Have to agree, there is nobody pushing for a BR spot at the moment so why would you consider moving him to another team with different systems and plays, where he would probably have to travel and where he wasn't under the constant eye of our coaches, physiology and doc ? I don't understand the logic. Please explain.

He was judged to be Warrington's man of the match in todays Rugby League Express.

Since we have tried half a dozen players at 13 and not really come up with an answer, I think Jack Hughes should move there. It is not as if he offering anything out wide and you cannot fault his work rate. Anthony Gelling and Keanan Brand are apparently on their way so it might be time to move Toby King in to the second row permanently. He is big enough and would offer more on attack than Hughes.

Quote: Alffi_7 "Not sure why people think he is immune from criticism, seems to have been getting plenty on here the last couple of weeks? Surely you know why he is being given more time than most? Before his injury there wouldn't have been a single back rower in the country I would have swapped him for, he has credit in the bank when it comes to being allowed time to get back to his previous best.

I wouldn't want him turning out on dual reg for Rochdale, he needs to be playing Super League, even on his current performances (which I agree is way down on his best) he is SL quality, he's on a level with Jack Hughes at the minute I'd say. I don't see what sending him to Rochdale would do for him, he needs gametime at the top level around the players he needs to build familiarity with. Plus I'd worry some plank would do a hatchet job on him.

He seems to be growing (slowly) week by week, put Goodwin away for a good try at the weekend.

I think he is also suffering from the amount of quality ball we are delivering out wide at present, our attacking structure needs improvement if we want to challenge for the big events. Currently we seem too reliant on a piece of Austin / Clark magic, or a kick to score tries - I'm not sure if this is a deliberate ploy by Price, but we will need to see improvement as we enter the back end of the season.'"



i actually would send him to rochdale, i said about 2 week ago maybe he needs a few weeks out of the first team.

Yes he's clearly fit and we've not had any wobbles like last time when we were all cringing, but even taking reduced pace into account he's not attacking anything like he used to, give him a week or 2 at rochdale, its a bit slower, he can work on getting his timing right on them offloads/passes, at the moment when he is given the ball he's hot potatoing it getting rid as fast as possible.

I think you're right also about the out wide ball or lack of, its the same issue with king and charnley and their scoring rates going down.

It's been proven with exceptional players that being a clever footballer can offset some loss of pace... like Bridge and Briers... does Currie enter that equation?

I'd see your point if Rochdale weren't so terrible. They've scored an average of 14.7 points a game so far this season. They've conceded an average of 43.7 points.

All he'd be working on there is his defending . . .

He'd need to go to a top Championship club for that to work, but I'd prefer if he stayed at Warrington.

I'd give this year to get back in the swing of things and settle into the team and then next year expect him to be playing close to his best rugby...only worrying thing is that even currie playing at the level he is atm no one is pushing him out of the team or making there own claim for the his spot.

I'll say it again, he was judged to be MoM on Saturday. What more does he have to do to satisfy his critics?

Toby King is only just returning to the form he left during his bad injury and he's had a longer period of condition.

Consistently perform at a high level.

MoM against bottom of the league is hardly enough to satisfy those who think/know/hope he can perform much better. If it's the start of a series of high performances, then I'll be a happy man. If he plays his best game against a poor(ish) team who aren't challenging at the top of the table, it doesn't mean much.

I can recall someone on here calling Currie a coward pre-injury, probably the same person who told me all Phil Blake ever did was score tries.

I repeat, Currie is the most skilful player at the club and his best years are still to come.

Currie hasn't cost us a game, a league placing or a place in the cup and we should be chuffed he's still fit to play. One more similar injury and it's career over. Currie deserves a season's grace due to his proven class and real class it is.

Well said! Brought a tear to my eye that.
