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.

Don't worry you wouldn't.
