Will Angus Crighton sign?

[Thirteen]

I'd love latrell to spend his career at the roosters, but i agree

I don’t want LM going anywhere. We need X-factor.

[The Skeez]

Just got told we're very, very close to securing a 4yr deal. Final touches only left on the contract apparently.

To be announced before Xmas.

Hope I'm not wrong on this one because like most I think he's an exciting prospect.

Starting in 2018?

It seems as though everyone is skirting around this crucial question Thirteen.

All this talk for a player to potentially arrive over a year away..
why would souths let him go at this late stage? Unless Russ has had another boozy get together at Nana Glen.

I think the Roosters would too.
He is the most aggressive player the Roosters have so I dont think he will be going anywhere.

They probably wouldnt if it was up to them. But his manager knows that the Roosters will pay more & Crighton himself knows that there is more chance of winning comps at the Chooks.

2019. 4 year deal with the 4th year in his favour as an optional.

Yet to be seen what Souths will do if/when it gets announced, only a month ago it looked like he had all but re-signed.

Can't see them granting him a release to us though.

I wonder if the Roosters will give him any Roosters gear to wear since he has given away all his Souths gear.

Beyond next year, I haven’t decided. There’s pressure from a lot of different directions. You get the fans, you get the club, you get the players, but at the end of the day you’ve got to trust yourself and your own instincts and I’m not ready to make that decision yet.
I’ve got three-year offers from Souths, the Roosters and the Sharks.
It’s a big call to make, and I don’t have to decide right now. I haven’t put a time frame on this.
Some nights I’ve thought about it and wanted to make a call so I could just focus on my footy and put it all to bed. But if you’re not sure you shouldn’t rush it. It’s not an easy thing, weighing up the pros and cons for each club. I haven’t put a time limit on it, nor have I ruled anything out.

Great article.

The bit about growing as a player and winning premierships.

He will be a rooster.

Thanks Fletch for posting the link....well worth to all to read it and realize apart from his football what a really nice guy and decent person Crighton is.....

Article from Toups in there too.

[Tommy Smith]

A very impressive young man. He'd be a great presence at the club for Latrell I feel.

And yes, the whole line about playing rep footy, being the best he can be and winning Premierships - to me that's a big indication.

Souffs are on the decline where as we'll be a force for years to come.

[Lydon]

Based on that article it seems a foregone conclusion Crichton will be at Easts

[fletch]

this quote doesn't describe the environment at the vermin.


"People tend to think it’s all about money. It isn’t. Like any player, I have ambitions to win a premiership and play State of Origin and Test football. I need to grow as a player, so I need to be in the best environment to make that happen."

[Waylander]

We could, and should, offer him some help in setting up his charity and some business mentoring from Uncle Nicks contacts. Not the sort of thing the Vermin or Sharks could do.
