Here is an interesting question; Will Penny count as 'club trained' for us, even though he left and was then re-signed ?

interesting question? I dunno, would it make any difference too?

I don't see why he wouldn't be counted as cub trained.

Anyone else catching a smell of a former poster on here lately? Possibly back under a new guise?

or scout trained

I think your smelling Cullens Pants

there was.......

because they said we had a guy in the reserves who had an all round better game than penny was maybe even faster and had played the game longer...........unfortunately he's bobbins...

we shouldnt sign Penny, his time has been and gone, he would get no support from the fans at all and it would make Tony Smith look like dick...........

Rubbish

Totally agree.We surely can't be that desperate to sign a player who hasn't cut the mustard the 1st time around and cannot see Mr Smith risking his credibility and reputation.This would not go down well with the majority of fans that is for sure and wouldn't exactly increase season ticket sales.

Seems such an odd decision to bring him back.

Odd, but maybe Smith is making a knee jerk decision to our obvious lack of pace. People talk about how annoying the charge downs are, what's even more annoying is we probably wouldn't convert if we pulled it off anyway, unless it was Atkins picking it up.

Well, think about it, we're 4 years on, he's possibly served his apprenticeship now, got 4 year more experience, if he's still got his speed, or some of it, perhaps we think he's worth giving another chance, we've picked two other lower league players up.


Most importantly, he won't be on a HUGE wedge anymore which is something that was hanging around his neck at the time

To be fair I do think since we lost Mathers, King and Hicks weve lost some Real popular and enthusiastic Characters... the only time this season when I ve seen the visible enthusiasm and comraderie of a few years ago was when Moz Scored his try at the Etihad. If he came back he wouldnt get many games lets be fair...he wont oust Monas and he'll be behind Riley but he would probably give the squad a bit of a personality boost......

and hopefully the treacle runner Williams will move on

I used to purposely watch Penny, when he was being criticised for his defense, and on the majority of occassions, he was left in a two on one situation by his centre, which innevitabley lead to a try.
He was one, if not the, fastest players I have ever seen in a Warrington shirt. I would love to see him back, if he has kept that pace.
We really do need someone with a real turn of speed.

This.

With Atkins out, we really do lack pace out wide, and without Myler, we have no pace through the middle either. Warrington lately have been playing like driving over Bridgefoot. Slow as fook and you're never quite sure which lane you should be in.
