Time to debut Currie

[Cheer Squad]

Agree, he's been around long enough.
Surely he has earned a call up, soon.

Either that, or trade/de-list him.

He's been around too long not to have made his seniors debut.

Can anyone seriously imagine Currie competing with Leuenberger or Clarke ? I think we've all been watching too may "Hack comes good and wins the day" movies.

The man speak sense ^

Now or never for Currie, we need LRT down back to help out with Brown and Clarke and to be our Soccer Goalie.

Currie was drafted in 2006, one of the two in our senior list who have not yet debut. ( The other one is Lamb who is a first year draftee currently injured.)

LRT is not a good enough ruckman and his best position is playing the back. LRT ranked 38th in average HO this year with 6.3. (Mummy is fifth with30.8)

Seaby is not too outstanding as well. (He had just 19 HO last week which roughly should rank 20th ) In terms of Time on Ground, Seaby only had 66% and LRT at 67% last week, comparing to Mummy's average of 81.8% this year! Unlike Mummy, Seaby has not played significant more time on the field after the new sub rule. He was hardly seen in the 4th quarter last week. Endurance problem?

Brisbane has two very good ruck man. Leuenberger is ranked 7th with 30.3 average HO and McCauley ranked 16th with 20.7 HO this year.

So Seaby needs a decent ruckman to help!

Currie was named one of the best in the last reserve match and earned praise from Playfair for shouldering the ruck duty almost alone after White was injured.

Currie has played as Ruck/forward in the reserve matches just as RLT is currently used in the seniors.

Pyke and Mummy will be back very soon and if Currie don't debut now, it will be very difficult to get a chance again. We should let him show what he is capable of.

So Currie and TDL IN this weekend with AJ and Parker OUT.
RLT moves to the back and AJ should try as a forward/ruck in the reserve. In AJ's own words in the last draft, he is "a persistent, hard working forward who has the versatility to play as a defender or midfielder. My defensive pressure is a key point of my game." It is a good chance for him to try playing forward and expand his learning/
