Keep your head up Kev. Awesome try - great finishing. Like DNK said, its a team effort so we shouldnt be pointing the finger at individuals. A repeat performance next weekend should see us cruise past the pies!

Kevin Penny is an outstanding find for Warrington. I don't see how one man on the wing can defend against 2 or 3 opposition players - isn't he suppose to have support on his inside. He is the only one of the team who isn't scared to go close to the fans win or lose - I love watching Warrington - go home and away but I am sometimes disgusted with their lack of appreciation of the support the fans give to them. Kevin Penny never ignores us - is the first to appreciate it and I for one think we should all get behind Kevin Penny because without doubt he is a superstar for the future and we want him at Warrington...

Out of order,! you could say that Ade Gardner is a weak link in defence by letting three tries at the HJ.

Penny's try was the ultimate highlight of that game - I didn't know I could still jump that high!
For those of us who remember watching Brian Bevin, his defence was hardly worth writing home about, but he was covered by his centre and full back. That was because the team knew how valuable he was in attack.
Penny is very young, and new to SL, so let's give him time to sort out his tackling.
Perhaps little Glees could give him some lessons? He was outstanding on Saturday, as were the rest of the forwards, and I hope Clarky isn't going to get his starting place back automatically. Glees tackles well and offers more from acting half back.
Anyway, left the ground on Saturday disappointed, but not despondent, and am just building myself up to watch the game on DVD.
It was a cracking effort, especially in view of the pre game and mid game injuries, and the team played with purpose and pride. That is all we have been asking for all season.
Great effort.

agree with BJ the youngsters did us proud on saturday,Penny's try was another world class try, to have such a gem in our team, excites me.When he gets the ball you just wonder if its going to be better than the last try. How many excellent try's has this kid given us, we talk about this try and next game he comes up with another. Moast teams are lucky if they see one great try in a season, with Penny he comes up with them as a matter of every day occurance.The team with not standing the injuries,were top draw. What cracking performances, they have produced lately. Keep it up WIRE!!!!.
