Wakefield and Harlequins.

What can he do to improve his positional play?

Name me wingers you have seen, who have destroyed Penny in a game, ie, run over the top of him, handed him off, bumped him off etc in either the first team or the 21's that gives you the belief that his defence is bad ?

The only person that springs to mind is Peter Fox last year, i have never said people has run over the top of him or handed him off, his positional play is the problem with his defence.
I said in my last post he looked stronger and had put some bulk on, he forced Gardener out against Saints and somebody else in the Hull KR friendly, his strength isn't his problem.

You went all the way to Wakefield to watch the Reserves? I'm impressed!

Tee hee. I thought that too, fair play to anybody who did that.

That's not defence, that's team organisation and knowing your role within that. He's never played in an organised Warrington side, well, in fact he has, two games, last year Saint away, Leeds home. We all thought Jimmy had fixed us, we defended so well, beat Leeds, ran Saints to the brink, how many tries were scored down the left in those games ? How many times was Penny exposed ?

Kevin Penny is more than capable of fitting into a structured Warrington Wolves side, now & again, he'll make an error, all players will. We conceded two tries on Sunday, somebody will be to blame, there's always a root cause, I'm confident he'll be more than capable when he gets his chance.

Well whatever you want to call it, it's not good enough for 1st team Rugby at the moment, a lot of people think Tony Smith is the man to teach him the ways of Rugby, i hope there right but for the time being leave him were he is.

I think he's hoping that it was played pre-match so he can claim he watched it.
