Derek think of Ferris, Kent, Leaf, McCurrie, Fleary, Mars, Feunati,Jones, Cooper,Smyth, any players would improve on them, even Penny. |

People should remember that the situation was very different in 2005 , and also not forget how many players we ended up using due to injuries

2015 - major missed opportunity, 2016 - stronger teams = harder task (no problem there then), 2017 - OMG What now!!!:953.jpg |

| I realise that the system was very different then with recruitment virtually impossible till after the GF. Wasn't having a pop Ste. Was just pointing out that IMO Kevin Penny is not a player we should be signing on the grounds that I don't rate him  |

Agreed, Penny is a useless wet lettuce & shouldn't be anywhere near this squad unless our ambition is Championship RL in 2018.

I'll disagree on the Kevin Penny front, just for argument's sake. I reckon he'd do well at Leigh, FWIW.

Because he's a petulant, ill-disciplined player who'd only be doing it for the money?

Referees are like women, they make snap decisions and never reverse them.
[b]Littlerich wrote[/b] Widnes will be glad to get away from Leigh. They've been regularly pumped, roasted and left in the alley-way by the lobbygobblers. Talk about being bitched - what a torrid time they've had. They'll be looking for some A&E rest time for the next three years at least.:simpsons/PDT13.gif |

Ah right, we had digressed over to Kevin Penny for a moment, thought the comment was about him. |

| Quote: THECherry&Whites "........because he is an even bigger light weight in defence than Gregg McNally. We need SL quality backs next year and the main reason Ashton went to RU was the fact he was getting found out in defence. Probably the reason that Northampton played him on the wing in RU.'"
I thought Ashton went to RU for more money??
Either way he was playing well for Wigan before the move and I think would still be a good signing. I would guess he's had less collisions than an RL winger/centre so should be fresher for his age
It would also generate a lot of national publicity |

It is a common saying that there is no such thing as bad publicity, in this case it is bollix. |
