Having seen the game last night my opinion on Kevin Penny hasn't changed in the slightest he is still all hype for me.

yeah, just the one hat trick tonight against Saints.

IMO he's more of an athlete than a rugby league player.
He doesn't have particulary good passing, catching or tackling skills but his speed and athleticism get him noticed.
Obviously he will improve as he gets more experience but at the moment I think he is very over rated.

When did that happen? Gardner went for the corner and penny couldn't get there in time. He hardly ran over him.

I love it when you post. You highlight the crisis in the education system in Wigan.

While most opposition fans criticise Penny they would like to have him in their team.

He has got pace to burn and plenty of time to learn the game ( Chambers is too old)

So ok his head on tackling technique is never going to be very good, with his pace he can usually let some one pass and then tackle from behind or along side.

When Saints had Anthony Sullivan a few years ago he wasn't renowned for his defence but he scored some classic tries

Kevin Penny = Poor Man's Duaine Chambers
