Not at all, he got smashed everytime he had the ball and then he started passing it to grose cause he was scared

He only scored that try cause he is quick

He needs to bulk up to small

Aye pet, but Richards is still quicker than him.

Why do we not see Fox using his pace to score great solo tries then ?

What people have failed to note is that Kevin Penny was very well covered by his opposing winger, Younes Khattabi. The only time Kevin looked like scoring was when he did score .... as a result of a brilliantly executed Lee Briers kick from the scrum base when the Les Catalans back three defenders were up in the first defensive line. I agree with Bald Eagle Stevo that it was superb classical rugby league by Lee Briers. But almost any alert attacking winger would have scored off such a kick. It was served up on a plate to Kevin Penny by Lee Briers.

Look at the rest of the match. Penny did well taking the high kicks when standing deep. But when Warrington was in its attacking formation Khattabi was up in Penny's face. That is why an intimidated Kevin Penny dropped the ball from passes on other occasions.

No sh !t Sherlock.

He is too light at this stage & does seem to get 'hurt' a lot, as Cullen has acknowledged. I could suggest you have a similar spineless winger at Wigan who was in the same mould, a long time after just 10 games. But that would be churlish.

I don't actually think Penny is as quick as some think. The main thing about him is that he's very confident in his own ability and he's prepared to back his pace. I think alot of Wingers would be able to take people on and score tries like he does, but they almost always play it safe and come back inside. In fact, after watching Penny taking that cross field kick and getting reeled in when it looked like he was in, and then watching Riley chasing down a kick that ended up a drop out, I though Riley actually looked margainly quicker than Penny. Penny is quick, but by no means the next Martin Offiah.

I've been something of a critic of Penny, but after watching him bomb them chances in the the first half I was impressed in the way he kept his head up, scored a decent try, and then he looked great under the high ball in the second half.
