Two things that did annoy me was his attempt at converting that scoring chance from the cross-field kick; why the hell did he dive at it feet first? Tends to suggest a lack of bravery.

And the tackle attempt at Gardner when he should him smashed him into touch was also rather pitiful.

Can we have a petitition or shall we have to put up with a facebook group cockers stylee?

FFS..!

I think he dove at it feet first in at attempt to trap it. It would have been an almost impossible catch, as he would have had to take it whilst diving. It almost came off.

As for the tackle on Gardner, I think Credit goes to Gardner tbh, as he got so low, it became very difficult to get a big hit in. Gardner should have scored, and he did. It would have been a wonder play to keep him out there.

I've just watched the tries again, and Penny was at fault for 1 of them for me, the 2nd try. He came in as Flannery (I think) was offloading, and then realised he should have stayed out. This is the one where Gardner went low and scored.

As for the one where he got dragged off, he pulled off a very good tackle on Gardner, there was just no other Wire players alert enough to take Gidley.

He's not a rugby league player.

He doesn't have finesse, he doesn't have the skill or rugby league ability.

He has an abundance of pace, that doesn't make him a rugby league player, far from it.

He might improve with correct coaching, but in my opinion, he needs a lot of direct coaching from a decent former/existing player, to bring his game on.

i agree give the lad a chance BUT i would make the following points

he has the pace to skin the best he did it last year so create an opening for him

i worry he does not seem to like the physical side of the game most players in rugby would come in hard on a winger going over for a try he does not seem to have that in him is he a naturally aggressive lad?

Penny has the potential, but hasn't developed yet.

I'm not 100% sure whether he'll need to learn those skills on or off the Super League field.....

Comparing him with Riley;

Penny - Has the potential, but isn't ready yet
Riley - Has less potential, but is ready now

I believe Penny is the future, Riley is the now

I just don't think Penny and King work well together, you can't blame just one player for our weakness on that side.

Are you a poet ?

How many rugby league players would have attempted to 'trap it'. It wasn't the action of a rugby league player whose instinct would always be to get their hands to it.

well god knows how long riley's been playing the game, but conside the fact this is his 5th season involved in the first team. In the grand scheme of things i get the impression that penny's probably where riley was back in 05.

Giants had a player just like that. Paul White!

Penny is a liability in defence! His positioning is poor, his kick return his poor, his tackling... well lets not go there.

He constantly over runs his centre.

King drew 2 men in last night and all Penny had to do was catch the ball and he was in but he overran it and dropped it!

How much longer is he going to get away with it?

People keep saying give him a chance, but he's had 2 years now to sort it out and he hasn't

The lad might have a career in the lower leagues but he is not a "Top 5" Super League club and he should be offloaded as soon as possibe

The lad has pace but for every try he scores he will cost the team 4
