Everybody wants Penny to succeed but it seems he has gone from being a scapegoat to being beyond criticism. There were some basic errors made on that edge and the player himself was aware of them looking at his reaction.



Not entirely sure why he warrants being singled out on a thread on here though.

A fault for the try, resulting kickoff wins us the ball back with excellent kick.

Let's get some perspective.

Kev has made mistakes and will make mistakes, but overall the balance is positive. What impresses me these days is his ability to drive the ball in against the big guys and make meters with his leg drive.

He's still fast and knows how to play as a winger.

He does miss some tackles but usually slows the guy up enough for support to come from the inside.



The high fives and all that are part of his make-up (not a great fan of all that as I'm an old g1t and think it's a bit OTT), but I think it's part of his general positivity that rubs off on others.

We need players like him.

Keep it up Kev.

If you read my original post I think it's clear.

I recall the constant targeting of the Evans Lineham flank at Hull fc ...three tries conceded down that wing I think.

Hull had obviously made a conscious decision to target that wing



Did I miss the Tom lineham liability comments..?

Lets face it there are too many people who just don't like local guys doing well! This guy has gone through a run of emotions that most of us couldn't deal with, being a fresh face thrown into the big games scoring great tries, being dumped on by vastly experienced team mates to save their face, being ostracised by his own fans (not all), being exiled by the club, being brought back to the club and starting fresh, putting in solid performances to earn his spot plus the adulation of some of the fans. Most of that would have folks on some sort of anti depressant.



Not every player can be every ones favourite but Christ this lad is one of our own he's not on any holiday from Aus!!



I might be correct in thinking that if we had Eric Groth and Brian Bevan there would be scapegoatmanship from plenty of the loons on here!!!!

Good post that.

Kev is now a player first on my team sheet with Sandow and Hill on this seasons form and I'm very close to adding Atkins to that trio.

erm... Gidley?



Or are you still hoping for Chris Bridge to return at stand-off?

think you must have missed the post where RD said he thinks Gidley is washed up and showing signs of being over the hill.

Gidley is in the next wave of 3 selections with Atkins and Currie.



Like I said "erm' in on form. Kurt is terrific but I think he started the season better.

I missed that too backslapper. Perhaps you should find the quote and post it, or is that a lie?
