What people have failed to note is that Kevin Penny was very well covered by his opposing winger, Younes Khattabi. The only time Kevin looked like scoring was when he did score .... as a result of a brilliantly executed Lee Briers kick from the scrum base when the Les Catalans back three defenders were up in the first defensive line. I agree with Bald Eagle Stevo that it was superb classical rugby league by Lee Briers. But almost any alert attacking winger would have scored off such a kick. It was served up on a plate to Kevin Penny by Lee Briers.

Look at the rest of the match. Penny did well taking the high kicks when standing deep. But when Warrington was in its attacking formation Khattabi was up in Penny's face. That is why an intimidated Kevin Penny dropped the ball from passes on other occasions.

No sh !t Sherlock.

He is too light at this stage & does seem to get 'hurt' a lot, as Cullen has acknowledged. I could suggest you have a similar spineless winger at Wigan who was in the same mould, a long time after just 10 games. But that would be churlish.

I don't actually think Penny is as quick as some think. The main thing about him is that he's very confident in his own ability and he's prepared to back his pace. I think alot of Wingers would be able to take people on and score tries like he does, but they almost always play it safe and come back inside. In fact, after watching Penny taking that cross field kick and getting reeled in when it looked like he was in, and then watching Riley chasing down a kick that ended up a drop out, I though Riley actually looked margainly quicker than Penny. Penny is quick, but by no means the next Martin Offiah.

I've been something of a critic of Penny, but after watching him bomb them chances in the the first half I was impressed in the way he kept his head up, scored a decent try, and then he looked great under the high ball in the second half.

bear in mind its the first week he's played on the right wing and outside martin gleeson for the first team so the early mistakes (dropped pass from glees) its all down to unfamiliarity, same thing with the kick, he's not been on the end of one of them for us yet, its all new.

Personally, i didn't think he had much right to get up from one of them heavy tackles on the kick return where he ended up hobbling.

You really know bugger all about rugby, don't you!

And why did you change your name? Because you were a sheep and followed everyone else in doing it?

Pennys only been playing RL for 5 minutes and hes already better than Calderwood

It's not difficult.

Calderwood = gash.

HTH.

As you said, the only reason Calderwood isn't quick anymore is because he doesn't want to sprint incase the rest of his hair blows off.

Penny's out and put pace isn't that great, he is very good at timing his bursts and can change pace and direction at a blink of an eye.

I hope thats not how he got injured.....
