Opinion Curran Could Be Our Carrigan

[InGusWeTrust]

Very impressive performance from Josh last night which made me think of Pat Carrigan. What Curran offers is similar and he has a similar build, but he’s not quite at that level yet. He stepped up big time though in King’s absence.

Played 58 minutes - 18 total runs (16 hitups) for 156m, 51pcm, 2 tb, 1offload and 35 tackles with only 1 missed.

If he can produce like that consistently we’ll be onto a winner.

In my opinion, he's better than Carrigan. He offers more

He’s an engine room for sure, not at carrigans lvl yet for mine but not far off.

I think Carrigan has more bulk which helps with impact but being leaner should make Curran fitter. For a big man Pat has a big motor.

If Ciraldo does not want to start Sam Hughes, then Curran could keep his starting prop position (when Preston & Kikau are occupying the edges), leaving the 13 open for Mann.

Salmon is bench at best, and should be there only for balance, if needed at all.

He's been one of the form players in the comp for me because you've got to consider he's one of a couple of experienced big boys in one of the lighter packs in the comp.. he makes a case for top 3 Bulldogs every week.

We replaced tpj with this guy and saved coin, Curran has already put in more work then tpj did in his entire stint at the dogs.

Yeah it’s that consistency we have lacked for so long.

Carrigan's a bigger body and can do it in the middle for 80 minutes no issue. Curran is effective in the middle for 50-60 minutes. I'd say he's closer to Cotter than Carrigan.

I don't mind Curran coming of the bench because we don't want our middles to lack in quality once the starters come off. I think we should be aiming to always have one of King and Curran on the field.

Well anyway he's great. He's Curran. He's ours.

Between King, Curran, & Hughes, I think that's a front row rotation that can play big minutes between them. Curran could even shift back to lock to allow all three on at once if you want.

Then, from the bench you've get a mix of Faamausili, Patolo, Kautoga, Morrin et al playing their cameos.

My Bulldogs Gran who took me to the games used to call out "Berry 'em" lol

Edit: so many opposition fans used to look twice....I don't think they realised the play on words lol

 

[alwaysthesun]

I wonder if Madge has an eye on Curran.. wouldn't look out of place in that arena the way he's playing... be good for his sake but we do need him on the field for us.

Fuck that's a bold statement

I hope not , I am hoping we will be close to full strength around Origin time.

And that right there is why Gus is on the big bucks. You could combine TPJ and Thompsons out put for their entire stints at the dogs and Curran has already gone around them for way less money.
