I’m not he can come back from this now,damn shame he would of been England captain aswell as club captain at some point. It’s been pretty obvious since he first got the injury he as not been the same player, gutted for him.

I've heard its a different knee. He's been nowhere near his potential since he came back from the first injury. By that i mean hes gone from genuine sculthorpesque world class to being just very decent. Currently Livett offers more but we should lament the unfortunate loss of a player who was the modern day Mike Greg and a little bit more. If Currie comes back 50% he can still make a living.

Another on the Wires71 scrapheap.

It's gutting for it to happen again even if it's a different knee.

I'm less worried if it is different knee as he has shown the commitment and discipline to come back from one. If its the same one it leaves both Ben and the club with some tough choices to make.

Can we just hold back a little bit before condemning him to obscurity? Sympathy and fingers crossed for the future is my offering.

It’s the same knee but can be fixed. Ben’s a strong character and even on one leg he’s still a good player. If he keeps his chin up and takes the rest of the year out to recover there’s no reason he can’t come back fresh and ready for next pre-season... he may lose a yard of pace but his rugby brain will still be there.

I'm gutted for him, he's so incredibly unlucky with that knee. I hope he keeps his chin up, recovers fully and comes back stronger.

Maybe its time for him to exercise that rugby brain.
Young coaches seem to adjust with the coaching styles of modern football better than older ones it seems.

Not at all I hope he can recover. Just the odds are they he will not.

Who else is on this scrapheap that you refer to?

I know I have been critical of Russell and Tony Smith and glad we are shut of them.

so much talent. injured if I remember rightly diving on the ground scoring a try against Wakefield a few yrs back with nobody anywhere near him. Another Australian trait coached into the players. He could have easily just touched the ball down and been a world beater by now. Hope he does come back as he is a top player.

No I think he injured himself diving to score against Saints towards the end of 2016, can’t remember it being an unnecessary dive, think he dove through players to score?

It was against Wigan wasn’t it? And they came back and beat us with 12 men? At the end of the Super 8s?

It was the Wigan home game Sept 2016. Then in his second comeback game against Widnes in July 2017 he damaged it again. Injured it for the 3rd time in Feb 2018 against Wigan. Injured it for the 4th time in April 2018 against Bradford. www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/spo ... nightmare/

It was against Wigan and it happened before he dove - the ground gave way slightly beneath him, he twisted his knee and that was that.

Swinton ...Keith Holden ... Pothole all over again, absolute freak accident as these things often are.

Maybe he rushed back a bit early to prove his fitness for the WC but I'd personally pay for the best surgeon in the world to sort that knee; Ben's talent stood alone in a SL where average is lauded as genius.
