Radio commentators were applauding his performance yesterday. Ben also said in a recent interview he felt like he was getting back to his old self.

I've read Price's comments and he seems to agree with OP. If Currie can't play well against the bottom club in Super League then that would be worrying. But one swallow does not a summer make. He's not offering the Currie who broke through a few years ago and he's got half a season of recovery under his belt, I'm expecting better from him each week. The good news for Currie is, we're only comparing him against the own high standards he set himself, so it's not outside the realms of possibility for him to achieve them.

I'll quite happily give Ben two years to get back to his best because it will be worth it.

Even the occasional glimpse has shown that in terms of skill he is still head and shoulders above all our other forwards and most if not all the backs. With O'Loughlin now a game limited prop, Ben could reasonably claim to be one of the most skilful backrowers in the British game.

In terms of finding a pass, the [iright[/i pass, to open a defence he still has the best timing and soft hands of anyone at the club, including Austin.

Yeah i think he's just a squad player at the moment and doesn't really stand out anymore, but he's clearly doing what he needs to do as he would be dropped if he was a liability. He's had more than long enough now to be fully fit and his leg is clearly not an issue anymore, so it may simply be a confidence thing which can take a long time to fully recover from. I'm hoping he finds his form again as he was a potent strike player for us and upped our level as a team.

The business end of the season hasn't begun yet, I'll reserve judgement on BC until our year is done.

He's not immune from criticism, certainly not on here, but it's not like he's going through a period of bad form with no other factors.

I don't really get why he's starting every game. Think it would have been a better idea to rotate him, give his mind and body a rest after such an injury nightmare.

I'm on the side of being patient. He's not even in his prime yet. I still think he has the potential to be a star player.

If he's still playing at this level this time next year, I'll be a lot more critical. I suspect he'll be a lot better.

He's not back to his best yet but he certainly isn't being carried either. Maybe we expect more but he's had a good run of games to get confidence in his body and was excellent prior to his injury problems. He needs more confidence in his game now.

Quote: PISol "There are plenty of posts on here criticising current players some with and some without justification in my opinion. The purpose of this post is not intended to be controversial but inviting genuine debate about Ben Currie. IMO he offers little to us at the moment but appears to be immune from criticism from the majority because he was potentially a player we all identified as a superstar. It isn’t Bens fault that he suffered the injuries he has done and equally he has done incredibly well to come back from them but he is a shadow of his former self . There is nobody more than me that hopes he returns to the level he was once at but sadly at the moment he is a million miles away from that .'"


Totally agree with this, 14 games in and still no threat, not so sure if this was another player they would of been given this amount time to prove themeselves. What I don't understand is why are they all so immune from getting game time elsewhere after a bad injury or being dropped and yes bit worrying if this the first time he has shone against bottom of the table team.

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.

Ben, is not back to his stella best but he does not do any worse than a good number of our pack. Someone says he offers no threat from 2nd row, but it's not as if Hughes is tearing it up in that department either. I cannot see he is causing us to lose games. Who would we replace him with in any case?

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.
