What I'd definitely say about Currie, is that, just from his whole body language, he would be the last bloke I'd want to be alongside in the trenches.

If ever someone gives off the stench of going through the motions on a pitch, then it's him - it's no surprise that even now, as a senior player, whenever the captaincy role is discussed, he never gets a mention as a candidate.

I know there are footballers out there who say they don't actually like the game & only play it because they are decent at it & it earns them a living - I suspect Currie could be a RL equivalent of that from the vibe he gives off while playing.

[quote="Wires71":8xfew003]Reading on here it seems we are putting a lot of faith in Hayes who, after all, has played 11 1/2 games of top level RL.[/quote:8xfew003] It certainly does and it's a big ask given his age and lack of experience. In his favour, he is brave, confident, strong in defence and seems well organised with an eye for a pass and could be a really good foil for Williams. It still leaves us with no real long kicking game when we're looking to clear our lines when under pressure. From what I saw last season we have no-one with a decent long kick. That makes a difference in a tight game especially when someone like Harry Smith is in the opposition team. Hope he does really well this year and becomes a local legend. Burgess & others obviously rate him very highly.

Brilliant news, hope it's not just to fend off NRL clubs though.

Be surprised if his loyalty isn’t rewarded with vice captaincy. Williams captain.
