Would he balls.

These days wingers are bomb-diffusers and little else. Few remember who scored 25 tries in a season, but if they ever knocked on a high kick or missed a tackle they're pilloried. It's a shame.

Bevan was rejected by Leeds before playing for Warrington.

Perhaps the level of Widnes and Quinns is his level, we though aspire to be at the top level which isn't a level that Penny can play at !
If TS deems him surplus to requirements his judgement is far better than anyone elses on this forum

So why does he keep playing Chris Bridge at centre then Padders?

don't know you have a valid point there, I have never been a fan of Bridge he has always under achieved IMO no matter what position he plays in , to get picked for England in front of Atkins and Gleeson is barmy and doesn't make sense , Bridge never fills me with confidence, his distribution is poor his tackling is poor King and Atkins should be our centres and Riley and Hicks Wingers would also be interesting to see if Mathers could play centre the way he is playing at the moment I would like to see him stay if possible !
Penny is a lost cause and with the signing of Williams he will never get a sniff in our 1st team unless we have a massive injury crisis with wingers !he will be gone at the end of the season if not before !

This is more accurate.

Bridge has been brilliant this year

Bridge is quality.
Padders either says these things because he he knows it winds folk up, is blind, dumb, or a combination of all the above.

So that is Smith and McNamara who don't share your views? Do you ever get the feeling you are at the wrong end of the spectrum?

King and Atkins are both better centres so is Gleeson, Senior,Shenton,Yeaman etc So no I wouldn't pick him for England and no he wouldn't be my first choice Centre for us, in your oppinion who is he better than in SL as a whole as a centre ?
At the end of the day my opinion doesn't pick the team TS does so it is his call , Bridge has done OK up to now but IMO has done nothing outstanding but on previous seasons records he has been a lot better centre is his position but IMO he isn't one of the top 2 centres at our club ! Oh whilst I am at it he couldn't kick the skin off a rice pudding he shouldn't be goal kicker IMO

This the same McNamara that's leading the Bulls into mediocrity ! Hardly the best coach to use as an example and if you read the original post it was Paul Youanne who brought up Smiths apparent poor judgement on Bridge I just Agree with Youannes views !

I'm a Bridge fan but not sure centre is his best position (I know he likes it best). I liked him at No6 but if he could bulk up, keep decent pace, work on tackling he could be a superb old-style LF (not a new style extra battering ram/tackle machine).
