This expansion stuff is getting out of control

Hummm I doubt Hicks would have got them kicks either as all by one were from the touch line !

You started it

So its better to play a second row forward on the wing then?

I think 'Che' Tony is a decent coach, but IMO he's got it wrong with Penny. Fair enough if Hicks and King were fit he shouldn't have played, but today he deserved a chance.

You honestly think we would have lost by a cricket score if KP had been in the team today?

Think that went over your head a bit there

I'm not bashing Penny here, but deserved his chance based on what?

On recent performances, I think Rhys Williams could get a look in before Penny.

The chance to prove himself after being made a scapegoat at the start of the season. Not seen much of Williams, so maybe you're right there but one of them should have played on the wing instead of Anderson / Bridge.

Who both scored...?

If Penny didn't deserve to be dropped, then he'd be ripping up the reserves league, he isn't.

turns out that smith is not way off dont it?

Hull FC are awful, Smith came up with the tactics to beat them eventually but I think there was an easier way.

But most ppl on this board in the Cullen era said players should be played in their best positions and not out of position.

I'm not saying Penny is the solution but he is a winger so he (or another winger from the reserves) should have been given a chance. - Look at Ainscough at Wigan

Spot on. Agree with 40-20's post about fielding players in their best postions as well.

Hull might be going through a bad spell but give the team credit for battling away instead of just saying how bad the opposition were.

I have, and do. The spirit on show from our players was superb, and the gameplan in the second half was spot on against a stubborn defence.

Well, Smith is a world class coach and if he doesn't think Penny is good enough for SL then that's good enough for me
