I would agree that Smith seems to think Penny is the cover for FB with Ormsby getting a wing slot.

Ormsby was in good form before that jaw injury in the CCSF, he has been a little unlucky not to be selected this season.

Yeah it appears Smith is covering his bases agree with your Penny/Ormsby if Russell is out with Philbin as cover for Westerman.

Penny seems to be very good at fullback in this current team.

Re: 19-Man squad for Wigan : Wed Mar 30, 2016 6:01 pm  

Word on the street is Russell won't make it but Westerman and Gidley will play.

Well if one player put down his cards to say I can play fb over Easter it was Penny. He took high ball after high ball at Hull, never dropping and always making yards. Solid in defence and very involved with play.
I'd rather see Penny at fb than Ratchford.

Maybe TS doesn't yet know who will be fit enough to play.

Well guys I've done my hamstring in tonight - grade 1 though - so should only be out for a few days (a week max), so TS can include me in the squad after that then.
My wife refers to to them as 'whingeries', but took sympathy and made me an egg and bacon sarnie as I iced the area.....
9First time I've done my hamstring - it's usually calves.....

Penny the second coming is a very well balanced player, still quick, not in the way he was but I doubt I'd still beat him to the ice cream truck.

There is no other player I want to succeed in rugby more than him.

Got a lot of time for Kev Penny,he has done it the hard way and probably never been anywhere near the top earners

He has graphed and waited for his opportunity and seems a nice guy to boot,do we know what is celebration is all about?

For what it's worth I can't see Ormsby or Philbin in the 17 and hope Matty makes it

I've slated him to death to anyone who would listen ever since we brought him back. Never thought he was a player of Superleague standard..

Because Johnson was clearly out of his depth on Monday.

If he is out of his depth at this level then he shouldn't be picked end of. Our rivals rarely put a youngster in who looks out of his depth. Last season he didn't look out of his depth. Making 3 changes in the back line when one move is all it takes is madness.
