Not liking the Penky hate.
Penky was, and still is in my opinion, one of it not the best hooker in this league by some distance. People thinking that suddenly our backs are going to get tons of ball because he is gone are going to be disappointed. The distribution problem last season was with our halfs and if we go for the same pairing again this season the backs wont see any more ball than they did last season.
I think the thing for me is that over a good number of past seasons we have had out and out match winners play for us. Players like Ben Black and Penky the type that people want to see play for them and suddenly we really dont have any flair players of that type do we? Its no surprise to hear people branding our type of rugby boring and I dont think we will play with any more flair next season. That isnt going to bother me too much as Im going whatever but it is concerning when i hear people who have watched us for years say things like that and they really arnt sure whether they want to watch it or not.
