Crichton has officially informed lol@souffs

[The Thracian]

He won't be there in 2019, Souffs fans are fuming on social media, I love it

[Random Rooster]

Does life get any better?

[ccfc bondi]

Official! He has signed a three year deal on huge money, according to the papers.

[ChookMaster]

hmm. Crichton to cover the loss of cords?

[RoosterFanNZ]

NRL.com have posted about it, so i guess its a merrier christmas for us that christmas for souths fans have been ruined

[bondi paul]

So Gus Crichton has to play out 2018 with the vermin, it will be interesting to see how they treat him as the club doesnt have a fine record with players who have signed with other clubs or intend to sign.

[Johnny Tobin]

Any mention of a sombrero?

Souths forward Angus Crichton signs three-year deal with Roosters

South Sydney forward Angus Crichton has defected to arch rivals Sydney Roosters on a three-year deal from 2019.
Following much interest from rival clubs including Cronulla, the gun backrower told Rabbitohs officials on Monday morning he had agreed to terms with the Tri-colours.

Crichton is committed to playing out the 2018 season with Souths, who were not prepared to match the Roosters' enormous offer, which is rumoured to be close to $1 million a year.

There was widespread speculation last week that a deal with the Roosters had already been done, although Crichton was adamant that he hadn't signed.

JT - i read the link and laughed when they said Gus had signed elsewhere rather than naming the Roosters as the club he had signed with.

[Tommy Smith]

Absolutely brilliant!

I've said it before and I'll say it again - he's a very rare talent who possesses every attribute you'd want in an edge backrower.

What a recruitment drive this has been.

[mightyrooster]

Great signing. Now lets just make sure we lock up Cords and we get the vermin to release Crichton a year early.

Welcome to the club Angus see you in 2019 or perhaps soon now it's time to resign Cordner.
