As many have already pointed out, Penny will rarely receive the ball in areas where he can utilise his primary (only?) asset.

Are you having a laugh?

Can't see him being any worse than Blanch.
Defensively, at least he'll have the pace to chase across and back. One on one, close in, he can't be any worse.
In attack I'm sure he'll create more with the same amount of ball that Blanch has got this year.

No worse than Morton.

When he gets slagged off, which winger are we comparing him to?


CAn you imagine how bad Meli or Gardner would look in the current Wakefield side?

Look at Quins form when he played for them compared to before he came and after he left, ask Quins fans if they'd have him in their side, ask most Wire fans if they'd give him another chance, ask any Wire fan who they think is the most exciting player to have played for Wire in the last few years.

KP will do well and he's better than Gleeson, Blanch and Johnson

Agree completely, we simply don't use them. We had just about the 2 fastest wingers in the league and you could count on 1 hand the times we kicked early on the count or kicked from a scrum....

We wont use them (and we never have) and they will be too exposed defending on our flanks so we some big boys out there. Thats why Danny Kirkmond didn't look out of place.

I don't doubt that given the service he will put plenty of scoring chances away, as you say his previous speaks for itself. He is as quick as anything you could ever wish to see, and his early form for you boys was good enough to push him into the reckoning for GB in my opinion.

The 2 (3 at a push) problems I have with this is that if his previous coaches have failed to coach the rawness/weakeness out of his game, what chance Kear and Broadbent? Secondly, I would question his temprement and possibly attitude - looks on the face of things he is not the nicest of lads (see Latu incident) and I personally dont "like him" as a "bloke" if you see what I mean.

3rdly and mainly we have no chance of giving him the service he requires. He will be left high and dry several times and he wont have the tries 'for' to balance it out because histroy tells us he wont get ball in good position, our quick men never have.

like Blanch but with pace real pace im happy

now show Blanch the door one of the worst defensive wingers i have ever seen

He is OK going froward, but his defence is woefull, he is going to have to defend the like's of Atkins, Richards and Hall, he couldn't tackle a Donner Kebab, if he was any good Warrington would not be releasing him, T.Smith is nobody's fool a poor signing if the rumours are true....

Yeah. Look at the last muppet we picked up from Warrington. Sid Domic.

i thought was PJ ?

He's not a muppet.

26 tries in 39 super league games. The majority of them superb finishes in a woeful warrington side coached by cullen or lowes. He was on a big contract and that's probably the reason smith wants rid. He is more than likely taking a large pay cut to play first team rugby and further his career, hardly an attribute of a horrible person. I know he has history with wakefield such as the leo-latu incident and the skipping to the line whilst running in an interception, but forget all that and give the lad a chance. Trust me, the lad is a quality winger and the constant moaning about his defence is unjustified. Did you see Riley's attempted tackle for Hull's first try last week? Penny does that and the imbecile element of wire fans have a field day.
