Just a note... Sculthorpe was Warrington captain at 17. Currie is already 21.
He is a great player but Scully was something else entirely. It was a sad day when we had to sell him to keep our club going.

Scully was a big fish in a small pond though.

We did have some very big underperforming fish. |

| Quote Saddened!="Saddened!"Gareth O'Brien looks a player doesn't he? He was all class for Saints in his time with us and seems to be playing brilliantly at fullback for Salford. Was it perhaps a short sighted move from Warrington to not retain him? Possibly at the expense of the headless chicken that is Steffan Ratchford?
Also, what a start to the season Ben Currie has had! How long is his Wire contract? I think you are doing him a massive dis-service in not letting an NRL side take him now, he's world class and needs to be playing over there, not bullying semi-pro standard SL sides.'"
The Melbourne Storm thought they had Currie but he signed a long term deal with Warrington a day after he was due to sign for them.
They aren't too happy with Currie's manager. |

| Quote Ron="Ron"GOB looked like a poor fullback to me, was hopeless in defence and repeatedly got smashed when bringing the ball back, putting his team on the back foot. I would take Stefan Ratchford over him any day of the week.
As for Ben Currie and world class? He is a good super league player at the moment but far from world class, I don't know if a single SL player is world class, give him a couple of years and see how he develops.'"
No one in SL is world class???
Chris Hill
Alex Walmsley
James Roby
Ryan Hall
Kallum Watkins (Maybe)
These players could walk into almost every team in SL and the NRL. |

I don't suppose we will be able to compare the two until Currie hangs his boots up. But Currie, while not captain, is 21 and has made just shy of 100 first-team appearances already. That's almost 1/3 of Sculthorpe's career club appearances, and he has over 1/3 of Sculthorpe's try total (43 v 113). The trajectory is certainly impressive. |

The comparison with Sculthorpe's appearances is enlightening. You do wonder whether the strain on the body of carrying Warrington's pack when only 17 impacted on his career's longevity. |

Do you regularly watch the NRL? Those players could definitely get games in the NRL, Hill would even be a good NRL forward. But none of them would be a top 3-5 player for their position. Which is what I would class as world class, Walmsley got absolutely dominated by the Rooster forwards, whose best forward wasn't even playing. |

He had at least two years left on his contract at Warrington when it was renewed. I'd expect the same to happen again. |

| Quote Vespid_Wire="Vespid_Wire"Very, very poor attempt at trolling.
Keep GOB when we've brought in Gids and Sandow? I like the guy but he's exactly where he belongs at a side like Salford and I wish him all the best there, but he had no future here other than a regular spot in the reserves team.'"
Trolling? I like O'Brien, I thought Saints should have signed him, he'd definitely have improved us. You've signed Gidley, but he's got 1 or 2 seasons in him at best. Ratchford for me hasn't kicked on and I think perhaps, maybe, (I.e. not definite, just a suggestion) Wire got that call wrong.
On Currie, again, don't see the problem with praising him. He's class, utter class. |

GO'B
imo, I'm happy for both sides that he's gone. His career was literally meandering in a Wire jersey. He wasn't poor. He wasn't great. Just the dictionary definition of OK. For those who represent the GO'B fan club, put yourself in this situation. He's in (for example) a Castleford jersey, and it's a Friday night Sky game. I bet there's not many saying "Corrrr, I wish he was in a Wire jersey". Thought not.
He's gone, and he's now usurped Salford's last season's "bright young thing" Evalds, to the FB jersey.
We win/Salford win.
Currie
World class? You're 'avin' a laaarrrff, intcha?
SL class, yes. World? Ask me in 4 year's time.
