So Cyril Stacul poses so much of a threat that jimmy feels the need to drop Kevin Penny.... lord help us

TBF I havent seen him sprint in Quite a While.



TANCW I now think that Bridge should play wing with King on the bench, much better than my sugestion

We know Penny is a local lad and all but isn't that fact clouding some people's judgment here.

Cullen was a very poor coach and the only reason he stayed coach was because he was Moran's mate and a local lad.

The same seems to be happening to Penny he is a very poor player and yet he remains in the 1st team picture in most fans minds.

People say we never give Local talent a break and were always calling them but it doesn't matter weather your from Lithuania or Longford if you cant play rugby then you cant play rugby.

Matt king isn't blameless but for some people it seems easier to point blame at an overrated Australian on a big wage rather than somebody from your own town.

The left edge will be massively susceptible to attacking at pace.

Wolves squad to face Catalans: Chris Riley, Chris Hicks, Paul Johnson, Chris Bridge, Matt King, Martin Gleeson, Michael Monaghan, Adrian Morley, Mickey Higham, Garreth Carvell, Louis Anderson, Ben Westwood, Ben Harrison, Lee Briers, Paul Wood, Vinnie Anderson, Paul Rauhihi, Matty Blythe, Tyrone McCarthy.



The above is the order in which the squad is printed in the Warrington Guardian.



Wouldnt it be quite interesting if this was the actual playing order for Saturday( with Blythe and McCarthy obviously the 2 omitted)



Bridge at centre,King on the wing,Gleeson and Monaghan 6 and 7.

Briers and Vinnie on the bench.



Lowes would go up greatly in my estimation if this was in fact the case ( and even more so if he played Bridge at stand off and Gleeson in his normal position.

The best move IMO, think the team looks stronger collectively without him in. Hopefully this will be the making of him and he will have a chance to work on the weaker aspects of his game and come back a better player.

Very similar to your in-sightful view on Chris Riley last year.





At the risk of a ban - you are a =redNo thanks - one more and you WILL get a ban.

I'd like to see : (From the 19 Man Squad)



1. Riley

2. Hicks

3. Gleeson

4. Bridge

5. Johnson / King

6. Briers

7. Monaghan



Maybe sway towards King on the wing. I think he's too slow to play there really, but it gives you an option to play PJ in the backrow from the bench.



Bench of :



Rauhihi, Wood, Johnson & Blythe.



2 Props & 2 blokes who can pretty much solve you a problem 1-13.

That's a bit contentious. I don't think arguably Cullen was a poor coach. After all he did take us from relegation to top 6, I just think he made some poor choices and lost control of the dressing room.

I don't remember giving any insightful view about Riley last year but Chris Riley has had 18 month's of learning to get were he is today and that is what penny needs but not in the first team because results mean more know than ever.

whilst it's easy to point out penny's defensive mishaps perhaps people should focus on the number of times he gets left in the lurch by his centre and back rower,king and louis anderson frequently come out of the line together,miss tackles or fail to stop an offload and leave penny stranded.

penny is a young man with plenty to learn but how many times is he going to be villified before he loses interest in the game altogether.

the players on the pitch who should be helping him through games are in fact jeopardising the future of one of the brightest prospects we have had in years.

how many wingers would relish playing in a team where you get given hardly any decent ball in attack or any cover in defence?

It was the year before....
