#3. Tom Curry (Sale Sharks)
- Age: 24
- Position: Flanker, Number 8
Greenwood wrote: “An absolute nuisance – the ultimate compliment for any openside. Fearless but with technique that keeps him relatively safe and away from the treatment table.
“With that level of commitment his work ethic away from the pitch to get himself ready and in good nick must be relentless.
“So compact and powerful over the ball at the breakdown. More comfortable as a runner in open space than he was and starting to show everyone a decent pair of heels. Smacks things – and people – who have the ball. Makes things happen when his team has it.”
Fast Tom Curry Facts:
- He, along with his twin brother Ben, is the son of Bishop Heber High School Head Teacher David Curry and nephew of former England hooker John Olver
- lIt is true that the brothers had a trial at Manchester City, who the twins support, but that was scuppered by Tom scoring a spectacular own goal. Probably for the best in the end.
- The easiest way you can tell Ben and Rom them apart is by their hair. Tom has his styled to the right while Ben has his swept to the left.
