BEN'S A PLAYER FOR THE AGES

The fans forget just that Currie is still only 29... but then he has been a top forward since he was just 17

HE is not old before his time, but England international Ben Currie admits people forget how young he still is.

Given he made his Warrington debut aged 17 and has been such a familiar face in Super League for so long, it is understandable why some feel he must be well into his 30s.

It is an easy mistake to make and Wolves second-row Currie said: "I've heard it a few times - but I've just turned 29!"

There is still plenty more to come, then, from the strong-running forward who impressed after being called up as a makeshift centre in Saturday's third Test win over Tonga.

Having played in England's 2017 World Cup final loss against Australia, he was overlooked by Shaun Wane for last year's tournament.
