good to watch if you want Value for your £15 quid or whatever it is he gives it like no other player in my opinion....
I am very dissapointed he hasnt got a starting wingers squad number...Hicks And Riley dont get the juices flowing do they.

| I was aways concerned when I saw an interview where he was chatting about his debut against Leeds. He stated that Paul Cullen said something along the lines of 'he phoned me up the day before to say I was playing, he just told me to chase as hard as I could'. That IMO is why we fail internationally...
