Saw an article on this earlier, apparently deal still being worked on with Sharks looking at a possible player trade so might not be a release for nothing.

I think it is in jest ...like we always also say 'It's our year!' He will go to the dogs and it will be announced this week.
Wrighty
Zero Tackle promised us a frenzy of activity once the CBA and salary caps clarified. Perhaps that started yesterday with a few movements reported. Will news pour in all this week now that all concerned are back on deck?
There is no frenzy, the same as Nov 1st every single year. It's just media hype nonsense to get clicks.
A lot of players are going to wait and see how their current team performs, how they're potential new teams perform, and a lot will back themselves to start the year strong to raise their value etc.

With Eddie Jones now in charge of the Wallabies I’d be expecting the ARU to target NRL players once again. They currently don’t have the cattle to win the RWC so better players and media coverage are usually part of Eddie’s plan.

He was on 9 news last night saying he will blatantly target some NRL players, was coy with who but stated his strategy would be those who converted from Union in school.

According to The Daily Telegraph, some high-profile rugby league stars who are all off contract this year are on RA’s list of interest, with Sydney Roosters gun Joseph Suaalii the No. 1 target.
The 19-year-old, who starred for Samoa during last year’s Rugby League World Cup in England, represented the Australian Schoolboys in 2019 before making his NRL debut for the Roosters in 2021.
Parramatta Eels centre Will Penisini, Manly flyer Tolu Koula and Melbourne Storm enforcer Nelson Asofa-Solomona are also wanted by RA, News Corp reports.
“We always want to develop players in rugby first. That’s the No. 1 priority,” Jones told the Sydney Morning Herald.
“No. 2 is to get back players who were lost initially from rugby to rugby league due to the financial inducements that league are able to give the players. We want to get players back who are lost.
“Thirdly, at the right time, is there an opportunity to secure some talent we don’t have in rugby from league? I think there is a strategic plan that needs to be put in place but the first thing is to retain the talent we do have.
“I’m sure the allure of playing in a home Rugby World Cup might be something to attract them back.”

Tigers have made a last minute attempt to get Chrichton. Sounds like it’s the bulldogs where he’s going though.
Up the guttz
Eddie Jones also targeting NAS to play for the wallabies 🙄 gees it’s sad not only are they targeting NRL players but kiwi ones
Toookey
Sooo...around 3.3mil for Crichton for 4 years - 830k a year.
Anyone think we should have tried to jump on board?
I've always been quite underwhelmed with him as a fullback so I'm happy we were no where near this!

He was always after fullback money, has the potential to go alright there. Definitely underwhelmed for Penrith though.
Not the player we need at fullback, centre would have been a different story but obviously not at that salary.
PullinTeeth
Good player but wouldnt go near him for 830k, we save that coin for props.
Ref
If his best form is ahead of him then its probably the right money.
If he is as good now as he will ever be its too high for me.
He is just one of numerous decent quality outside backs going round at the minute.
Wrighty
He's error prone and seems to screw up in the championship minutes of the game.
Overly hyped player. He is a good player I mean to say but not a star,
I don’t understand this. He has 2 grand finals under his belt at a young age and took the intercept to win the Panthers the gf against South’s

The top errors for Penrith were in 2022
1) Kikau 28 errors
2) Tago 25 errors
3) crichton 21 errors
So not the highest in the team but in the worst three offenders
Overall in the NRL ranked 43rd for most errors so in the "top" ten percent of the league for most errors
