Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

James Hooper calling his article on Crichton signing with the dogs an "exclusive".

It's about as exclusive as Michael Clarke is with his new girlfriend. Everyone has known for months where he was going.

Ow that's a good one.

I'd be backing him in....
He's a real athlete.

Im not a huge fan of him but I actually think Bulldogs have done very well to get him on that considering the 25% rise in the cap. I think he was probably worth around that before the increase.

Do you really think that’s true?
He got looked after in other ways…for starters his brother got a job. There would certainly have been more.

He definitely signed for less on his NRL contract. Who knows about “other” payments.

He effectively signed a one year deal with Souths for $600k. The second year was a club option paying him $800k. Souths ultimately took up this option.

Media reports suggested we were offering Latrell around the $1m mark per year over a multi year deal. In terms of total money guaranteed at signing, Latrell signed with Souths for waaaaay less.

What were the TPAs attached?
Contract money alone is not what you sign for.

Geeze…Gus will be trading quite a few players this year. Go in for the kill boys.

The Dogs have so many players off contract after 2023...they can afford these multi-year multi-million dollars deals 2024 onwards....there are more like this to come....watch this space. Gus is an A hole, but he is also very shrewd....

None of their big name boys are off contract.
They planning on taking the field with only 9 guys?

POM is awfully quiet in here these days. I think some unappreciative posters had a dig at him and have turned him off.

You can't blame POM or Cloudyclock for not posting. It was enjoyable to have them posting. They were part of the character of the site.

Gus reportedly had to guarantee to get Crichton to gain Ciraldo's signature. No surprises with this one.

Contract money alone is not what you sign for.

Hence my comment “who knows about the other payments”.

Stephen Crichton will be a Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldog in 2024 with the two-time premiership-winning Penrith centre to ink a four-year deal in excess of $3.3 million.

That probably makes him the highest paid centre in the game?

 

[Wiz]

T

Exactly.

This house purchase was after he signed a different, more recent contract with Souths.

Of course.
I’d also say playing for a potential premiership also helped.
If he wasn’t so loose in 21 he likely wins with the Rabbits.
Had he came here…
