I'm sure he could...3+ years ago.
He's struggling to regain anything near that form atm.
I expect it to take a season.

Currie to full back? Is that what is called “thinking outside the box”?

Currie at full back? Watching Saturdays game,he was easily brushed aside for two of KRs tries and was caught ball watching when they kicked through and scored.

You sure you was at the right game?

Mr Currie is, to a certain extent, trading on past glories right now. I would expect that his fitness is no longer the issue, he needs to rediscover some form.

Returning to Ratchford, the BBC are reporting a 12 week recovery with him expected back in August. In the meanwhile we'll just have to get on with things, we're still a lot better off than most teams with regards to major injuries / squad depth. Having Mamo and Lineham back this week is excellent timing. I've not seen any reports regarding the injury that saw Atkins go off but I'm expecting that Mamo will go straight to full back, Lineham to wing and Goodwin back to centre. I'd like to see Matt Davis back in for this week as I'm afraid Bennie Westwood is looking as though this year is a season too far.

Could this be a psychological problem? Going in ‘half cocked’ for fear of ending up back at square one perhaps?

I dunno, just a thought either way.

We've missed Lineham

Currie has been terrible these last few weeks, as bad as Patton but doesn't cop half the flack.

42 metres and 21 tackles he made on Saturday. That's nowhere near good enough for a player of his ability.

For context Joe Westerman made 132 metres and 38 tackles.

Thats nice. Still didn't play agaist KR at the weekend though did he?

I never said he did.

Currie is all about knocking off gametime. Comparing him to Westerman is hardly like for like as Westerman is playing 13 and will get through more work. Though granted I dont doubt that you could compare him to any other second rower on the pitch and come off worse on tackes and metres. Currie has never been a hard work second rower, he doesn't help out with the heavy stuff in the middle, he never has - its not his game. His game is all about running good lines and putting players in to space. We've only had glimpses of it so far, but dropping him or sending him to Rochdale isn't the asnwer for him. Currie isnt costing us games, he just isn't the pre injured version.... yet.
