| Quote Alonso Jackson="Alonso Jackson"So what's changed?
Penny is a well documented youngster. If Huddersfield had been on the telly as much a few years ago, there would have been similar hype about Paul White and look at him now. In fact I'd say White was showing more 'potential' than Penny at this stage in his career.
Penny might develop into a good player, but no world beater.'"
Oh dear. |

| Quote Mugwump="Mugwump"Neither Royle nor White have the natural attacking attributes of Penny. I don't mean pace. I mean balance, timing and a good body swerve.
That said, the above isn't worth much if he's a colander in defence. The days of teams being able to "carry" a defensive liability (or - the 80s) are long gone. Over the last five years we've seen clubs increasingly pressurise defensively weak players with an array of kicks, plays and running angles.
Let's see what Penny's like when he's got Willie Talau and Francis Meli steaming into him whilst he's looking to take a Sean Long bomb.
If he passes that test (and various others) we may well have a very good prospect on our hands.'"
He plays on the opposite side to Talau and Meli. |

| Quote Mugwump="Mugwump"BTW, I'm still trying to work out how calling for caution can be interpreted as putting a downer on a player.
Surely a bigger downer would be to build a player's confidence up to unfeasible heights and then watch him self-destruct when he can't live up to insane expectations.'"
Correct.
Penny does look like he has got more about him than a lot of other young players who have emerged, he is fast and fearless and has a natural ability to beat people - so the raw talent is there.
Whether or not he goes on to make it depends on a number of factors, eg his own attitude, whether he has weaknesses which will get exploited when other teams start studying video footage of him. He may go on to make it, he may not, but to talk about him as a player in the Offiah mould is crazy because Offiah was a one off. I remember a 17 year old Chev Walker coming into the Leeds team and Ray French saying he was reminiscent of a young Mal Meninga. |

The first 2 were great finishes, he still had work to do when he got the ball to get down the line and stay in.
The final try was fantastic, they had at least 15 metres start on him when he was chasing, he caught up and overtook easily to then hack the ball forward.
Some decent tackling from Penny today, and his positioning for kicks was great.
