Penny is like a slightly more intelligent Anthony Sullivan.
He reads the situation well, it is just about ironing out the creases. He has the potential to go a long way, does he have the coaching staff to help him?
he looks a good winger, pace to burn, but still has everything to prove, spilled a few catches aswell. He has only played 3 games after all, the new offiah, certainly not by a long long chalk.
That is the difference between us and the Australians. Their young guns are enormous athletic machines like Falou and Inglis, our are sparrow legged runts like Penny.
The lad liiks very green in terms of all round rugby skills. You'd never get someone playing in the NRL with such weak basics. Speed and raw athletism though look exceptional.
First saw the lad on Sky last week, makes mistakes in defence, but and a big but is that he can score. Being a Saints fan he reminds me of Sullivan in the way he can judge a situation and is able to stand the fullback up. Look at the two trys he has scored stood up Donald and beat Webb (i think), today beat Gidley for pace and stood up Wellens.
