Penny wont leave warrington until his contract ends. Cullen gave him such a good deal that no other club worth their salt would now dream of matching it.

Same with Jon Clarke.

.... when he was the hottest property in Superleague and other clubs were circling. Had he been allowed to leave at that point, there would have been meltdown amongst supporters such was the astonishing start he made to his career which culminated with a call into the GB train on squad.

penny cant get into the team as the other wingers are playing so well not his fault just hasto wait for the chance then take it

i think if he sat down and studied the rule book he may have a better understanding of the game
don't forget he came into the sport very late and i just don't think he knows what he is doing

Thing that disappoints me a bit is that putting his ability to one side for a second, as we've all got differing opinions on them, I think he's easily SL standard others don't, okay. What we'd all probably agree on is that he has so much enthusiasm for the game, he's so desperate to play & do well that sort of, I'd just like to see him do just that now - if that's for us, Widnes, Harlequins, Crusaders, Leigh, well, I couldn't really give a monkeys anymore.

Maybe we've hit the point whereby Kev & Warrington aren't the perfect fit anymore, but he would be for somebody and I'd like to see him express himself. You look at say Crusaders, them Welsh fans won't have seen anyone like him, he'd get a few Welsh bums onto & then off their seats.

nah like penny at warrington think if he doesn't get in the team loan himout great future just needs to work more on his defensive side. scary visions if we let him go and he become the best winger in sl for another club

Penny suffers from a combination of the position he plays in and also the fantastic start he had to his career.

The problem with being a winger is that, for the most part, if you aren't scoring tries and scaring defences everytime you have the ball, then it can appear you are a pretty average player, because to the average spectator that is what being a winger is all about.... Unfortunately for Penny, at the start of his career he did the crowd pleasing stuff very, very well and people expected that EVERY time he played.

Remember back to Paul Sculthorpe & Iestyn Harris in their early days at Wire??... I would say that both were steady rather than sensational and yet fans appreciated them and they developed into fine players. I'd offer the opinion that Chris Riley has been going down the Scully/Harris route. He certainly doesn't offer the Penny-like excitement in the crowd when he receives the ball and yet for most people, he is a valued member of the side nowadays.

Hopefully, Kevin Penny is appreciating this chance to learn his game under Smith & co, and when he does get a chance let's hope he can show his worth to the team and also that the crowd can not be too overly expectant of him.

Great minds must think alike !

Great [sic]!

The boy can score tries that no other player in SL can score. Unfortunately other aspects of his game seem to need working working on. Maybe TS is just ironing them out before unleashing him.

Correct, we would have him back in a heartbeat, played extremely well for us did Kevin and, although I understand why he's not in your first team, he's got alot to offer on a rugby field.

I think when given his chance,he will prove a lot f his doubters wrong.

I hope he does get this chance, i'm not convinced he will, but I live in hope.

I guess he's got to get a volume of tries for the 20's that promotes his chances, and he needs to do whatever the coaching staff need to see.

He's 2 in 1 this season so far, if he carries that on, he'll be knocking on Che's door.

He did well @ Widnes last season, maybe his level in the championship not Super League?

He's done well for us too.

Lots of his tries come against the best sides too, scored scored a fair few against Saints [inc a hat-trick], tries against Leeds, Wigan etc so it's not like he just does well when we're on top, but he has got hat-tricks that I can recall against Wakefield & Salford.

I'm being serious here, maybe somebody [I'm not there] could ask Smith at that Q&A thing later what exactly what it is that he's looking for Penny to improve before he'll fetaure in SL, as in, what is he lacking. He might give us an insight ?
