So why is the coach picking himi? Is Powell not watching the same highlights as you? And Wane? Does he not watch Wigan vs Warrington games?

It’s the same try, but you can see it with whatever opinion you want. The fact you that you want that try and see only Currie at fault confirms the point that some people just want to find a scapegoat. Williams comes out of the line, out of position traveled in-front of Currie. If Currie carries in forward, clashes with Williams people would be on here saying “Williams would have smashed him if Currie didn’t get in the way”, but Currie wasn’t in the way, Williams was.

Williams doesn't run I'm front of him and why would I want to see anyone in particular to be at fault. I have no personal gripe with currie. This reminds me of when people started saying penny was useless in defence and people wouldn't accept it, it was everyone round him leaving him out to dry. Currie is no longer good enough as far as I'm concerned, no scapegoating going on here, he isn't responsible for the last 2 defeats but more and more people are noticing his shortcomings hence this thread. You think he's fine I get that, I could argue that that is blinding you to his shortcomings. We are just going round in circles.

Some of it may be down to his serious injury, but he doesn't put his hand up to make hard yards when we need a bit of help. For all his faults, Matautia was running in hard, and other less physical players including Ashton and Thewlis when he came on.

I've also seen him show, sometimes, a lack of commitment in the tackle but also take the point that it's difficult to truly single out players for missed tackles when the defensive line has perhaps failed.

Currie would be ideal alongside Benny Westwood and the rest of that pack around 2011, but, for me, he's a handy bench player if we can find a powerful second row alongside Nicholson. He's great if the going is good, but I think we need more if we're going to compete on a consistent level. Would Saints or Wigan have him in their side? I don't think they would.

Rewind 3 weeks and weren't we all waxing lyrical about the Currie/Nicholson second row?

Or did I dream that? Would make a change from that dream about Jo Blythe that keeps waking me up.

Don’t you mean Jo Brand

Agree Morrisseyisawire. When we've a strong pack available, he is good. The question is, can we rely on always having a strong pack present, and if not, he's going to be a weak link.

i assumed he meant matty blythe
