Penny must watch the re-run (If he has SKY), look at himself and think, I was eyeballing my opposite number, so I'm not blame, surely ? So why did I end up on the bench looking dejected ?

This angered me more than anything all night. Penny actually put his oppsite number on his back, yet still got dragged off!

[quote="JWP"]I don't know either mate, it's something I've thought about too, the 'fall from grace' of it all. Normally there's an injury or something. I reckon the answers you'll get will be something like,

1. He was in a very good Melbourne side, with players like Cronk who gave him quality 'gain line' ball.

2. He's a winger, not a centre.

3. It's just a different game, some folk just can't adapt to SL, the attacking intent of it all, players who are used to structure can't adapt to the more fluent SL. There's plenty of David Kidwells who's performaces on both sides of the world would be staggeringly different.

4. He misses Neighbours. (Don't we all. RIP Toadie.)[/quote]

Well, maybe not dead. Just refused a Visa because of an assualt charge dating back to 2005 for an assualt at Lassitas, so as good as.

I can't believe one of my mates who is a Wire fan had the cheek to argue that Matt King is better than Matt Gidley.

He's been a huge disappointment.

The only thing more disappointing than Matt King right now, would be to go town tonight, get chatting to a bird who was a dead ringer for Kelly Brook, for her to whisper some pretty naughty stuff in your ear, to get home and discover that she had a very large willy*.

It was actually a hairy mole, shaped like a UK Weather Map just below her right ample sized breast.

Granted, Penny is a young kid still learning the game. His defence has improved greatly, which shows his attitude is first class as well. It's obviously something he's working hard at.

Take the penultimate try. Penny came in from his wing and made his tackle, the man turned to offload to Gidley and King was strolling around out of position, again!

Here we have the most exciting winger we've had since Dessie who's also showing a desire to improve his overall game, not just rely on his pace.

Can I add to this.

What's happening to Penny is a total scandal - see EddieG's comments above + the fact that in attack we never use "dink" kicks behind his opposing wing/centre to keep them pushed back thus creating more time/attacking space once they realise they'll get burnt if they come up too quickly. In fact we don't use him full-stop.

AND NOW

What the hell is going on with our left side defence? People were strolling down there last season and it's started that way this.

Penny isn't to blame, it's everything that goes on inside him and I point the finger at both Louis and esp last night Briers (in fact he was gash all round - I'd get rid). Penny has to keep coming infield because either Brier's doesn't fancy it or Louis has gone on the rush (as usual). You see none of this down the right side so what's going on?

Well done Jimmy for taking him off after he was the only one who made a tackle on their last try - outstanding stuff.

Maybe expectation on him to do something with the ball everytime he has it might be getting abit to him?
Its like Saints fans who expected everytime Jamie Lyon got the ball to beat 4 men and flick it out to Gardener.

Admittedly, getting put on yer backside by a 32 year old as he walked past you is very disappointing.

I wouldn't mind if he was slightly above average. At the minute, he isn't even that.
