Should we allow Penny out on loan ?? : Mon Apr 27, 2009 9:27 pm  

Reading the rugby league news today it seems that Wakey are suffering a winger shortage.

With Damien Blanch out for the season and 2 other wingers, Murphy ( dislocated shoulder ) and Matt Peterson, out for at least another couple of weeks would it be a good decision by Warringtonto allow him to go out on loan to another SL club, if asked.

Bradford decided it was a good idea by letting Halley go to Wakefield earlier in the season rather than leaving him for months in the reserves.

Wigan also have allowed Goulding to go to Salford ( although freeing up some salary space may also have had a bearing on this decision)

I think that it would be a good move for Penny. He certainly cannot be developing fully as a player in the academy week in week out. Let him go to another club for a couple of months, let him make mistakes at another club but then hopefully he will learn from them without being in the pressurised environment at Warrington where he is still believed by some to be the greatest find of the past 30 years.

It could just be the making of him as a player.

Yes we should let him out on loan IF we don't intend to play him, but would it be better if he went to a NL1 club?

Penny could go two ways. Either he will one day be a major star of SL or he will be on the RL scrapheap and working in a dead end job at somewhere like Total Fitness.

Kear would be a very good coach for him to develop. Plus its a chance for him to shine in a Super League club.

Should actively seek to give players further chances in other teams, if it will help them develop.

See Scott Moore, Goulding et all.

Why would that be a dead end job?

No not at all.. I just think it's a bit innapropriate to say "dead end job" especially in this climate.

Afterall, isn't Des a postman?

In answer to the thread title, YES!

I agree and definately in the current financial climate, 1/10 more of people will be out of job by Christmas, waahey!

Watching the reserves on Saturday I thought the same thing about Penny. Time out on loan to another club would help him develop. Playing in the reserves certainly isn't going to help him much as the standard is so much lower than SL.
