t'Wires Penny.
The really frightening thought for me yesterday was how many tries this lad could score if he was on the wing for t'Stains. Fast, he makes Martin Offiah look like Millard.

Re: t'Wires Penny.
I think he really is one for the future a great turn of speed, yesterday he skimmed 3 Stains tacklers with raw pace. I think his defence needs to be worked on a little but that will get much better through experience.

Re: t'Wires Penny.
I used to work with his mum
He was a basketball player and thought about trials with wire
The offered him something on 1st showing from what I am led to believe
He / they were worried about his size etc
Cullen just saw his main asset - speed and said we can teach him how to play, we cant teach him how to run like that

Blinding speed BUT little else YET. No step.

Re: t'Wires Penny.
doesnt need a step with speed like that........
he reminds me of stefan marsh who is at the warriors now only just signed on.....
i used to play with him at pats and he was lightening quick and still ias but he has a killer step on him aswell......
a warning to super league defences in the future.....if he gets passed you dont chase him because you wont catch him.......

Re: t'Wires Penny.
I disagree. At the moment Penny is no better than Gary Henley Smith or Brimah Kebbie. You need more than speed.
Re Stefan. He has been superb so far for the academy. He makes his own tries with those steps and his speed. The new recruits look far better rugby players than the 2nd year U18s.

Re: t'Wires Penny.
As a basket ball player he will have a step that will put most flying wingers to shame. It the try down the line he made top class player look stupid including iron man wellans. That was step not speed. An esencial discapline in basketball. I played basketball before rugby. It was easy to break a line with a step a the lineout. No lifting in those days. Kid to watch. once the conditioning coaches get his weight right and he matures watch out. HCcpwigan posted:

Re: t'Wires Penny.
Deinitely one to watch out for. But he's got a long way to go before he can seriously be compared to Offiah.
He could do with going to another club too. Young speedsters of his type really come out of their shells when they're part of an effective unit. When Offiah first started, he benefited enormously from being on the end of a devastating Widnes three-quarter line. Can't see Penny getting many of those opportunities while he's at Wire.

Not so sure about that; I wouldn't mind Johnson & Gleeson as our centres.Cruncher posted:
