Good news is Crichton is having a career year and should give us good value in both attack and defence, more importantly, he will bring an air of confidence with him and he’s a natural competitor.
Salmon and Taaffe are also natural competitors and we are getting them at their peak performance age - adding Salmon has had a career year at Penrith.
The new blood will give the current Group an injection of hope, guidance and confidence being experienced campaigners. If we can somehow manage to get 2 capable middles and go nuts for 2-3 marquees for 2025 we’ll be in a good position for setting up success… in 2-3yrs time, our Flegg boys will be ready too which also helps.
