| I think it'll be a big mistake if we let him actually go. It would be better for him I reckon, but he's an amazing player that can and has scored some outstanding tries. I'd rather be watching him than Hicks, and Hicks is a great player.

| Iv'e said this before, Kevin has a lot of potential and was thrown in at the deepend when we had players out with injuries, he will become a good player given time and a chance!

| I would love him at Quins. We don't have the stars that you have at Wire so he would stand out and be a big favourite. We are so short of firepower that we would forgive the occasional brain fart in return for the many tries im sure he will get.
Come on Kev make a new start where you will be appreciated.

| Piss off Snoopy, most of us would rather he stayed exactly where he is.

| Every time the discussion about Kev Penny comes up the issue of his defence is raised - I bet these same people would have been criticising Brian Bevan or Martin Offiah for being a bit weak in the tackle. What is a winger for FFS? How many players in SL, never mind at Warrington, make you stand up with anticipation when the ball gets into their hands with half a gap, no a quarter gap, in front of them? Chris Riley has done fantastically well this season, but does your heart pause when he gets the ball? Do you stretch up half an inch in height in the South Stand when Matt King has the ball to see him do something that will take your breath away? No. And yet rugby fans all over the country anticipate something when Kev Penny has the ball - not always does he deliver but when he does it is something to tell the grandchildren "I was there" - when he scored at Saints, when he skinned Gidley, Gardener & Wellens at Knowsley Road, the time he left Ashton on the floor at the HJ, goose-stepping away from Paul Reilly, the list goes on.
Kev Penny is an exceptional talent, he puts bums on seats, he excites people. And people would have him out of the club because he's a bit suspect in the tackle. Martin Offiah went hiding when the opposition had the ball & 500 tries says he wasn't a bad winger...

the full length kick and chase against Salford, not sure who it was but he had a 15 start and Penny still beat him

| for me Penny is a more complete player than Riley and i would rather pay to watch him than the Ginger any day.
Riley makes many more mistakes than Penny but for some reason the south standers love Riley?

| I might be in a minority here, but I actually think Kevin Penny has a future at this club.
He is a genuine excitement machine, and there aren't too many of them around in British Rugby League at the moment. If there's no room in the modern game for a player like KP then so be it, but as a spectacle RL will be all the worse for it.
