Agree EA, this wouldn't be a great signing considering we just got JDB. It's either elite or depth at this stage. Happy to spend money on and elite player and improve our quality, but also need some value for our depth... Curran is neither depth or elite.
If it's for 2027 when Curran is definitely available, he could be a good addition. We have quite a few forwards who potentially won't be here in 2027:
de Belin (36 in 2027) Guymer (23) Mataele (25) Paulo (34) Tuilagi (28) Walker (33)
I hope we keep Guymer, due to his age. But Paulo, Walker and JDB will all be getting pretty old by the end of next year. Do we want to keep them a year too long? Curran will be 28 that year. Still in his prime.
I think we have his body type position covered with Moretti, Hopgood and Guymer being of a similar mould. What we need is the Lindsay Smith, Keaon Koloamatangi, or Liam Henry type taller bigger forwards.
"This speculation and signing players for 2027 is bullshit. No other sport does it, and how can you really plan if you want to develop players. If we don't buy anyone and our juniors don't kick on we are screwed. If we sign someone and our juniors…"
"TCT report that the following were there:
Forwards: J’Maine Hopgood, Ryley Smith, Charlie Guymer, Sam Tuivaiti, Will Latu, Saxon Pryke, Jezaiah Funa-Iuta, Ryda Talagi, Teancum Brown, Tyrese Lokeni, Lachlan Coinakis
Backs: Joash Papalii, Richie…"

Wouldn't take him for any less than $900k.
Does this mean we need another Hock blog?
Lol. Was spotted at the airport after the second Ashes Test. Guaranteed now.
no, very average and we need better
Yeah he's fine as a bench option like say that 2022 team and we lost Oregon Kaufusi, he would be a nice replacement.
We need starters. Curran can play a role in this squad, but we have too many of that type.
He wont be an improvement to our full strength line up. He won't join us to be a depth player either. We need a middles for sure. But only:
We do not need any of those average forwards right now that would want decent coin as you say.
