Give Penny the ball in an attacking position. Isn't the idea for the half backs, centres to create opening and then give a sensible pass to the speedy winger. It is so long since Penny was given that opportunity. Instead WE play to his weaknesses - he isnt a prop to carry the ball like Morley, his defence leaves questions (but name me a current wire who hasnt let himself down with his defence this season). I am told Brian Bevans defence wasnt great but who is bothered about that if you can score the odd 600 tries a Wire career.

Another option - massive down field kick from scrum. What a good idea...IF circumstances permit e.g. Is Penny aware kicker is going to do it, is Penny in best position to run after ball. When it was tried today it didnt feel like it was excuted well.

Thought King had his best game for Wire (especially defence) this season -like a father figure to Penny, but could he please pass to Mr Speedy!!!

I feel sorry for guys like Woody and Rah who make breaks and look to offload because generally people dont back up and then the ball goes to ground and these players look poorer than they are. Saints would love their offloads!

As a team still too many one on one silly mistakes like Westwoods needless penalty, bridge knock ons, clarkes pointless 6th tackle kicking. Just re seen tries for first time and Johnson and Hicks at fault for a couple, Rah for the last.

Great kick from Rah but why should a prop be kicking on last tackle.

Dont think Mona (Did anyone ask him if he prefered hooker role before he signed?)or Clarke - are interested? For a couple of weeks of the Lowes era, whoops Lowes error, Clarke ran like Cunningham directing operations but now not much. Kids seem to have good attitude but lacking in the full range of skills, naive etc, whereas the experienced are maybe over the top with some bad attitudes.

I am told that of the 13 matches Briers has missed over the years, Wire lost 12. Annoys us when he is there yet ultimately cant live without him...for now.

In all my years of watching Wire I have never been as non plussed about wire overall matchday performances.

I learnt that this is going to be a long season with many more defeats of this kind.
Hopefully we will sort it out soon, but how soon, who knows?

I agree. It might be grim now, but I'm sure Smith can turn us around. Even if this season ends up being a horror show.

i learnt sitting in the north stand is not as good as standing in south stand

Thank God for that and about time too. It wasn't really rocket science was it, just someone who knew what they were doing.

It was nice to learn that my daughter has now started to sing on key.
