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.
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.
