Once less ranga is always a good thingSo the dream of a director duo to rival the Coen Brothers is dead?

Maybe a second row middle player due to his leg drive but I don't think it would be a good idea to put him in the centres anytimeI wouldn't mind seeing To'o in the centre position.
No. A favourite of mine, but no.not sure if this was brought up recently but would we consider Peach returning to Penrith if the price was right?
My only worry about Crichton is the size of his deal.He bombs the odd try but aside from that what holes does he have in his game? Will only get better too
You still haven’t got over Josh leaving, get over it Alice (I have).Sauce ?

I tend to think $500k was about right, but he forced our hand and resigned for $600k or more depending on who you believe.
If will be important for him to continue to improve to develop into a top class centre or fullback depending on where he ends up. He is on big money and we need him to provide value for money.
$600k or more is big money, so despite his age he has to earn it and deliver value for money. That’s all I’m saying.It is only 3 years though
By which age he will be 24 so it isn't a risky for the club

On his wage he would be the highest paid outside back in the club so it is important he delivers.
I’m not suggesting he has been poor, or he isn’t going to improve or anything, I’m just saying we are paying him marquee money so we need him to deliver value for money.It would be but not the highest paid across the comp.
As for him delivering that depends on the definition. Hopefully he stays right centre now and can build up form
hoping Crichton fills out a bit more and uses his size to his advantage to be more imposing....
Critta seems a bit soft compared to Luai & Bizza - doesnt like the dirty stuff which concerns me given his size. He could be devastating, he just needs to find more aggression into his game.
JFH deserves the big bucks.
I don’t see SOO in Crichton. I see Waqa Blake, I don’t see elite, certainly not anywhere near Latrell, Turbo or even the Morris brothers.

I’m not saying he is necessarily over rated, I’m simply saying I’m not sure he is a $600k or more a season player.I agree. Over rated big time this kid. Still a great player but gee if could of thrown his 600k at Burton.
I was making a joke Alice. I thought you would fall into my trap. I led a lot of discussion around the exit of Josh Mansour, me, not you my views were about the way it was done, but it’s ancient history and not worth revisiting.I didn't have an issue with Mansour leaving. Especially now looking back it was the appropriate decisions.....(day at mudgee proved that)
For many years I have used the word 'sauce' instead of 'source' no reference to the bearded winger at all.

I'm not sure Burton was worthy of $600k a season either but unfortunately when players are given such high contracts it puts pressure on the cap.
It makes no difference now, but had we of resigned Crichton at his real value then who knows perhaps we could have retained Burton. Probably not, but I tend to think we may just have paid overs for Stephen. I hope not, I hope he develops into a superstar, but I’m not seeing it right now, I see very good player, just not elite player.
