As alluded to above by several more realistic posters, comparing Penny to mssrs Robinson and Offiah is not only ridiculous
but disrespectful to two of the games greats.

Robinson was one of his generations greatest rugby players, who was equally at home not only on the wing, but at full back, centre or scrum half.

Offiah was unique. I don't think that I have ever seen a player more hungry for the ball in order to score a try. His reading of the game was exceptional, and this coupled with his speed meant he was as likely to finish off a move in the right hand corner as he was on his own left wing.

Comparing Penny to these two greats is simply pathetic.

If were going to have someone on the wing that is 'defensively weak', he may as well be the fastest player in the league.

Simple sign the best defensive centre in the league, stick him inside Penny (not in the prison sense of the word) which unfortunately is Carl Ablett and bob's your uncle.

Slight problem with that theory is that Ablett couldn't time a pass to his winger (or anyone else for that matter) even if we fitted the ball with an alarm clock. If he's a centre I'm the Duchy of Cornwall.

As a Swinton fan I personally will be sad to see Kevin leave Swinton since he has been with us now couple of seasons and is one of the most committed players I have seen in a number of years, his desire to play for his team is there week in week out and shown on a few occasions this season when he has made try saving tackles running distances to do so.

As for his frailty on the high ball....well for me he is a safe pair of hands often out jumping his opponent.

I accept intensity in SL may be greater but to suggest as one poster has on here that a player from the lower divisions shouldn't be looked at is ridiculous.

In tonight's MEN it is reported Kevin may be on his way back and if true I wish him all the very best and good luck.

It would be nice if Warrington paid us a transfer fee by the way.!!

Not convinced on the merits of Penny's return but glad to see the myth abut him being suspect under a high ball scotched again. Penny may have flaws in his game but safety under a high ball was never, ever one of them.
