"I was absolutely gutted about the year," Curran lamented, reflecting on his time with the New Zealand Warriors.
The 24-year-old forward bared his soul, revealing the reasons behind his hasty departure from the Warriors and subsequent leap to the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs.
After a rollercoaster 2023 season filled with ups and downs, Curran expressed his dismay with the way things had unfolded at the Warriors, especially under the guidance of head coach Andrew Webster.
Feeling like he wasn't given a fair go, he made the tough call to pack his bags and embark on a new chapter.
Rumors swirled about Curran's exit being triggered by a breakdown in trust with the coaching staff at the Warriors.
Despite putting his body on the line in 23 matches throughout the season, he found himself spending more time on the pine than he would have liked, with stints in the NSW Cup casting a shadow on his aspirations.
While some initially speculated that homesickness was the catalyst for his sudden move, Curran set the record straight, declaring that his discontent ran much deeper than that.
In an interview with the NZ Herald, he laid bare his frustrations and made it clear that he was hungry for a fresh start with the Bulldogs, eager to prove his worth on the field.
