Aye looking at that back line, it looks very rosey but we need to ensure we utilise the pace we now have and get the ball out as often as possible. We can score tries for fun, I am confident of that, even with our current crop so this should be an interesting couple of additions.
Having said though, what are the chances we ruin both of their careers and they never see SL again and before you know are playing for Crosfields?

What I don't understand about the Penny signing is why we've not even given Danny Mills a chance to prove himself and sent him out on loan? He came here with good reputation as a pacey winger.

Il be shocked if he returns from his initial month loan spell.

Bit of a non-entity his spell at the club after being given a starting squad number by McCormack.

I know he was one of the part timers but obviously aint fancied by the present regime.

If we could only get Fletcher and Morrison back in the second row, the pack wouldn’t be looking too bad. If we could bring in a Fellous type prop too, we won’t be far off being a good side imo.

I am still quite hopeful that with the return of the pair of them, Tyrer in the centres and whichever full back can get themselves fit first we can start to put pressure on the sides above us.

It would certainly make for interesting viewing should any of the sides around us start to really suffer injuries to the level that it appears we have already this year.

how long is gaskell out for. hope one our most consistent performers is not forced out the club. it is good to get fresh faces in, but i would have got a centre instead of a winger. it won't be long before wire fans start calling us wire seconeds.

Penny maybe quick but he's suspect under the high ball and frail in defence.

no he's not..he has good hands something you'd expect of a kid that played a decent amount of basketball

however if you score a wonder try at Saint Helens in the cup on the BBC (its on You tube listen to Jiffy almost say Jesus as he beats gardner gidley and Wellens) but the next time you have the ball you carry it one handed and knock on and Saints score...people will gloat and many many fans did....his poor handling is a myth as is his defence.

he is an exceptional talent and as a Wire fan of 30 years I am a bit miffed at it because it leaves us with some terrible carthorses....

I'd be quite pleased with both acquisitions if I were you lot....

Make your own informed decisions, as opposed to prejudice ones.

The only thing suspect with Penny is his positional sense due to him being a late starter in rugby. Trust me with green in front of him no-one will catch him. I only hope he comes back.

Penny will score a hatful, but will need a decent defensive centre or will concede just as many as he scores.

We need two Fellous type props imo. I suppose we can only get what is available though.

Fellous plays his last game of the season for Lezignan this w/end. Maybe he'll go to Toulouse, but you'd hope the club have at least asked him about a return to Widnes?
