Am I the only one who can envisage him kissing the Wire badge if / when the two sides meet and if / when he scores a try for the Wolves?

As great a move has it been for him, he's Wire through and through.

To be fair, he has stated he is Wire through and through and he is waiting for the call back, but nobody can question his commitment.

He is one of the most genuinely exciting players in British RL, and hopefully he will continue to improve and have a long career at the top level (but back with us!)

He is certainly not holding back. The man likes to prove himself. We've had certain players come here on loan who treat their tenure as a bit of a holiday. I don't think anyone would argue that Tomkins gave his all whilst here.

Penny might be a wire but he is giving his all right now and that is all you can ask for.

And that is precisely why I've got so much time for him. Whatever his faults are (which are grossly overstated) he gives 100% of the effort 100% of the time.

I saw him play for our reserves this season and he ran 20 yards to pat people on the back there as well.
