How very true!

I like Foxy, but to be quite honest if you took him out of our side now and replaced him with someone like Fitzhenry, I doubt very much we'd notice much difference.
Thats not a criticism of him, although I don't think he's quite as good as some people are making out (perhaps due to a general lack of decent english wingers) I just don't feel we utilise his full capabilities. We would be a better side if we did IMO.
Would agree with all of that tbh, Fox is very quick without a doubt but it takes more than just pace and I think his biggest draw is the fact he is English, that will raise his value. I would say he is an okay player with tonnes of speed. Used properley he could go on to be a better player.

Could have sworn Fox made more errors than him last season.
Their stats are quite similar, although Fox has made more metres and bust, also take into account that people think Fox had a really good season and Penny a bad one...

The main difference being Penny turns into a statue if put under pressure inside his own 20 and his mistakes turn into tries for the opposition.

He's a flash get when their is no-one between him and the posts, but loses his bottle under pressure, similar to how Offiah was.
