NRL Stars Without Contracts for 2025: Angus Crichton Drops Hint of Potential Move

Ex-NSW and Australia star Angus Crichton has sent shockwaves through the NRL with his latest comments hinting at a potential move to European rugby. The Sydney Roosters forward, who is currently off contract at the end of the season, has opened up about his future plans and the possibility of switching codes.

Crichton, who turned 28 this year, emphasized the importance of making the right decision for himself as he enters his prime playing years. The lure of European rugby has caught his attention, and he is not ruling out a move if the right opportunity presents itself.

While Crichton remains open to all options, including staying in the NRL, the possibility of following teammate Joey Manu to rugby union is becoming increasingly likely. Manu is reportedly set to make the switch next season, and Crichton could be next in line to depart the Roosters.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding his future, Crichton is focused on his current role with the Roosters and is determined to make the most of his time on the field. After a challenging period that saw him sidelined due to a mental health battle, Crichton has worked hard to earn his place back in the team and is eager to contribute to the club’s success.

As contract talks loom in the background, both Crichton and the Roosters are prioritizing his performance on the field before making any decisions about his future. With a strong support system in place and a renewed focus on his football, Crichton is determined to make the most of the opportunities that come his way, whether in the NRL or beyond.
