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.
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.
