    Default Saints Need Pace!

    Saints need pace its as simple as that! I think it would be worth a punt if Simmons took a punt on Luke George or Penny for on the outside of Shenton, Shenton is good enough in defence to compensate. Not being funny but Sullivan, Hunt, Albert to Meli (who is worth keeping at centre IMO but a dreadful winger) Gardner, Foster! Just not fast enough.

    I am assuming you havent seen much of Kevin Penny if you are seriously suggesting we go after him. He is an absolute liability. I think my cat has more positional sense.

    Granted Penny needs a bit of work but he could be good in the right team, I do prefer Luke George or if you wish for big money to be spent then spend it Im just suggesting that more pace is needed! Only dangerous in opposition 30's now and this needs improving!

    Right i spent 30 seconds with my head in my hands - just in case anybody maybe thought i'd still be sat with my head in my hands.

    back to the main point, Lack of Pace - an interesting point you raise

    Ok forget Penny I mentioned him as he would be a cheaper option regarding pace, but regardless of money Saints need pace simple as that!

    Yeah cos the guy we have playing outside Shenton at the moment isn't quick at all. If we learnt how to pass the ball out to Shenton and Makinson then we might have a fighting chance of making more line breaks.

    PS. Kevin Penny? What the hell have you been smoking???
    Forwards win games. The backs decide by how much.

    My god, denial or what pace is lacking its as simple as that ok Penny was not the best of choice but in case people didnt realise funds are low and the CC Final is a must as is pace, the first thing Simmons noted when he got here was a lack in pace also!

    So who else do you want to make aware of this because as far as i'm aware Royce Simmons is the one who's opinion matters.

    Personally - I think the problem is that we lack pace on the wings! Or am I missing the point?

    No, no no it's our forwards - they're not quick enough.

    Would help too if the water carriers were a touch quicker, dehydration would have less chance to set in if they got onto the field quicker.

    Ah!! Now I see why Penny was mentioned - perfect for that position!!

    Pace is needed the fact that you can joke about it shows the magnitude of the problem, fans dont care why should the coaching staff. Pathetic!

    While I wouldn't neccesarily suggest we sign Kev Penny, he is actually a decent player. He wasn't helped by the fact that during his spell in the first team he was outside the tandem of Louis Anderson and Matt King who were absolutely terrible.
