Quote: The Chair Maker "The game has moved on and the ideal winger isnt a lightening fast 5ft 9inch bloke who weighs in at around 11stone
The modern winger needs to be 6ft 1inch+, 14 stone, able to field high kicks, defend strongly and provide support to the pack in taking the ball up infield.
Pennys physique and pace is more suited to the requirements of a modern day NRL fullback. Weather he could learn the role of fullback is something that we would only find out if he was played there, and given top class coaching. Certainly his pace would be utilised more from the fullback position than from the wing.'"

i agree with this. the problem for penny is that he will never be coached properly to play either winger or full back under lowes. if he went to saints, mick potter might be able to do it but i dont think they would ever want him.
