It can be good or bad for players coming into a contract year, but I\u2019m comfortable with it and happy with where it\u2019s at.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cWhether it\u2019s done before the season or whether it goes into the year, I\u2019ll just try and keep performing and let that take care of itself.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Having ticked beyond the 300 appearance mark in Warrington colours during 2025, Currie was on track to be the only Wire player to appear in every Super League match before opting to bring forward bicep surgery, meaning he missed the final four matches.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  It also meant he took himself out of the running to play for England in the Ashes series against Australia, with the now-former national team boss Shaun Wane a known fan of his versatility.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  What that decision did do, however, was give Currie the chance of a full and unhindered pre-season \u2013 and he says he is already feeling the benefits.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cI think I missed the last three or four games and my off-season, but I was good to go by the time pre-season came around,\u201d he said.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cFrom a club and personal point of view, it probably wasn\u2019t a bad time to get an injury.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cIf our season was going better and we were in the play-offs, I\u2019d have pushed that surgery back, but it made sense to try and get a better pre-season into this year to do it there and then.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cThe body\u2019s feeling really good \u2013 we\u2019ve had a bit of fitness testing this week and I feel 21 again!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Having spent the entirety of his senior career at The Halliwell Jones Stadium, the forward has no plans&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":383254,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[5903,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-383253","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-rugby","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/383253","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=383253"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/383253\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/383254"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=383253"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=383253"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=383253"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
