Angus Crichton’s red-hot form has tossed a wrench into the works of several NRL clubs’ recruitment plans with another twist in the saga surrounding David Fifita.
A huge twist has emerged surrounding the future of the NRL’s next $3 million star with one club forced into a major backflip.
With that French deal reportedly yet to be locked in, the Roosters have been forced to re-think plans not to pursue the possibility of re-signing the second-rower. However, Weidler reports the Chooks could potentially have a powerful opposition club thwarting their plans with Penrith also in the equation.
“... The Roosters were telling me yesterday, ‘No, we are not interested in David Fifita. We are focused on keeping Angus Crichton and we’re going to make him an offer most likely this week’. “I don’t think Angus Crichton’s that keen to go and play second division rugby in France,” Weidler added. Fifita, meanwhile, reportedly flew into Sydney on Sunday to meet with Panthers coach Ivan Cleary before Penrith formally made a three-year offer worth $850,000 a season.
