| Don't remember anyone calling him a coward on this board.
Who was it ?

| Who said that?
Currie has struggled for form in some games this season but that can be levelled at most of the team.
Our all Ben backrow was terrific last night though.

| He was absolutely playing without expressing himself fully earlier in the season. I wouldn't call it cowardice, more a lack of confidence or self belief.
He now looks more comfortable in himself, like he believes he's the open age player he now is and not the young Eng Acad captain making the step up he was. I think there's a lot more to come from the lad too.
Don't forget about that virus he had where he lost 10kg of muscle mass in a couple of weeks. In Association Football, Manchester City's John Guidetti had something similar where the virus ate away at his calf muscle and he's never been the same since and will never become the player he could have as it set his development back so much.
Excellent im the last three games though and can't wait to see how good he can become.

I think the thread title needs changing "some posters were wrong about Ben Currie" or something, very poor thread title.

| Someone did post it a few weeks back. Don't recall who but it was after one of our pathetic dubbings, against Cas I think, so it was very likely posted in frustration. It doesn't help creating a witch hunt though, just attention to the header and move on.

| The title should be changed. It's nonsense, whatever the spirit was in which it was intended.
Currie does need to develop the physical side of his game to become a top player. However, he was great last night and has a great skill set.
As for comparisons with Westwood, I'm not sure Westwood was even playing first team RL at Currie's age and he was an overweight centre/winger for a couple more years after he did break through. Ben C has plenty of time.

| 30 tackles with none missed, 11 carries for 92 metres plus the try and try assist.
Oh and he's now our top try scorer this season.

| I'm sure the club and coaching staff are more than pleased with the progress of Currie and his overall development, development being the key word, the comment was rash probably spur of the moment, Curries form has settled the matter I hope once and for all.

No Yed I don't. I don't say things for drama or controversy. I would hope in the few instances I do criticise players of the team I have supported for almost forty years I give valid and fair reasons behind those criticisms.
I said in my original post "I'd go so far as to put in type....." because I expected someone to bring up my quote in a told you so manner. ....however immediately following my statement not one person said I was out of order I couldn't find your criticism of my post then either Yed.or irish wire who started this ridiculous thread ?...only after the win over wakey did one person say anyone crossing the line isnt a coward. ...Which is actually a fair comment.
So it would seem we have to wait for Currie to have a good game in order for my initial comment to be outrageous. ... ..that's a bit odd eh. ?
If I was honest i didn't like using the word Coward but in the Cas game like it or not he went hiding and o brien took some hits for him. ...and i didn't like it. ..I gave my reasons and not one person argued against them. ..
Am I going to persist in calling him a coward because I don't want to change my point of view. ..of course not if he maintains his form of yesterday's game I will be over the moon. .
Have we dragged up all the Smith out, agar out, myler out, sims out, bridge out. ....so and so stealing a living threads too. ... Someone can look intelligent by laughing at those opinions after one win can't they...
its a forum for opinions I gave mine no one argued at the time ... I'll continue to do the same because I love talking about my team and the sport. If people think it's wrong then delete all the comments then just post a mission statement saying Warrington wolves are always perfect ...and close down rlfans. ..

| I'll be honest, i never read the 'Props' thread, i had to search to find a comment calling him a coward late last night, not been on as much as i usually do of late.
I would have took you to task though.
Listen I'm not trying to call you out or make you look silly, we all post stuff in hindsight that can be ripped to shreads weeks later.

No problem. .I would have enjoyed someone taking me task. .... no one did at the time though. ..
I'm not hiding from what I said Currie was dreadful when i made that post but I can accept he played well last night and am made up for him. I'm not Tiz Lad......
