Roosters' powerhouse Angus Crichton has kicked off a storm over the NRL club's swoop on David Fifita from the Titans.
The new signing has set tongues wagging and Crichton isn't afraid to tackle the issue head-on.
Reports from news.com.au reveal that the Roosters' hard-hitting second-rower is not happy about the club's acquisition of fellow edge player, Fifita.
In a fierce bidding war, the Roosters outmaneuvered Penrith and the Dragons to secure Fifita's services on a lucrative four-year, $3.3 million deal.
With both players known for their aggressive style on the left-edge, Crichton, who recently scored two tries against the Warriors, expressed his surprise that nobody at the club had consulted him about the recruitment decision.
The seasoned 28-year-old admitted that the lack of communication has left him questioning the Roosters' game plan moving forward.
"It definitely raises eyebrows.
It's a bit of a curveball," Crichton remarked.
"Nobody's given me a heads up, which is a bit of a head-scratcher." This development has left Crichton pondering the Roosters' strategies for the upcoming season.
In the world of Rugby League, where loyalty and team dynamics play a crucial role, Crichton's frustration over the Fifita signing adds a layer of intrigue to the Roosters' squad dynamics.
As the season kicks off, all eyes will be on how this drama plays out on the field.
