Opinion Angus Crichton

[red-dog]

Angus Crichton coming off contract next year and the news is that Roosters might look like letting him go (https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nr...s/news-story/4f43ac458ced8b14eb0422c149a6eea6)

Thoughts on having a go for Crichton for 2022? Our second row stock isn't particularly strong particularly in strike power. To be honest, I'd be against a move for Crichton. Although he's a gun, he would command massive pay which would better used elsewhere. But I do think we need a strike second rower, especially since we lost CHN.

We've had success when we've developed our own forwards rather than spending a fortune buying them (Trex, Napa, Woods)....

Maybe we've got some young guns coming up?

Pass

Would rather keep the spot open for Jackson Topine.

This. I'd rather see blokes like Doorey get some decent time and effort invested into their development. If the chooks are looking at letting Crichton go it is because he is on massive coin and it can't be justified. We can't be spending $600k+ on players for every area of the park, we'd lose all depth.

Angus Chricton has never played better. I would start him on NSW Origin team. Unfortunately, we have stacked our team with second rowers, so we can't take him.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

I would try and get him this season, rather him than JAC.

 

[GA45]

He’s on a million dollar deal at the roosters they can have him

 

[B-Train]

He's a great second rower, definitely one of the best in the comp. But he'd be looking for 800k plus and considering how much we already have tied up in our pack, I think he's out of our price range considering we need to put money aside for another half, a hooker and maybe a fullback.

 

[c-b-b]

The next signing needed is a hooker. If we can't get one in 21 we need to find someone decent in 22. To do that we can't outlay massive money in positions where we have/can cover.

Why does it feel like things aren't all that rosy at Bondi. I see them on the decline.

Politis must be crying in his glass of Moet Chandon while getting his butler to fetch him the playing roster and jewel encrusted red pen

 

[doggieaaron]

No thanks i reckon tbaz will get stimson firing

Yeah he needs a off season at the Sharks to pack on 10kgs.

[TABOO]

Been playing well but would cost too much. That money MUST go to a good #9.

 

[Mitch Connor]

Fucking oath

 

[Raysie]

Yeah, really good player and was in career best form in 2020, but his price tag and position just isn't a priority.
