Very good signing IMO. You'll certainly get your moneys worth.

Good luck next year.

Handling skills are very poor, he never learnt to run behind the play and i think some of you will be shocked by how much of that pace he has lost. I seem to recall him coming in around 7th at this years floodlit's fastest man competition. Shame for the lad, too much time spent with Paul Cullen has ruined anything he had.

He can have my support and starts with a clean sheet.

Re: Penny signs : Fri Sep 24, 2010 6:03 pm  

He's bloody fast.

Did he really come 7th in the sprint this year?

Not too bad when you consider he wasn't even in it.

I don't think his attitude will be a problem as others have alluded to. I spoke to a Harlequins player last year who spoke very highly of him.

Saying that his attitude was brilliant and that he was a nice lad to have around the dressing room.

Which player would this be then????

It's not too important really, he's a close friend so I'm pretty sure it was reliable.

He did mention that he was expecting him to be cocky and full of himself but he was quite the opposite.

I suppose as the old saying goes 'never judge a book by its cover'.
