Which club was interested in Crichton? Roosters?
No one made an offer

Not sure I agree. If we paid $750k-$800k for Crichton then management would deserve launching into the sun.Sensational by the club

$500k-$550k would have been sensational. $650k plus top up for 2021 is just run of the mill business - & disappointing that we didn't progress the original deal past the handshake.
Wasn't the $750k based on a stupid Hooper or Buzz article - which was largely ridiculed on here as unrealistic and overs.Thing is though it's less than expected and if anyone wants him in future they'll have to pay stupid money up to $800k - $900k.
You live and learn. They won't fall for that trick again.$500k-$550k would have been sensational. $650k plus top up for 2021 is just run of the mill business - & disappointing that we didn't progress the original deal past the handshake.
A prop could sign on gameday and play. Its very simple stuffToday’s paper has us signing Crighton at 650k a season if so .Sensational by the club.Earlier reports where pushing 750 to 800 a season
After seeing mcines injury it highlights the need to have depth to cover all positions.The dragons are really going to struggle now
Prop has to be the next target .And soon
You can’t have players joining the team late injuries and suddenly there in first grade
Be careful. Just read something about Averillo damaging his elbow in training -could miss the first 3-4 rounds. I wonder if The Dogs will be calling early Monday morning!

As for future deals, I can see $750k taking Crichton to a new Sydney-based club. IMO, players may take up to $100k less to stay - after that its 50:50 at best to retain.

What cuts? The 30 year old winger or the journeyman prop?$650k is 30% increase over the already generous deal we had him agree to. 1 season of NRL and he's getting paid with the elite centres.
Honestly would prefer we lost him. Seeing all the cuts we have had to make to our roster to keep him just pisses me off. I think that sort of money can be a hell of a lot more useful elsewhere.
Hopefully he kicks on to be the next Greg Inglis. But many players have great first seasons and dont really kick on to be more than solid first graders. This is an insane gamble that he will kick on.

Staines will beat him by a mile at his current rate of progress. Only needs another 57 games to round up Wesser.

Gonna be close since season starts soon, i can see us getting someone cheap or an unwanted journeyman.Prop is the next target. Just taking their time with the budget we have.
