I like matt Davis but he's just not big enough. Clarke is wasting an overseas spot and Currie, hmm

Really pleased Currie has signed, 2020 was his best season since his injuries and with another preseason behind him, hopefully 2021 will be even better.

I don't think this has been mentioned before, but if we bought in another high quality prop to help with the grunt work then I suspect that we would be far less critical of both Clark and Davis. You would need to drop one of them anyway in order to play the new prop. Clark restricted to just tackling and cleaning up whilst using Davis in a scooting and back up hooker type role would be fine by me.

No surprises here. Clark and Davis are very similar and should not be on the pitch at the same time as they're both too small. Rather have just Davis, but we all know why Clark has a further 12 months. Currie has shown enough this season to merit another contract.

This, I agree totally Davis at interchange 9 is where I see his future. We desperately need another prop or 2 to see the best of all of the forward line.

I'd still love king to second row because it really opens up our play through the forwards and releasing the backs.

Really glad currie is signed up, he's had a good year another one injury free as well, he's very dependable in defence and attack. Just need a coach that believes in attack now.

Underwhelming news. I wouldn’t have been bothered if all three left to be honest.

I’m glad Currie has signed, definitely heading in the right direction. I’m a Matt Davis fan. He was totally misused agains Hull, he is not a battering ram prop. He does a job at back up hooker and back row interchange. I’m not sure what position Clark SHOULD play but I’m not convinced he is worth a quota spot, far too similar to Hughes for my liking. A Trent Waterhouse style second row would be far more useful.
I’m surprised no one has spotted yet that our real need is a quality prop, I really thought that the knowledgeable on here would have noticed this gap in our squad. Shame on you all!

I don't understand some of the negativity around Ben Curries deal. I realise it's generally thought I have something of a biased view where Ben is concerned and of course, there's that restraining order thing, but I maintain it's great news.

Now that his injury problems seem to be over, he has regained most of his pace and durability and he still has what very few backrowers have these days - the ability to time a well-placed pass and to hit a line with potency.

With SOL retired, Ben is the best ball handling back rower in the comp. Problem is, there are very few around him who seem able to put him in half a gap or a 1 on 1.

Good news on Currie
Fair play to Davis
Clark.... WTF
