Thought the club release was a bit of a back handed compliment,saying Warrington identified his pace but then loaned him out to other clubs and now let us sign him. I await his debut with anticipation.

Find a Penny pick it up put it your club and get good luck...





Any way I'm happy with Penny, I hope he proves his doubters wrong, and comes good not just for the club,but for him self too.. Well come to Wakefield..

IMO this is exactly the type signing we want. Players who have something to prove, and a hunger to get back to top flight RL.

Kear's "projects" got us a long way before, welcome aboard Kev.

That is not where the good stuff ends, while his speed is obvious to everyone what is maybe not so obvious is his ability to take advantage of his pace in various ways.  He positions himself to make a break, has a great ability to offset the defence by varying his pace, has a great instinctive awareness of how to manipulate the defender with body shape, swerve, in and out, and he certainly doesn't lack bottle when going low for a try.

His defence is obviously a concern but he has shown over the last two years that he is willing to work on it and has the ability to improve. It's an aspect of the game he will always be troubled by but it's also something he that can get better with good coaching and experience.  

His signing will give us a cutting edge and we will have an ability to score from anywhere provided we can get the ball to him. 

Happy with this signing and agree its the type of signing we want.

When he first broke through at Warrington I thought he was goign to be something special. I still think he can but suspect he has confidence issues and hopefully Wakey could be just the place to get over them.

Good news IMO

Went well at Quins and I think Trinity could be just the place for Penny to continue building his career.

Good signing for me, arguably your best to date for 2011.

Problem in defence. But not only will he score you tries with his pace he'll score them from a high ball to the corner. He has a massive vertical leap and with a good kicker could but a good source of tries for you next year.

If he plays on the left wing with Millard inside him then we should look to put the high ball to them quite alot, all we need is someone with the kicking game to get it to them.

Ahhh so thats why we let Latu go to Salford.....

I remain to be convinced about Penny. I never really rated him, always thought he was just fast and also too cocky (think the Leo-Latu incident and him skipping over the line when he scored a hatrick against us). His main issues are his defence and his handling, his handling is a particular problem when he gets too giddy and enthusiastic or stressed when on the back foot.

But, I agree it could be a good signing for us and that Kear and Wakey is the best place for him to be now in order to build his career and confidence. He does have a point to prove after all the hype and having an innate talent for sprinting, so yes, one of us!

I hope I'm very plesantly surprised.

Get him paired up with Millard and let's get some bloody ball to them!

Can't believe we've signed that trouble causer and let Latu the angel go, shocking!
