There is no secret Angus Crichton is a player we’d love to have at Cronulla.

He’s got all the ingredients we look for at the Sharks – a strong work ethic, a willingness to learn, humbleness and a terrific feel for the game.

There are still some rough edges in his game as you’d expect from a 21-year-old kid who’s played just 30 matches, but he could be anything.

Some of the things he can do on the field border on the freakish.

I hate putting the tag ‘future rep star’ on any player, but Angus is certainly on track to become of the game’s leading players.

I had the pleasure of meeting Angus over a steak dinner in Cronulla last week and was blown away with the bloke’s maturity and intelligence.

He asked all the right questions and listened intently as we ‘sold’ the Sharks to him.

So what did we tell him exactly?

Basically the same thing we tell any player who may be interested in joining us.

That we are a down-to-earth club with a team-first policy.

We’ve got the best coaching and high performance staff in the NRL, we’re coming off recent premiership success, we are a consistent top eight club and the joint is in good shape off the field.

Our fans are the best and most passionate in the comp and we happen to live in the best part of Sydney.

What’s not to love?

If Angus does decide to leave the Rabbitohs at the end of 2018, the Sharks are a perfect fit.

Go get him Gal!

I don't know how I'd cope if we signed him.

My favourite non-shark player. He would be the wade to my DJ

Critchon should be our number 1 priority. Ideal Lewis replacement for 2019.

I'd be happy if we got Pearce for a 2yr deal but he may well go to Manly.

If we somehow snagged pearce and Angus along with Moylan we'd be premiership contenders for the next 3 years minimum

In your head, rent free
i know someone who knows pearce quite well, he is more likely to head to manly than cronulla

flanno was on the radio this morning saying that maloney may not head to penrith at all

we are also looking for a centre/winger next year

I would find it quite amusing if we did keep Maloney. Would kind of hang Panthers out to dry a little. I do wonder though if we did keep Maloney, would he be a salty bitch that it took so long to get a contract of pay rise sorted out.

There's no chance Maloney doesn't end up at Penrith imo. I highly doubt they let Moyzaaaaa go without having Maloney locked in.

Yep you would think that was part of the reason they let moylan out. However i dont think the nrl allow players to be used as bargaining chips like that. Imagine if maloney stayed next year then left. Theres a team that could go close mo

NRL prob just prioritised the approval of Moylan's contract ahead of Maloney's after all his whinging about pay and conditions to the NRL ha ha

put it at the bottom of the pile, get to it after reviewing the new bouncy castle designs...

I'm sure it's a done thing, but if not I'd be more than happy to keep Maloney and give him his 250k upgrade.

Sharks could technically keep Maloney though, right? He has a year to run on his contract I thought.

Maloney would have a cooling off period?

Offer him an extra 250k per year and watch Gus's melon explode.
