To the surprise of no one....

souths
roosters, and
sharks.


SOUTH Sydney young gun Angus Crichton has revealed the three clubs who have already tabled him offers for beyond the 2018 season.

The exciting backrower is off contract next year and is one of the hottest young players on the NRL market.

And he says he will choose the club he believes can best help him be selected for NSW and Australia down the track.

“People tend to think it’s all about money. It isn’t,” Crichton wrote.

“Like any player, I have ambitions to win a premiership and play State of Origin and Test football.

How can it not be about the money lol. Those clubs have loads of cash. Both in TPA's and large brown paper bags

 

[HappilyManly]

Why don't Manly want him

 

[Peter C]

Why don't Manly want him

Because we have Lewis Brown.

 

[Holmsey]

Overrated.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Rorters surely would have 1.5 million left wouldn’t they, maybe 2 at a stretch?

Sounds about right (assuming SBW is coming and you have already deducted his salary).

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Sounds about right (assuming SBW is coming and you have already deducted his salary).

No he gets the $300k elite athlete allowance and the special $500k transfer from the ARU to the NRL allowance and then the $200k 10 year playing footy allowance and the Ford Motor Co $600k TPA, meaning he only costs the Rorters $55k from their cap.

So he’s already accounted for.

Shaarks apparently have still about 700k in cap and roosters to be fair have let go a ton of players. Gordan set to leave and rumours napa and Ferguson also possibly who are both on big dollars. Then there is cordner also set to rest the market!

I hope one of of our young halves succeed or a cheaper option like lamb down the track or even a long shot like
Carney. Signing another half for 250k to 350k will give us a real chance to go after cordner or chrichton or klemmer. Better to have a good young half and a top forward than 1 million on another half.

Surely we are interested

I think you will find the $600k is from “City Fraud”

 

[bob dylan]

He wouldn't come here any way.

Without Bozo we have no one to attract a player.

I wouldn't even show up to a meeting with Barrett and Cartwright unless I had burnt my bridges at other clubs.

We need to rely on the young guys with maroon and white in their blood eg Turbo's

 

[maxta]

How could Manly afford him after signing Cronk, Tedesco, Hayne, Maloney, Moylan, Dugan and Pearce??
Ooops - they went to the teams that CAN afford him....
How stupid of me - now it makes sense.....

 

[Clay]

I have no doubt in my mind those in the position to manage the Manly cap, have done so poorly.
We are now a club that cannot attract top talent or can afford too pay them either
Might need a few Walker-esque situations to get any players of note.

Surprised not to see Broncos on the list

Scott Fulton and John Cartwright are our recruiters. Having lunch with them would be like watching Dumb and Dumber 2 (the has been, non comedic one)

 

[nightster]

Surely we are interested

can he play 5/8 and kick goals?

 

[Spartan Eagle]

can he play 5/8 and kick goals?

He can cook, clean and yodel.

 

[desreturnoftheking]

And no manly.....

 

[eaglebuzz]

And no manly.....

*Slow clap*

 

[Mitch]

Looks like the money the Roosters have 'freed up' recently via Nikorima etc has done the trick...
