Stephen Crichton

[Showsh]

He will be leaving the Panthers, worth a look, or too expensive?

[Rooster R]

We have enough fullback aspirants! Too much. No.

[King Salvo]

Woof Woof - He will be off to the Dogs as he has first Shot at the Full Back Role.

[Mickie Lane]

I knew someone would start a thread on Crighton.
Th e Roosters dont need Crighton. You dont win comps buying every player who comes on the market.

I have alway thought he is overrated. Solid, but he can wipe Joey’s arse.

That’s both Joey’s arses, I agree that he’s overrated. Dogs stupid to pay 900k for a centre who can’t play fullback

[Timmah]

I reckon Nick and Robbo will be looking to put every available cent into keeping Joey S

Totally agree mate,he is definitely overrated..

Bias aside,he is nowhere near Joey’s level in my opinion.

[DP1990]

If he wants to come and play left centre for under $500k, sure come on over ... but that ain't gonna happen so ... meh



I've heard he has already signed with the Dogs for 2024, they will announce the signing in a few weeks time when things settle down.



PS: If he was a decent fullback (as people say he is), then he wouldn't have been overlooked by a 19 year old teen prodigy by the name of "Joseph Sua'ali'" to be Samoa's fullback during the 2022 RLWC !

There not stupid mate & they won’t entertain 10 million to keep him, mark my words. In fact they will tell him to take the 10 million & have a handshake deal for him to come back.

[Steakface]

It never ceases to amaze me.

We've got the most stacked 1-5 (aka, shortly the most expensive 1-5) in the entire comp.

I cannot concieve of any fan who currently wants an Origin priced centre to come to the Roosters.

Correct. Just one look at our backline & the signings of Allen & Paulo it's obvious that there's zero chance of him ever playing here.

I reckon without his Penrith bro's he might struggle elsewhere also his price tag (I think someone said $900.000) is ridiculous if true.

[Inflictor]

We might need a replacement for Suaalii at centre but I wouldn't want Crichton. Good for an intercept but nothing more.

Shithouse defender as well, would be just as bad as 'Momo' but he'd have that 'intercept' in his game every now and then plus he's a decent goal-kicker ... that's about it !

When you compare Crichtons defence with Manu's - same number of games - 23 - Crichton tackles made 322 - Missed 50 - Tackle Efficiency - 86.56 % - Manu tackles made 332 - Missed 63 - Tackle Efficiency - 84.05%

Not sure I would say either are poor defenders though

Out of interest

Suaalli - 19 games - Suaalii made 82 tackles - 38 missed tackles - Tackle Efficiency - 68.33%

Sitili gets dumped on for his defence - 16 games - Sitili made 427 tackles and missed 45 - Tackle efficiency - 90.46 %

If your noted defenders are missing tackles then there would be a concern - sure defending is part and parcel of the game but these players have other roles other than just defence
