Wow what a try. Top drawer.

Joel could no longer score like those.

Penny is no weaker in defence than any of our other wingers right now and he has bags of enthusiasm. I would love to see him as a first choice for at least a few games.

Agreed, thought it was very harsh to drop him in the first place. Who misses out if Joel comes back in next week though? I suppose if Bridgey is still out Monas can slot in at centre although he wasn't very effective there early in the season.

I'm not sure. I just know that Penny has genuine appreciation and pride every time he puts on a Wire shirt and we need that and his enthusiasm right now.

Bridge supposed to be havin a hernia op nxt week,and monas apparently out for a few weeks.

His finish today was class, but his all round game is still terrible. Leigh made several clean breaks down his side and he still gives everyone in the ground palpitations when fielding kicks.

I don't know how much you watch Wire but this is a motif we're sporting very heavily this season. It doesn't matter who is on our edge defence; we are frequently getting torn up out wide. Earlier in the season I was very impressed with Penny's defence. I did go out of the country for 2 months following the home game against Leeds, so I don't recall if he played after that.

Bloody love Penny. He is what our team should be about.

It was an absolutely outstanding finish. I agree, I'm not sure Joel would have the agility nowadays to finish that. However his edge defence, along with ormsby's isn't as good as Monas & Evans.

Actually I tend to agree, and i think that's what TS will have seen.
Great in attack but caught out too often - noticed Myler went in a couple of times and Penny stayed in resulting in a walk in try. Also he also seemed to have difficulty catching his opposite number. The fact that they got outside him was not the issue because of the way we were playing - narrow. (Didn't notice the 'fielding kicks' issue, apart from the one in attack)

There's one thing you can't doubt is his real passion for playing for the team.

The problem is the sliding execution of the sliding defence on both edges for wire. It doesn't matter who the winger is. It's been the same all season. The guys on the fridges of the ruck are getting fixed too easily and the edge defenders sliding inwards rather than outwards, so the wingers are getting left with 2 or 3 on 1. Communication needs to improve across the whole defensive line. It's too easy to just blame the winger.
