why would u want a fullback from the worst team in the comp that doesnt want him and gets ragged dolled every time he is tackled?
Absolutely, but if we are only comparing the two their prices for the fullback I'd rather Laurie, and the reason
1. He is a fullback and Crichton hasn't set the world on fire when he played there.
2. Laurie comes at half the price and potentially he can be beefed up like Teddy did.

crighton is a winner mate and will be a very good fullback. We wont pay overs to him as he cant play fullback at penrith. Last contract he stayed for less money to play with his mates, the roosters offered more than us.
potential to be a superstar at fullback imo.
Stephen Crichton was re-signed for $600k a season for 3 seasons ... I don't know if that's "stayed for less" considering he was only ever seen as a center / winger lol

And why would you want an overrated system merchant on a huge contract to play in a position he's totally untested in?
he has played of fullback coming through the penrith system bud

Also, the two times Crichtons been in the clear during the WC in England, he has looked like he was running in sand. He has either lost some speed or isn't as quick as we all first thought.

Dylan Edwards is a real fullback, probably not the fastest fullback on legs but fast between the ears,
He is there backing up in attack,
He is there in defence.
Most importantly he is the one that organises the teams defence from the back, just look at Penrith's defence !

You are right, I wouldn't want to find out at his asking price.

Where? At training? u10's? Lol. Both Laurie and Staines started there ahead of him in SG, Flegg and reserve grade. He's totally untested at fullback and is blessed to have played in such a talented side that has made his job as easy as possible. This signing absolutely stinks, just another outside back looking for more money wanting to play in a key position. These type of moves fail far more often than they succeed.
