Opinion Crichton the Slug

[flamebouyant]

Eventually, yes. However he's coming to play fullback, will flop and we'll be left with an overpaid centre offering us very little value.

There are loads of centres on 700k plus. Get over it.

 

[Robbothedestroyer]

Crichton will certainly add quality to our backline next year. If doesn’t work out at the back we need class centres just as much as we need a fullback.

Waste of money.

Little value as a Center!!. you’re on some heavy shit like @Flanagun @Nasheed @04 Dreaming @AlzzBulldog for your sake take a break.

The great Crichton to Fullback or Centre debate rages on.

To me it’s a non argument either way, here we are a team struggling at the bottom of the ladder, pitiful defence, pitiful attack, last in nearly every stat in the game, we go out and buy arguably the best attacking/defensive centre in the game … and say … yea, arrr … we might try you at fullback see how that turns out …

Most have seen him play FB, and those that have would say he’s going to need time to see if he can become a top FB …. so instead of having a rockstar attacking/defensive right centre and that position now filled with an elite player, we instead cross our fingers and hope another player can learn to get better in a different position so they can do a top job for us there …

Meanwhile wouldn’t we still be lacking an elite attacking/defensive right centre ?

I think it highlights one of our biggest problems … let’s move you here, let’s manufacture you into this position, your playing good footy on the left side so let’s move you to the right side see how you go there to accommodate this other player … it’s ludicrous …

If Crichton is tried at FB and the experiment fails, he’s lost a whole preseason building cohesion in his elite position with his winger and outside backs.

If you are lucky enough to buy an elite player, wouldn’t it make sense to put them in their elite position where they’ll be able to play to their proven strengths, tick that position of as filled and then move onto the next position that needs attention until you have a top competitive squad …

The question to ask is, why wasn’t SC the Panthers FB, because he’s an elite centre, leave him there and now find an elite FB, then you have 2 elite players in 2 positions … it’s not rocket science …

Those saying it’s all about the higher pay packet, need to check what other elite centres are on … what we’ve offered him is on par …

Yes he offers us little value. Like I said before, what has the so called best winger offered us these last two years?

 

[Roger the alien]

Ffs just play him at centre, he's been one of the nrls best centres for several years now and only our club would be dumb enough to buy the best centre and play him out of position.

 

[King Gus]

Waste of money.

Is it your money?

Jac was our highest try scorer last year

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Jac was our highest try scorer last year

And? Averillo has regularly been at the top of our attacking stats yet fans don't want him.

Who said he will be playing fullback?
Gus on his podcast said he came wherever is best for the team nothing was spoken about playing fullback.

Excellent recruitment. Sign a player without actually knowing where you're going to play him

He's coming here to play fullback, Gus has even let that slip.

 

[King Gus]

So a winger doing his job and being our top scorer is a waste of value and money?
Lol bro I’m answering your question.

Yes, because any half decent winger could do the same.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Watch his podcast

I have and he has let it slip before. Gus talks so much shit that he can't keep track of what he even says anymore.

No they can’t

Well maybe Gus changed his mind that’s why taaffe was bought in.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

No they can’t

They can, I've seen it before!

 

[King Gus]

They can, I've seen it before!

No they can’t fox has speed and has burnt plenty of players to score try’s.
