Quote Rhino Roy="Rhino Roy"As above really....ben came through the Leeds system as a back rower but was converted to a hooking role in the academy. Not the most talented or skilful player but as enthusiastic as they come. defensively he is very good but attacking wise not anything close to a Penkywicz.
Fev have replaced him with Flanagan from Batley who will offer far more go forward and attacking threat. Halifax lost a lot when Penkywicz left and have still not replaced him with anyone in that class 2 seasons on.'"
Thanks for your feedback on Ben Kaye Roy.
As regards Penky at this level I think he was amost irreplacable, anyone as good as him in the attacking sense I personally have not seen in the Championship and anyone better than him would not be in the Championship.
With Kayne and Mennell and young Holden we will have options, even within the same game they can be interchanged to mix things up.
The 9 spot has often been used to do this, Saints, Leeds and Bradford when they were at their best had two hookers on the team sheet, eg Cunningham and Roby at Saints that were top players as individuals and as a duo would ask different questions for the oppostion, at our level lets hope these boys can do the same thing.
