| Currie, Hughes & Westerman look the epitome of the perfect RL back row. Fast, skilful, mobile, tough and pacy, and I'd agree with Lefty's comparison with the 86 back row which is high praise, and fully justified.
Of the three, Westerman has surprised me most. I was slightly dubious of his signing, always feeling he was slightly overrated but he looks like a player whose career has kick-started again. Hughes is the ginger Gary Sanderson - trojan like, reliable, consistent and earnest.
Currie? Well, I shouldn't have to reiterate my long-held, and widely voiced adoration for the guy, but I will. The guy is the complete picture, the whole package and we should be on the phone to Bob Geldof to organse Currie-Aid to raise monies for us to extend his contract for, well, life really. Lazy? Hang your heads.
Future Wire captain, future England captain, the most talented English forward in SL. By a mile. End of.

Bennie was MOM in our game against HKR just before he got his ban and injury.
But perhaps a bit more beef and bench Prop would be best

| Can't remember who said it or which thread it was in but there was a comparison between our back three and the Pies back three. Full strength Wigan look pretty strong with Tomkins/Bateman/O'Loughlin. Looking forward to the battle when it comes around. Like Morresywire I've not made it a secret my admiration of Mr Currie, I just hope we can keep him in SL and not lose him to the NRL.

| I think Westerman and Hughes are only just starting to show what they are capable of. From the highlights I saw, there was a bit more running with the ball from Westerman against Cas and I would like to see the same from Hughes. But the two of them have only played 6 games for us and must surely still be settling in and getting used to our pattern of play / team mates. In the meantime I thought Benny played really well in the first two games, despite the fact he is 34. My thoughts were more along the line of 'sign him up for another year please'.

| I think its just great that we have good back up players in the majority of positions all over the park. To think that if there is a drop in form from any of Currie, Hughes and Westerman then Ben Westwood can just drop seamlessly in and cover all those positions without compromising the level on the pitch, and vice versa of course.
