Widnes had Penny on loan last year. Different standard obviously so won't comment on his effectiveness, but his effort and enthusiasm were outstanding. Give the lad a chance.

Opposition fans may console themselves by reeling out the he "cant tackle cant catch" line truth is he made a high profile knock on in a challenge cup game not long after scoring an absolute blinder and he recieved plenty of stick from the saints fans...and its just stuck with him i'm afraid. Ive seen Francis Meli and Ade Gardner make more basic handling and defensive errors than Penny.

well didnt he big lad look great in defence last night

and thats my perfect example if Penny had defended like that there would be 10 pages on the saints forum and twenty on the wires one.....but the big fat effort in pigtails gets away with every time.

Again Cudjoe... last week was the dogs nuts but he quite clearly has handling issues and got nowhere near a kick last night...cost them a try, but quickly swept over by the muppets on sky.....incidentally the pigtailed one was actually that frightened of a high ball that he made no attempt to catch it...

Best signing so far for me would have him instead of blanch anyday it was only 2 years ago he was the next best thing since slice bread. Great signing.

Just like what other teams did to Blanch last season. Atleast Penny has the pace to get across when their wingers get on the outside, Blanch wasn't quick enough to close the space.

Re: Penny signs : Sat Sep 25, 2010 2:13 pm  

I think KP is a gamble but one worth taking and at last we have some actual pace in our back line. Just hope we use it.....

Re: Penny signs : Sat Sep 25, 2010 3:35 pm  

Good signing for me as Blanch was struggling with pace in SL.

while we know that he will be targeted by other teams we will have to compensate in other ways,
his speed has to be used to the max to get the best out of him or he is going to be another wasted signing,
my concern is that he doesn't jump out of position thinking he can intercept every ball or to tackle the centres leaving the wing open,
while he might not bring in the crowd name wise I'm sure he won't let the side down in effort
