Quote: easyWire "Has Currie still got the speed and footwork to be the sort of centre that Powell wants? Under Price, I'd say yes, centre would suit Currie perfectly in that type of team.'"
I’d say yes.
Powell loved Michael Shenton. Physically Currie and Shenton I would say are same size.
At the end of the day a centre is primarily one of your main try scorers.
Currie scored a lot of try’s albeit up to his injuries. He can draw a man and pass to his winger. Whether he’s got the ability to pick the right option to pass or go himself remains to be seen.
For me Mata’tuia doesn’t score enough or look like scoring. He’s just physically a strong no nonsense type of player whose going to stick up for his teammates.
