| Quote Moe syslak="Moe syslak"Yes, but it was pretty clear that penny would be moving on and that williams would be here for the next couple of seasons at least. Therefore i would imagine smith saw the benefit of giving williams some 1st team experience. Nobody will convince me that his salary is not a factor in his moving on. Also, didn't smith pick him in a GB training squad?'"
Didn't Glesson?

| Quote sally cinnamon="sally cinnamon"Biscuit I too was always in the pro-Penny camp but I think you have to respect Smith's decision here, look at his track record, he isn't a coach who discards young talent without a reason. Lee Smith, Ryan Hall, Ashley Gibson, Danny Williams, all these outside backs got their chance under Smith at Leeds, some did better than others, but at a big club like that he could have signed high profile players but he gave lads a chance just like he's given Riley a chance. He has obviously judged Penny as not good enough for the Wire time, time will tell whether that was the right call or not. I would rather Penny was playing first team rugby somewhere else, than everybody always wondering if he was good enough or not, as a squad player at Wire. I hope he goes well.'"
yeah that's fair enough, you missed off Calderwood though, as Smith "let him go" when he wanted an improved new contract when he was at the top of his game, and to be fair Smith got that right by replacing him with Scott donald.
Calderwood turned to absolute poop after that I just hope Penny doesnt go the same way.

| Sorry to see him leave but no surprise to anyone. Best of luck to Kev wherever you go to (unless its Wigan).

| Quote JWP="JWP"The problem for Kev for me is that all the qualities he had that made him shine, we now have anyway, as they are a given under Smith. I used to love his enthusiasm, his desire, his passion, his pace. Without all that, you're just left with deficiencies.
At Wakefield, he'll be a breath of fresh air. Their fans will adore him, he'll chase everything, catch tonnes, miss some, clap, beat his chest, run very, very fast. He's all action, good & bad and it'll be great for Kear to stand back and say to the rest of them "look, this is what I want", he might not do everything right, but he'll do everything with everything he's got.
It makes Wakefield watchable again on TV anyhow, thank god.
It's upto Kev to shine now, and shine like a beacon. I hope he proves everyone wrong, like an Atkins who now makes Bradford's decision to let him go look ridiculous. There's plenty kicking around in SL, look at Jodie Broughton, not good enough for Leeds, he's made a good career move for him and his stock has risen, Penny should look at the likes of him and see that you can bounce back.'"
He had a great loan spell at Quins, scored a few trys, made a few try saving tackles and caught quite a lot of high balls aswell. Think he'll go well at Wakey next year and I doubt that their fans will get on his back as much as our fans did.

| Rhys evans is fast and will probably score loads of exciting tries when he breaks into the first team. So if wire fans want to be consistent then he will have to be made the scapegoat if we have a dip in form.

To be fair, Grix had to nearly die to stop the tide turning on here.

Next year, pal.
Landerson has been in fine form this term. But you know how things can change at the turn of a hat.
