SECOND rower Ben Currie says he can still improve in a season he rates as his best to date.

The 22-year-old leads the club’s try-scoring charts with 12 league scores so far, just two behind his total for last year.

Currie says he targets double figures every season but stresses there is more to come from him.

“I’d say every year I’ve played I’ve improved, that’s what you expect when you play in Super League every week,” he said.

“You improve your game and find out different things about yourself so I’d definitely say it’s my best year but I know there is more to come and hopefully I can deliver it.

“I only got told at the beginning of pre-season that I was the club’s top try scorer last year so it’s not too bad for a back-rower.

“I’m hanging on to it just so far this season but I set myself a target of ten tries a year. If I do that for most of my career it adds up to a lot of tries.

“So far I’m meeting that target and I’m looking to kick on and get more as I go along.”

After a superb season last time out, Currie was named in the England squad for the three-test series against New Zealand in the autumn by then-coach Steve McNamara.

He didn’t manage to make an appearance in the 2-1 series victory, but many observers have touted him as a key player for new national team coach Wayne Bennett.

The Australian coach is currently in the UK to meet his players and take in several Super League games, including The Wire’s game with Catalans Dragons tomorrow, Friday.

While maintaining his full focus is on helping his team to bounce back from last week’s defeat to Hull FC, Currie says it represents a chance to impress Bennett.

“We’ve had the England meeting with Wayne and I think he might be at our game on Friday so it’s a good chance to make an early impression on him,” he said.

“When he speaks you listen, he’s done a lot in his career and I’m looking forward to hopefully playing under him.

“I can’t focus on that too much as there’s a game to win so I just want to do what I usually do and have a good game on Friday.”

Wolves will be looking to avoid back-to-back defeats against Catalans following last week’s 19-12 defeat to league leaders Hull.

Currie says the players must put the disappointment of their “worst performance yet” behind them in order to have the best possible chance against the French side.

“It was possibly our worst performance in what was the biggest game of the year but we have to put that to the back of our mind,” he said.

“We had a tough build-up to the game with injuries and not being able to get out on the field as much but we can’t use that as an excuse.

“The dressing room wasn’t a nice place to be, there was a chance there to get top spot back and we’ve ended up dropping to fourth so it wasn’t the best weekend for us.

“We usually bounce back very well from losses and there’s no better way to do that than against a big Catalans side.

“They’ve got some big lads up front so we need to stand up to that, I can see it being a bit of an arm-wrestle.

“It’s about who can stay in that arm-wrestle for longest, who can keep going when they’re tired to break the other team down and I’m confident that will be us.”
