Joel Monaghan has signed a contract extension at Wire and is still here next season. With regards to Penny I'll never forget his try v Salford at home from a briefs kick from a scrum, the try against Saints at Knowsley Road and the k kick on out of his hands on the 20m restart

.

Whilst he displayed glimpses of brilliance he also had some shockers. All that said, he's worked hard and to have got the praise from Gary Chambers that has brought him back into the thoughts of Tony Smith shows how hard he's worked. Credit to Penny he could have gone onto the heap of past forgotten players thinking of "Only if"?

Will be interesting to see how we line up next season. I just hope he left the silly back slapping and jumping up and down antics at Widnes.

Strange that we don't see much of mr 'best pack in the league' round here anymore

Cheers

It is a gamble but what an opportunity for Penny. Hope he takes it tbh

If say Joel Monaghan gets rested for a game and Penny comes in and makes a few mistakes what do we do the next week? Does Smith bring Joel back and destroy Penny's confidence like Cullen and Lowes did or does he keep Joel on the sidelines to show faith in Penny?

It isn't a dig at you, or Saints, just an opportunity to mock the much-missed Northampton Saint.

Used to love watching him. Always remember Warrington - Hull, first game of the season. Warrington score, We kick off, ball goes to Penny who runs half the length before passing inside to king. I can remember thinking then that I'd never seen someone so quick on a rugby pitch. Fact is that defense is never a wingers strong point. If he's improved enough to cut out the silly errors then that is probably enough, depending on who's defending inside him. Really glad to see the kid given another chance.

Not one to spoil a memory . But that was Atkins, when he used to be quick.

No, it was Penny. He got the ball off Monas from the kick off IIRC, scorched down wing and passed it inside to King, who romped home. Very early in the game.

Come on Bobbie, I expect better of you.



Hull kick-off, Monaghan receives, he has Parker steaming up on his inside, looks at Parker, then flings the ball out to Penny who goes down the line, draws in the fullback(?), giving ot to King to score from about thirty metres.

100% it was penny

Ha ha i just had to you tube it.. Im quite clearly losing it.



Apologies .. I seem to remember a similar King /atkins one straight from a kick off against hull. But that might just be a sign of getting old !
