you know things aren't right in the world when the vermin are winning the comp and stealing our promising youngsters, it feels like there is a massive disturbance in the force.
it especially sucks when the kid in question Angus Crichton has been a Roosters supporter all his life, its just dirty he is going to be playing for the vermin.
South Sydney have scored one back against rugby union following the departure of Sam Burgess, signing teenage Australian schoolboy Angus Crichton straight out of The Scots College.
Crichton, 18 and currently sitting the HSC, is a damaging centre or backrower who the Rabbitohs have poached from under the noses of archrival NRL club Sydney Roosters.
The Australian Schoolboys star has played the last three straight seasons in The Scots College First XV, winning the GPS championship this year undefeated after making a positional switch from no. 8 to inside centre.
Tipping the scales at 100kg and standing 187cms, what really caught South Sydney talent scouts eyes’ was the four games Crichton starred in for the Sydney Roosters SG Ball side earlier this year.
“I got injured last year and was out for three months and so I decided to email the Roosters to ask if I could do their pre-season training with them,” Crichton said.
“They very kindly took me in and then I ended up playing four games for them in the under 18s before I had to go back and play rugby union. They ended up winning the comp.”
Ironically, Crichton was a mad Roosters supporter as a youngster growing up 40km outside the NSW country town of Young, with Tricolours legends Brad Fittler and Craig Fitzgibbon his favourite players
South Sydney coach Michael Maguire has such a high opinion of the schoolboy prospect he has been included for the Rabbitohs pre-season trip to Arizona in the US to take part in a high altitude training camp.
“That will be pretty crazy. When Madge first called me up and told me I was going to Arizona I thought it was a prank call. It’s very exciting to get the opportunity to be part of such a great club,” Crichton said.
The Rabbitohs have led the way in talent scouting in the junior rugby union ranks in recent seasons, with rookie five-eighth Luke Keary also a product of Oakhill College in north-west Sydney.
