Official Stephen Crichton signs with the Bulldogs 2024

[Bulldogs09]

He's 26.

Soni Luke? Wow didn’t know that.

 

[Doggiezbrah]

It's a fking nothing game relax. Stop blowing your loads rarly

Exactly, it was the FG’s first hit out for the season.

 

[dogwhisperer]

Short lived?

3 straight GFs and back to back.

You guys are funny.

Yep, definitely not short lived in the modern day. Playing in three straight GF is very rare these days let alone winning back to back titles.

Edwards wasn't on a marquee context at the time, arguably still isn't.

That’s a different argument bro. Edwards was trash and was nowhere near the player he turned into. Give Critta a chance at FB and IMO he will excel.

It's my argument though. He's a huge gamble at fullback and hopefully people have realised that now. Even I'm sick of talking about him now

They have depth for days, but need to make good choices with their team selection - Mitch Kenny is rubbish (Soni Luke is better but he’s no Korisau), Dylan Edwards is grossly underrated and Kiks is a bigger loss to them than they thought.

You'll see how much of a loss Kikz is when u see him run around for us... Guy is heads and shoulders above any other backrower in the game.

850k = MONEY WELL SPENT

I think it is a gamble but I reckon it will come off. He is a class player

Will give Burton a nice line option and space too. I reckon he also gives Alamoti a nice intro to first grade as well

 

[Nate DAWG]

Maybe

Trust me. I’m rarely wrong lol

 

[2144superman]

That's going to be me in the morning trying hold it all in after Newcastle beat us 1-0.

Oh man DONT! idk why but I have a good feeling. I think we'll do them.

 

[Kempsey Dog]

They have Peachy to come back in too with Martin Edwards & Sorrenson. I think they’ll still be top 4.

Bit of an unsung hero Sorenson, cleaning up and doing the dirty work

Its crazy what he offers... Attack and defense.

Panthers are stupid tbh.. Would have thrown the bank at him and released another 2.

 

[judyisapunk]

Cleary: Panthers fans won't turn on Critta

after one loss: it's all Critta's fault

 

[craigo]

Couldn’t give a shit how he goes this year. Hope he plays bad for them and they miss the finals. Stuff the panthers

Same

 

[Noeasyday]

Trust me. I’m rarely wrong lol

So you're not married then?

British backs are notoriously shit in the NRL, with few exceptions.

For every Dominic Young, and Brian Carney- there’s at least 2/3 who have come and failed:

Richie Mather, Ryan Hall, Oli Gildhart*, Sam Tomkins, Zac Hardaker

There is no doubt that more Great Britain forwards have had success in the NRL but there are plenty of backs that have succeeded for example Jonathan Davies, Ellery Hanley, Tommy Bishop, George Williams etc.

Always a Bulldog

Honestly I thought be was pretty good, that last error was just brilliant tackling by Hurrell. With out the crichton bomb at the end the game wouldn’t have even gone to extra time.

 

[InGusWeTrust]

His stats make an interesting read in NRL.com
- most runs and run metres in the team
- equal highest tackle breaks
- highest post contact metres
- 1 less error than Cleary
- no missed tackles [emoji3]

The point? Relax, it’s 12 months before we get him…

Add the try of his bomb. I’m not worried at all by his performance. In fact a lot of the core fullback qualities he already has at a decent level. One catch he tried over his shoulder he knocked on and the one where the tackler hit him under the ball, anyone would have dropped it.

Give him a lot more time at the back and he’ll be fine.
