In the aftermath of the Wallabies’ record loss to Wales at the World Cup, it’s been reported that NRL star Angus Crichton has been offered a big-money deal by Rugby Australia.

According to The Daily Telegraph, the Sydney Roosters enforcer could potentially ink a deal that would send him to the Western Force for 2024 and 2025 on $1.6 million per year.

Crichton, 27, has been linked with a return to rugby union for quite some time. Rumours surrounding Cam Murray and Payne Haas have come and gone, but Crichton has remained in RA’s sights.

Before all the fame and glamour that comes with NRL stardom, Crichton was an exciting talent in rugby union. After impressing in Sydney’s GPS competition, he went on to play for the Australian Schoolboys.

Crichton later penned a deal with the South Sydney Rabbitohs, and has gone on to achieve practically everything that the sport has to offer in terms of team success.

The New South Wales Blues and Australian Kangaroos representative has won an NRL Premiership, a World Cup Challenge, and a Rugby League World Cup.

It’s a bold move for Rugby Australia who appear in desperate need of some genuine star power from the rival code. Crichton could possibly join Roosters teammate Joseph Suaalii in the 15-player game.
