Penriths Christian Chrictons management saying he will be looking elsewhere for 2024 season
Penrith superstar Stephen Crichton will quit the club at the end of the season after breaking the news to his teammates on Monday.
The Daily Telegraph has learnt that Crichton told his Panthers teammates at training of his plans to move on at season’s end. It is unclear where the NSW and Samoan representative will play next year but Canterbury are in the box seat to land the 22-year-old.

Too slow and coming back from a long injury layoff. I don't see him as being in the mix for centre. Training in the forwards isn't he?

Sheensey ,Benji and our ex Pamfers boys need go get in his ear.
I think he’ll be starting centre with Naden for Round 1.

Looks like we lost the 3 way battle:
Moses => Re-signing with Parra
Crichton => Bulldogs
WT => Plan B
I'll wait until it all comes out but it's looking that way.
Sorry. Mistyped. Don't think he is any good as a fullback. Definitely prefer current options.
Would definitely take him at centre.
(Was caught between wouldnt mind and would like him at centre and wrote wouldn't like...)

We are still in the box seat for Moses plan B is George Williams if we don't land Moses cryptic posts do [This word has been automatically removed] all give the facts of slug on
Panthers statement: “Penrith Panthers can confirm that the club was notified overnight by Stephen Crichton’s management group that he will be seeking opportunities elsewhere in 2024.”
For me I stick Crighton in the same box as Coates and Cobbo. Great athletes and finishers but they all lack in the effort areas and IMO are and will only be just NRL wingers not fullbacks.
PS I know Coates is not a fullback or wants too

the only thing missing now is losing another one of our halves, this is exactly what some feared heading into the offseason 🙈 on the other hand looks like we still have upgraded our squad tremendously

No one really knows what / who our .. "Plan B" .. is except for Tim and Benji at this stage.
At training they have had the following players running at 5/8: Doueihi, Laurie, Talua, Smith, Reilly, Simpkin and Ngatikaura .. oh and Marshall has been running there as well.

Plan B is better then Plan A if it means getting RTS.

Plan B is what we were after the whole time. Moses was just a smokescreen.

He's surely a long way off starting in the NRL. Would be a terrible indictment on our back stocks if a guy who's hasn't played NRL for a couple of years waltzes back into our line-up.
He needs at least a month in NSW Cup up get some match fitness and confidence in his body, working on his defence etc. One more serious injury and his NRL career is over, need to bring him back gently

A Bit Late for that if he's already signed his contract for next year!
