Opinion Crichton or Staggs

[Rassayri]

Has anyone heard anything on who it might be or any ideas or thoughts on that ?

I feel if we get a gun centre it pushes averillo out so id like us to persist with him tbh

If cotric works I prefer Crichton as centre combo but i staggs is better at this stage.
Joey Manu is the best centre by a mile .. He is both them players in 1.
The rumour of us chasing staggs. Imagine the power centre combo we can haven . Would love to have seen a team with McCracken n Idris lol.
The crazy n lazy power combo.

wow I never rated idris when at our club and was so happy when he left!

He had a huge upside but wasn't into the work. But i was talking about power. Staggs n cotric power combo. I was being a little sarcastic.

I personally don’t see the hype with Crichton but will happily be proven wrong if he excels in his second season. I think penrith are crazy with the money they are throwing at him but Ivan is a fuckwit after all

If they're a player/prop coming off contract there is basically only Guler available. Leniu, Flegler and Guler were the big 3 I thought we'd target. 2 of them locked up now. There is also Rudolf and Tatola off contract but they're a level below imo.

I reckon staggs but crighton is still very young at could be the best center in the game but I would go for staggs

Many fans (me included) really enjoyed watching Idris. He had one of the best fends. I remember him getting the edge over Inglis in a game or 2 also.

 

[Bulldog1966]

Lazy, wasted his talent and underachieved big-time he could have been a true beast.Wasn't the first won't be the last...

Exactly, Crighton is the future. He is only 20 years old. Imagine this kid in a few years time. But the dogs would need to fork out 800k a year to get him to Belmore. Not happening!

 

[MountMontoya]

Crichton is a pretty ordinary defender

Both centres are brilliant in their own right but personally at 700k plus I'm not sure that is what our club is seeking to balance the squad. I've been happy to see they picked up some good players at reported good prices.
Like many have said if there's a good hooker available then that's where the 700 or 800k should be thrown. If our new spine somehow clicks then their value dramatically increases and we potentially could be decimated because we can't offload 700k+ centres of our books. I feel we got lucky that we're in a position to slowly offload excess money wasters in our squad and replacing them with better younger and cheaper quality for now.
I hope the club has a system in place to make sure we're never in this position again where we had an impotent spine.

He got offered massive dollars to leave us and he took them. Most people would. If he had stayed with us his career may have lasted longer though. I
remember a City V Country game (when he was playing for the Panthers I think) and he was the best player on the field among a lot of great players.

yeah but many will fans thought josh renoylds was a great 5/8 including some so called bulldogs mates of mine.
No idea he was rubbish played with heart but no skill!

idris was big and strong but shit

 

[albatross]

I’ve seen Staggs carrying the Broncos on his back from the centre’s and still only in his early 20s. Hes a genuine leader as well as great player.

 

[kaluah8123]

I would prefer Chrichton myself but I am basing that on durability. Assuming both stay healthy through a season I think Staggs can have more impact. I would be stoked with either of them tbh.

Agree on Reynolds. Only thing he had going for him was unpredictability.

 

[Scoooby]

I went Christian based on the silky skills he seems to have (elusive) not saying staggs does not,either just my pick ! Both would be top notch at the end of the day..!!
