How do you know he has not?
But his contract expired last year anyway. By the time he left he would of only had 3-4 months salary left and he asked for an immediate release basically tearing up his contract and foregoing those payments
Back this.
Rorters wont need to up anything. They can pay anything.Has the story on zero tackle about Angus Crichton got any legs? Or just Angus’s manager trying to up his rorters contract?

The Sydney Roosters are set to offer incumbent second-rower Angus Crichton a new deal in a bid to fend off the lurking St George Illawarra Dragons, per The Daily Telegraph.
It is understood that Trent Robinson has notified the 24-year-old that he remains in his plans for the future, with the pair meeting up to discuss a potential extension for the New South Wales star.
The back-rower has been a vital asset for Robinson since moving to Bondi from South Sydney, where he has played 41 games for the Chooks across two years.
Crichton will be out of a contract come the conclusion of this season and is reportedly receiving interest from the Dragons.
Along with Crichton, Jake Friend, Daniel Tupou Billy Smith, Sam Walker and the Morris brothers are just some of the 11 Roosters players that are off-contract in 2021.
I'd say we need Crichton more than any other external recruit right now. Why not find out of the Roosters are offering, up that offer. I can't speak to his credentials as a possible captain however, if the cap fits then go for it.
In 2022 Norman will be gone and Hunt will be our only marquee player followed by Bird. I believe our backs will all be on a salary of 500k or less, giving us plenty of room to recruit a marquee edge forward. If De Belin is part of our roster as well, I believe we would have a very good pack in 2022.I agree with you hewi , Crichton would be worth every dollar . If the Dragons are serious about luring him away from the Roosters then they will need to pay for him and as you have said with a very lucrative long term contract .
I would not however be saddling the man with the added responsibility of being the team captain , as it would distract from his game . We need a hardhead who has his head down and be prepared for the dirty stuff - and he undoubtedly fits the bill on both counts .
I recall Manly back in the late 60’s and early 70’s paying some , what at the time was some extraordinary big dollars to entice the likes of big John O’Neil , Bobby Moses and Ray Brannigan away from the all conquering South Sydney team .
It paid dividends as they won a couple of Premierships with those players forming the nucleus of a tough forward pack - the one thing that had prevented the Sea Eagle from winning a trophy of their own for some time .
Those 3 players plus the likes of big Bill Hamilton and the brains of the outfit the Freddie Jones finally help them to lift the J.J. Gilliton ( ? ) Shield .
The Big Red V must think along the same lines if they are truly serious about obtaining quality players , who under the coaching of Griffin and Co. will take the Dragons to our first Premiership since the happy days of 2010 .
We can throw in the gold-plated taps in the Boardroom loo as well !
Yes Gareth, that added ‘quality’ and intimidation got them their maiden premiership. You can add Mal Reilly to that list as well. The irony here was that O’Neill never wanted to leave Souths but he did leave despite often stating he would have stayed for less...he was the big difference; similar to Peter Kelly’s influence with Canterbury in the Mid 80’s. Wouldn’t die wonderingly if i was Saints!I agree with you hewi , Crichton would be worth every dollar . If the Dragons are serious about luring him away from the Roosters then they will need to pay for him and as you have said with a very lucrative long term contract . he
