Crichton has officially informed lol@souffs

[Vasco]

Souffs fans are furious.

Life doesn't get much better.

That $1m a year is a load of shit spread by Souffs so Richo and Crowe aren’t strung up in Redfern like Mussolini and his girl. Think about what a devastating blow this is for Souffs. They were building their whole future on him. He was the only one they put as much time into image stuff last season as they had with Burgess previously. It’s glorious. Actually, glory glorious.

Massive blow.

But they chose to outlay big $$$ for the Burgass trio............haha.

Suck it up Richo. Your recruitment and retension sux deluxe. I hope they punt him!

Souffs continue to go backwards. Bottom eight again next year . LUV IT !!!

I hope he stays on for the next ten years.

Souffs saying he left for a more lucrative offer to save face.

Correct but no mention of any dollar value or amount.

[Salvatori Grubber]

[Original Stumpy]

Fair exchange ... we passed on Joe Burgess and sign Cooper Cronk
lol@souffs pass on Angus Crichton and sign Robbie Farah.

Now who's glad you support Easts?

That's for sure!

Just watched a report on NINE, saying in these exact words that ......Crighton only left because of the money .....and Souffs saying they just couldn't match the offer......as if they are being the victim.....I would love to hear them say they don't think he is worth what the Roosters paid, and give him an early release. I think it could happen. Hilarious. Crighton is an obvious target for us as Aubbs is getting near the end of his career, and will probably get a good offer from another club and I reckon we could be looking at letting Matterson go if that's necessary.

[Nathan Aboud]

I think Aubbo will go after next season. Can’t have him and Cordner and Crichton.

I think we can, don't we get salary cap exceptions for players who debut for a club and has stayed there for 10 seasons or more? Mini got it, Lockyer got it, and Cam Smith is getting it now as well....

[Kingbilly]

I think he left for 3 reasons.
1 - He wants to win more games than he loses and wants an opportunity to win a comp
2 - Fat Richo is a dick and is killing the club
3 - Has no faith in the new back stabbing coach

[Darkone]

Im not sure my self but if I was Boyd what do you do?
He has injuries ..may slow him up ..may shorten his career .Risk there on long term deal.
Has a huge Heart as a player
Will Captain OZ soon.
He can extend his current deal etc at easts and be loyal etc and his life will be set by Unc Nick.
He can take a deal at Newcs for 5 years short term money solution ...and like I said somewhere else settle into a dope selling career at Raymond Terrace.
Unfortunately if a footballer is dumb he takes the short term life deal ...you cant blame them thats the bait.
he has seen first hand you can be flicked quite easily ...eg Pearce .
The Boss is Ruthless but he looks after players that are genuine and love the club.

Cords big heart has killed his legs

[Darkone]

souths fans are demanding punishment for Gus,

my money is on an early release

[Tommy Smith]

An early release in return for Fergo and we then sign Folau

After Teddy Cronk and the Angus Burger that'd be the funniest of the lot for fan reaction

[BallyChook]

Does the fact that we haven't officially announced anything yet point to a deal possibly being done for Crichton to come in 2018?
