Currie keen to see Wembley up close

Correspondent

Warrington back rower Ben Currie wants to experience Wembley first-hand, after hearing so much about the famous stadium from his team-mates.

Nine of the current Wolves have Challenge Cup winners’ medals in their posession, and Currie wants to join their number.

His team play Hull KR in the Cup semi-final at Headingley on Saturday, and the 21-year-old is ready of the challenge of the Robins.

“The lads who have been there and done it before have spoken about how much of great occasion it is,” he said.

“It’s a massive build-up in the week leading up to it and people like Chris Hill and Richie Myler have talked about how great it is to play at such a big stadium.

“With them talking it up, I’d love to get there and win it, but we’re not looking too far ahead of ourselves. We’ve got to beat Hull KR first this weekend.

“There are no easy game in the Cup, no matter who you play.

Hull KR will be going into this confident they can beat us. They’ve got a good squad with players who can score from anywhere on the field.

“We’ve got guys who have been here and done it before so their experience is going to be important if we want to get to Wembley again.”
