| Always difficult to predict at this stage. The one this that is certain is that we will have injuries and someone will step up, maybe even out of position. Its all about taking you chance in much the same way as McCarthy did in 2009.
I hope they all make good progress it will give us some real depth beyond a first choice 17.

| I remember everyone knocking Chris Riley a while back but not now, I myself am guilty of this I used to wish Henry Faifili would get the next plane out, he seemed lazy, but a season later he definatly shone, and look at monas and king who would of thought it. I still hope for Penny imo he has a lot of potential.

| But with regards to who will make it Tyrone needs to spend less time in the garage, it's so bloody obvious something is goin on between Molly and Kev jeeez man.
Cooper has it in buckets, just needs to keep his focus on the field. Mitchell can do it, he just needs to have few good games get some confidence in him and he will be right as rain. Blythe I'm unsure, he really needs to prove it. Some games last year he really soft and not at the races (Wigan Away). Thompson looks good, although we already have enough quality in that area at the moment.

Blythe, Cooper and Penny may as well go work at Woolston tip.'"
Normally I'd just laugh at rubbish like this but I know that you are an ardent supporter of the Academy and watch these players week-in/week-out. Even to the extent of going all the way to Wakefield just to watch the Academy play.
By the way when is Sinfield signing being announced?

| At the risk of being shot down in flames, I still believe that Penny will be a star.

He already is a star, just has a few flaws. Very few players haven't. I think most opposition fans would love him in their squad if they got the chance. Saints forum recently had a thread on the very subject. He can do things no other winger in SL can do. I would love to see him consolidate a first team wing position by the end of this season. He can do it.

| Regarding both Penny and Cooper, I would much rather trust Tony Smith's judgement than yours.

I'd rather trust Ray Charles judgement than Latchford's...

| I also think Penny is worth patience because he's a one off, you hardly ever see any lad who can run that fast and be as well balanced on his feet at full speed. When we look at those Aussies, Hayne, Folau, Inglis, Slater and so on, we always marvel at how they are incredible athletes and how we have nobody like that, Penny is part way there, he might be miles behind them as an overall player but he does have their speed and athleticism and possibly the hands as well. OK he's never going to be built like Inglis or Folau but he could be built like Matty Bowen for instance.
The problem with a lot of our fans is whenever someone emerges who has speed, they want him in the team and they say "who cares if he can't tackle, Offiah couldn't tackle" (which is bull, I don't remember teams kicking to Offiah or targeting him) but then when he does play and makes a few mistakes they say he's quick but he's never an RL player. For years we have had young wingers at Wire who were never more than average, some were popular because of their effort but you could tell straight away they were never going to be a threat, Penny is always going to be a threat.
Remember how people wanted Nicky Royle in the team, Royle would have got butchered if he'd been a long term SL winger, he was never as good as Penny.
