With the signing of Lineman,what now for Penny?. He is box office ,the only player bar Ratch that has any pace. Matty Russell is another 'conundrum'. Penny and Lineman on the wings looks good ,pace and power,and ability to put bums on seats.

I think Penny would go down a storm in NRL.Real shame a son of Howley is not rated by "Agar the Horrible" and St Tony.

Don't get me wrong I like Penny but his defence is not strong enough IMO. Rhys and lineham on the wings for me anyday. I would say that Penny's days are limited at the club.

Who will be on the left wing.
Russell ?
Evans ?
Ormsby ?
Penny?

Penny's defence is no worse than any other winger in the SL, none can tackle as per Dessie as an example.

On the Hull forum they have been bemoaning Lineham's defensive efforts and that was before he signed for us. Most try's scored on running plays in the corner are scored with the defensive winger stood two or three in and the full back and centre trying to cover the gap.

My first choice next year is Lineham and Penny the rest can wait for injury/lost form or suspension.

Penny looked very strong in defense at the start of the year, I thought.

It's difficult to work out what he's done wrong this year. Granted he doesn't fit the current standard for a SL winger, but that for me is what makes him so entertaining, his ability to do the unexpected.

It's difficult to think Rhys Evans will be a first choice player. He can be brilliantly excellent but he picks up too many injuries to realistically be regarded as a starting winger.

Russell would be my first choice as left winger, although at the minute you can't drop ormsby.

For me Kev would be behind Russell , Ormsby and Rhys next year for the other wingspot , He's one of few players who can put you on the edge of your seat when he gets the ball in expectation that he's gonna do something special. But he's still painfully frail in defence . I dont buy into this putting the blame on his centres all the time .. i dont recall either Atkins or Matt King leaving any other of the wingers they partnered exposed in every game the way they were always accused of doing with Kev ..

In the same way that he went down a storm in the Championship 1 with Swinton? Sorry, but he wouldn't get a game in the NSW Cup.

Feel sorry for Kev a bit as he has done ok on his return and obviously has that X factor pace which our backline misses but as has been said above, he is now behind Ormsby, Lineham, Evans, Joel for next season so I can't see us keeping him on.

There's nothing better than seeing him in full flow down the wing but we have rarely done that for him really since his return and unfortunately, his defence is not good enough.

He has improved no end since his first spell but just not quite enough for me.

Never forget the try at Saints in the cup (despite them targeting him in that game) and the hat-trick in the home league game as well

There's not much room for sentiment in professional sport and whilst I admire Penny's pace, enthusiasm and resilience in having another 'go', all things being equal on the injury front and if Monaghan leaves or vies for a centre spot, I'd have Rhys first pick for the other wing followed by Ormsby before Penny and then Russell

We need A team rugby back to accommodate them

We need A team rugby back before RL goes completely down the pan!

Didn't he sign a contract extension earlier this season?
