Not read all of this thread but I feel Penny has been made a scapegoat for King's performance. I would now like to see Johnson in the centre with King on the wing.

I know some people have different views on what the effects of being dropped are, I think Kev will be frustrated not only because he's been dropped, but because King hasn't, too.

I'm not sure how this will effect Kev, he's a confident lad, so I hope this spurs him on to force his way back in. He doesn't seem the type who will dwell on this and feel sorry for himself.

It seemed to work well for him last year, his performances picked up after a spell out of the team.

i can see this being the team

1. riley
2. hicks
3. gleeson
4. bridge
5. king
6. briers
7. monaghan
8. morley
9. higham
10. carvell
11. l.anderson
12. westwood
13. v.anderson

14. johnson
15. wood
16. rauhihi
18. harrison

as chris bridge played left centre for the reserves i think they will try him out there saturday, would be a gud idea, weve tried him in evry other position but i think vinnie anderson should play centre and bridge should play loose forward

i reckon send penny to aussie for a year for some game time in one of the local comps around illawarra or sydney...the standard is close to national league and it won't be so much of a knock to his confidence being farmed out to eg leigh

he's got the raw ingredients to make a top player and i reckon for sure he would come back ready for superleague in a big way, last thing we want to do is waste his potential and i don't think its going anywhere being on fringe of first team/in 21s week in week out...send him to the team leikvoll's playing for he'll come back a star peacock went to team in same league look at him now

Think Jimmy will use Penny more of a back up player this season, if Gleeson was fit on Friday i dont think Penny would have played, think Jimmy, apart from Reardon sees the 17 he picks for Saturdays game as his first choice.

So where does Jon Clarke fit in?

loose forward, When Vinnie has his next sore throat, knee twinge, groin strain, bad back or Runny ar$e....

Looking at the way Kev Penny has been trying to improve i think dropping him from the squad altogether must feel like a kick in the nuts to him..

But as someone else said King has nowhere to hide on Saturday...
