Mainly by being "hung out to dry" by whoever was his centre, that day.
Admittedly, his defence wasn't great at times, but he SHOULD have had better cover inside him, rather than his centre/second row being next to the posts. What else was Penny to do, stand on his wing and shout "well I'm in postion....where the hell are you"

Really? I'll stick with Joel Monaghan.

As good as Joel is. I don't think he'd stand a chance at finishing some the tries Penny has scored.

how many exactly did he score?

Jimmy Lowes ruined him. He looked for a scapegoat to cover up his own inadequicies.
all he needed was a decent defensive coach. He was very similar to Martin Offiah.

Good luck to the lad, wherever he goes.

He was nothing like Martin offiah.

Yes you're right, he isn't an arrogant illiterate twunt.

Maybe at plastering but not a rugby player !
Well not at SL level !

You know i bet kev penny is kicking himself when he sees the likes of Ade Gardner and Francis Meli strutting their stuff week in and week out at saints,and just who have wakey got in abbundance that theres no place for penny,
it beggers belive.

You can't beat Warrington "fans" at times (more's the pity)

Lefty My Mate save your breath. I still have this I had to use a couple of seasons ago to explain to our lesser informed individuals that when your flies out of the defensive line and leaves a rather large gap (indicate by big red bus) between himself and his winger. the winger is left with two options
a) come in and tackle the opposition centre
or
b) stand on the wing and point accusingly at his own team mate and say he was your man

3 wire defenders in tackling Flannery....how times have changed unfortunately for Penny too late....

for those that cant remember flannery offloaded from that 4 man tackle, passed to Gidley, Penny tackled Gidley, who passed to Gardner who scored ,

James Lowes then ruined Pennys Career in a scandalous substitution for Which I would Like Lowes to contract an anal infection that stings lots....

Problem was he only started playing rugby when he was around 17 didn't he?

How old was he when he was playing for Warrington, 19..... becoming a competent defender in a couple of years is a tough ask, was put into the Wire team too early.

How dare you use such common sense in an arguement, Biscuit.

I mean, you've even provided evidence to back it up, yet still, some on here will still blame Kevin Penny for
a) our defeat that night
b) previous defeats
c) the value of the pound
d) UK's poor performance in previous Eurovision Song Contests.

Still, good old Wire fans, have to have a scapegoat, don't they!
