Bulldogs Sign 21 Year old Winger for 3 Years - Christian Crichton

[dogwhisperer]

It's almost a blessing after the neglect in youth the last idiot had that we are forced to return to some roots. Giving some kids a break may just unearth the next big thing for our club. Who was the last one, $BW??

GrogDog, our club was hijacked! Our DNA is slowly comming back

These are going to be the type of signings we have in the next few years. As long as they show promise I don't mind.

Although his stats aren't great - averaging 100 run metres and 28 tackles (14 missed).

I guess it's between him and Olive for that wing spot next year.

Crighton for BMoz basically.. FMD.. I understand the signing because we cant afford anyone established

Would love to hang onto the Morris bros for 2 more years

I swear at this guy every week when i watch the Panthers play. Perfect signing for us.

That’s legit why I didn’t like him. He’s aesthetic af though let’s be real.

[Feendogz]

Well he dropped the ball over the try line last night and i wanted SC points ffs.

SAME! Very annoying

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Fair call. Can relate to Super Coach frustration.

In all seriousness he was a very highly rated junior. Has an error in him though.

 

[doggieaaron]

My panthers mate said hes their 4th choice winger
Apparently we are paying him with bitcoin

I dont mind him seems to have speed and a little madness in him. Not bad for the $$ he would be on. Errors SHOULD lesson with age.

He's probably the best we could hope for in our current situation. I do wish Smith was better defensively as he would be perfect on the wing for us.

I honestly know bugger all about this guy as a player. But I'll happily see us sign some guys who might never make it, as opposed to guys who had already shown they weren't making it elsewhere. I'm thinking of guys like Jonathan Wright and Brown who were solid fill ins, but never had anything in terms of the potential like we used to see bought to the club.

Only 4 players to go till we fill the top 30 now! We are so thin in the outside backs next year so we had to sign someone. This is where the people that are saying the salary cap thing isn't that bad are wrong we are replacing Bmoz with this guy.

Plenty of people on here thought B-Moz was a poor value for money signing with his age and the potential for him to spend a significant portion of the season on the sidelines with injury or possibly being away for rep duties. I love the Morris brothers and think they've both served us well, but personally thought that you can't spend huge money on wingers. I've always thought that those wanting us to chase Mansour were just a bit mad.

At some stage we have to face the fact that we need a succession plan in place for big money players or aging stars. You can have the best winger in the world and they won't make a huge amount of difference to an average winger if they aren't getting plenty of opportunities from the creative players in the squad. So I'd prefer we go for cheaper options in positions like the wings while we sort out a better balance of cap payment into our spine. By going for youngsters we're potentially going to see someone that will reach their potential here and eventually move on. But it's a necessity to chase these cheaper options right now while we move towards sorting our squad balance out.

So man whore resigning with the panthers has made his decision and easier one? He looks pretty good for a 20 old. Better than Montoya and cheaper than Morris. Good signing

 

[KiwiDog7]

He’s fast
That’s unusual for outside backs at Dogs

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Does he have Bulldogs DNA but

 

[timetopisshasleroff]

Great signing, best part is no journos had a clue, grab Isaako for other side while there at it.

Not so bad that we need to panic and start shedding players whose departure would set us back even further.....I don't think anyone's saying we won't struggle next year. Morris brothers will be a huge loss. No denying it.

 

[Flanagun]

Great signing. Astute by McDonnell.

Those who don’t rate him take no notice of. Likely the Pay hating Cleeland loving leb crew

Pay is a club legend and Cleeland is.....well, he's not. Dafuq is wrong with people? Lol

 

[Flanagun]

Considering our financial position, I'd say this is an astute piece of recruiting. Well done to the club.

 

[Howard Moon]

Great signing.. he was solid last night and looks like a tough competitor.
