Big doubt, stays at Panther with that offer.

Time for Averillo to show what he can do at fullback is over, you recruit a year in advance.
Reality is Penrith are pushed for cap space , does their CEO needs to clarify it more ?
Averillo will get his final chance at fullback, remember we as a club are priding ourselves on our junior and family values !
I have mentioned this before, this is coming from a reliable source that Crichton if or will be signed as a centre, the future will determine if there are changes, only time will tell !

Panther will offer 600-700k to Crichton, he's already in that range, we won't get him for that imo. Again you recruit 1 year in advance so have to go off what Averillo's already done, which is not enough. Almost all good players will be off the market soon. No way Crichton will be signed as a centre !

To be honest 600-700k is all his worth at this stage, that's all I'd be offering along with the chance to play fullback and make more money down the track if he's successful. If he doesn't take it then so be it, he's really not a big loss.

People forget that our desperate signings days are over !!!
Haven't we learned ?
We bought wings B. Morris and DWZ to play fullback...FAILED :frowning:

He won't go to the Dolphins. Word out of the Riff is he wants to stay in Sydney. Dolphins are just being used by Ayoub to inflate his price.

you wont get him for 600 -700k...i agree thats what he is worth as a centre but CC and Gould see him perhaps as our future fullback and are prepared to pay more...i still think he will stay with the panthers...they are just eaiting to see what the salary cap is before seeing if they can throw more money at him

He has made it clear he wants to play fullback. Plus we have Alamoti and Skelton coming through, Xerri signed for 2024 and Burns and Kiraz available as centres too. I think we are stacked in that department, can’t see Chrichton being signed to play anywhere other than fullback

I think he'll kill it at FB.

It will take time but he's only young.

Exactly. And doesn't the bit about wanting to play fullback and expecting to be paid more only work if you actually are an established fullback?

I agree. If he really wants to play FB you match Penrith’s offer. See how keen he is to come here. I don't like paying top money for a player on potential.

This is precisely why I believe my source,
1st He must prove himself before getting paid fullback's dollars,
2nd As talented as he is we all know there is more to playing fullback than just scoring tries.
3rd Gus and Co would have learnt from the other's mistakes,
I think all fans would be disappointed if we make the same mistake again especially if he fails, I know I would be !
