Quote: Wires71 "Thanks, interesting.
How about Currie vs the top 2nd rowers such as the likes of Farrell, Bateman etc.
I just don't get it - you look in those highlight reels and you come to the conclusion he has stunk this season. Especially defending his line.'"
Bear in mind, McQueen made the dream team. So, opinion polls have him as top two. He did score a lot of tries, which separates him from Currie.
Bateman. 1711 meters, 7.31 average gain. 546 tackles, 28 missed (5.12%)
Farrell. 2417, 8.42. 626 - 42 (6.7%).
Statistically, Farrell is light years ahead. But Currie is STATISTICALLY in the mix with the rest. But, there’s more to the game than numbers.
My point is, if Currie had a better highlight reel this season, getting the ball in space, there’s no reason why he wouldn’t be in the mix with Bateman, McQueen as those at the top of their position. He’s been 6 out of 10, steady but not game breaking.
