Raynor outplayed him with ball in hand. He never really got a look in.

Was closed down well when he returned kicks also. Didnt think that much to him at all, didnt look anything but average. However, I think this must have just been a bad game for him, its not like players play good games every match

or could it be that now the cat is out of the bag, he will get far less space than he's hgad in the last few weeks. Talent he's got, but greatness, he'll have to earn.

The thing I noticed if we are talking a head to head against Raynor was how much extra work Raynor went looking for. I cant really remember Penny looking to run from dummy half in the centre of the field..

I wouldn't want a winger as young/light as Penny taking many hits down the middle.

He did more than you're giving him credit for. He took high shots/digs early on in the game from you thugs . And with your players marking him it with giving other players the chance to break.

thugs??

14 penalties and a sending off from wire suggest the opposite!!

All around the chest the tackles he took because if people like kingy and carvell go head hunting against people as slight as him he wouldnt have been getting up!

I'll ignore the first part, as you are simply a sore loser with primrose and blue blinkers on.

He was marked, yes. He has developed a small reputation as being a player that, given space, will exploit it. We did what a good rugby team does and didn't give him space. Wire didn't make many breaks all game.
