I think we should be happy about this, if we were to extend him it'd be for too much money. Even at half his current contract he's a massive gamble. I think it's best for him to go to a top team to try and rejuvenate his career because he's a finished player here. Even if he goes on to be decent (unlikely) he wouldn't of been able to achieve that here.

This blokes a tosser, 42 games in 4yrs and the way I’m interpreting it, “I’ll play for the Roosters for less” or “play for Canterbury at market value” - awesome way to repay the club that set you up financially with no return on investment

Firstly as if Rugby Australia would want Crichton after his issues this year. Has come good though last few weeks. Secondly Reed has about as much insight as Chammas....0.

These articles have been coming out for quite some time about him moving to the Roosters, yet it hasn't happened. I get why he would go their for a year, stronger team, reset your value if you look good. Obviously Roosters offer is quite low though and I'm sure someone like the Dragons are making offers that might be interesting enough to make you reconsider.

this clowns market value is only just above minimum wage anyway. Good riddance to this embarrassing signing. **** only played a handful of good games in the 42 game stint. Biggest turnstile in the NRL, no post contact meters and robbed us blind for four years.
