Pretty good, but all powerful runners / speed and no ball playing

I think any of the talk over the last few weeks about SC have just been rubbish. If it did indeed come from SC's management, it would have been to squeeze the last few dollars out of the opportunity. If he has indeed signed with the dogs, I expect that Gus was not tempted by his management's shenanigans.

I am hoping that it was at a good price, and that we did not overpay for him. If what has been said about FB for 2023 and that Perham is outscoring Jake, it probably shows that Jake just didn't have it in him, and we needed to make a move for someone.

Fingers crossed and I hope this does not blow up in our faces.

Damn was hoping he’d stay. If he’s signed to us it’s potentially 2 seasons (23&24) of inexperienced and unproven players at fullback. Also with the figures rumoured overpaying for an unproven fullback.

Also how do we know he’ll be overpayed? Listening to the guru it’s more the fact he wasn’t offered anything at all that pissed him off.

While mixed emotions it comes down to trusting Gus and CC know what they doing.

Another thing in the back of my head is Crichton is only 22! Worst case he doesn’t nail fullback. He goes back to an edge of burton, kikau, Crichton Jac.. and hope that kid we rate so highly coming through is as good as hyped for fullback…

Is it confirmed he is coming to us yet? For all we know, he could be the Dolphins first marquee signing...

What’s this mean for Joash Papalii? I see him coming into first grade in the next few years and killing it, that’s it another club doesn’t now take him off us.

But then that means either Xerri or Alomati moves from centre. Basically puts a nail in the coffin for Kiraz at centre now for anyone that wanted him there, Skelton also.
