Not surprised in the slightest - Lowes has hinted many times he doesn't rate Penny.

Personally, I'm gutted. All this guff being spouted about sending him off to NL1 to improve his game!! He's a far better all round player than he was when he was running in tries for fun in his first few games. The difference since is quite simple - he get's no support in defence and little or no running opportunities with the ball.

I hope all the "supporters" who've slated him are quite happy now. Look at our backline, we've little or no pace as it is, we'll be even less a threat on Saturday. A potential 3/4 line of Hicks, Gleeson, King and Johnson won't exactly have Catalans quivering over their coffee, croissant and vegemite on Saturday morning.

I couldn't agree more.

Exactly what I was going to say...

Good job Catalan are looking to be light in the forwards. Something we might win on the pitch on saturday.

Should be a strong enough squad to win

is lowes trying to turn us into bradford of a few years ago?
the success would be nice but the thought of us trundling it up the middle and just trying to bulldoze teams aside isn't a prospect to relish.
back to more pressing matters,we need to find a space on here for "escape goat",it's the most uplifting picture i've ever seen

If we win the Grand Final, will anybody really mind the 5 kicks and a drive?

as i said the success would be nice but do you want to watch that every week?

Well he was a forward. Maybe that will be where Lowes falls down. At least Cullen had us playing some attractive attacking rugby a la Saints, even if it didn't always come off and we were a bit light defensively. Are we now going to go completely against that and develop a pass/drive/pass/drive mentality?

Kev Penny as quick as he is is not good enough to play for Warrington if we have any ambitions of getting into the top 4.

He has not got the brain to play at the highest level.

Penny should have been dropped but shouldn't have been the only one.

King & Monna's should have been as well but definately not Briers. He is our most influential player and when given the ball enough, can damage any team in SL as he has done for years on end.

Finally someone else that talks sense on this forum!

How can dropping the most creative player we've had for the last 4-5 years be good for the team?

Just been in the gym with Johnson and Reardon. Johnson had to pull out yesterday because of a knock he took to his knee against saints. He said bridge will be starting in his place.
