It might very well happen but I reckon Ready got this mail off the kennel.

It might very well happen but I reckon Ready got this mail off the kennel.

When considering everything it's a very realistic signing and makes sense. All Ready said is "I wouldn't be surprised" and "Crichton wants to play fullback". He's just putting 2 and 2 together. That's all you need to do to be a journalist.

 

[AlzzBulldog]

Oh its happening. The Bulldogs spine in 2024 will be:

1. Stephen Crichton
6. Matt Burton (GK)
7. Jackson Hastings
9. Reed Mahoney

2024 we could win it all lol

 

[ddt192]

Can’t we just have Payne Haas for Christmas?

 

[AlzzBulldog]

Bring him next year CC

No way Penrith would ever allow that

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Massive waste of money, just the outside back version of Liam Martin.

Would you say this if avo wasn’t fullback

Trust me he didn't. I've heard his statements from another reliable source about a month ago. Ready is on the money.

 

[KingBurton]

Don't shoot the messenger.

 

[capt obvious]

Pass

 

[Froggo]

No thanks, we already have a fullback. But he can bring highway forehead with him to play 7 if he wants...

We don't have a fullback, we haven't had a fullback since Barber left. We have a nowhere man, doesn't quiet fit anywhere but in this current roster can't be left out. Anyone against Crichton never saw him coming through the grades. His a gun fullback and will be again.

 

[underdogsontop2246]

Lol, people think Avocado is a long-term fullback. He did nothing at halfback and now he's proving he can't do shit at centre, winger and fullback. He's a NSW cup player at best.

Yes I would. Crichton is a great athlete but imo is overrated and has benefited massively by being a part of that Panther squad much in the same way Martin has. Value is also another huge issue, bloke is already on overs yet we will probably have to increase his wage even more to get him over to play in a position he is completely untested in. There's also various other points like him being exposed in SOO, him being behind both Staines and Laurie at fullback in SG and Flegg. I also found an interesting stat from this season, Crichton has over 100 more runs than Averillo yet has only managed 3 extra tackles breaks...there's various was you can look at that but I think it tells a story.

 

[GoTheDoggies]

Crighton is too much of an athlete lets stick with the same mediocrity like the devastating Holltoya combo, bring back Montoya & Holland.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

We don't have a fullback, we haven't had a fullback since Barber left. We have a nowhere man, doesn't quiet fit anywhere but in this current roster can't be left out. Anyone against Crichton never saw him coming through the grades. His a gun fullback and will be again.

He was behind Staines and Laurie in the lower grades, he's isn't anything close to an established or gun fullback.

 

[GoTheDoggies]

Crighton is similar to Suaali with out all the jizz & hype of the media.

We need him to strengthen our backline it doesn't really matter where you play him. He has shown he can cover all positions 1 to 5.

 

[underdogsontop2246]

Suaalii has a PO (Player Option) for 2023. Should we sign him to play fullback?

 

[LFC Bulldogs]

I remember years ago the Rorters raiding our players and trying to emulate our success.
I don’t want us doing the same thing signing every Penrith players that’s off contract.

 

[GoTheDoggies]

Suaalii has a PO (Player Option) for 2023. Should we sign him to play fullback?

Yes. Rorters can't seriously keep playing him on the wing.
