However, Crichton insisted he did not mean to strike Harris-Tevita and asked to front the media immediately after Australia's 30-10 win to publicly apologise to the Samoa utility and explain his actions.
Crichton and Harris-Tavita spent time travelling together in Europe after the World Cup, along with injured Samoa utility Tyrone May, Kangaroos halfback Nathan Cleary and forward Pat Carrigan."Whenever I play football, I never try to injure or hurt anyone. I know that I am a good person and I play the game the way it is meant to be played.
“That was not my intention at all so anyone I have upset or anyone in his family or anyone in the Samoa community I am genuinely sorry.”
This game had become a fucking laughing stock
Can matterson play 2 games trails n can they count
When you serve pre-season time for an International crime That’s Sombrero It’s a pre-Christmas trick From good old St Nick That’s Sombrero Excusa me, can’t you see Nothing will happen to Radley That’s Sombrero
the amateur show continues.
But.. but... what about those poor fans in... Gosford... who won't get to see Angus play in pre-season? lol the salty tears from Roosters haters are always delicious
He should serve the ban in the pre-season touch games and be available for trials. This game and dealing with foul play just keeps exceeding all expectations 🙄
And I guarantee not 1 canberra raiders player will be able to do this next yr or years to come
This is a great outcome for all fans of rugby league. This is a great decision!
What absolute bs
rorters
Can this apply to all other suspended players?
Dodgy
I support Easts - but to be honest the RLWC judiciary was a joke throughout the tournament
Farcical
The comments on here are so good..🧐🥲😆 It’s the rules and has been applied to many players...it’s no speacial treatment. “Crichton's ban falls under the jurisdiction of the International Rugby League, which permits pre-season matches to be included”
and Radley after his altercation?
So someone suspended during the NRL comp can't use NRL sanctioned trials towards suspension but someone suspended in a non NRL tournament can? That's ludicrous
I feel like last season how it worked was they could play the preseason games but had to serve their suspension in the opening round.
This is great news for the Roosters and lovers of rugby league in general.
That's not a proper ban 😂
What a bloody joke the nrl is! Do you think Angus is gona miss a poxcy trial match🤔
Hang on… how can you serve a suspension in the pre-season Am I going insane?
I’m just here for the replies
Surely just watching some game replays on Kayo covers it? Cause, the fans.
For the fans!!!
Another NRL rort. Just awaiting the head injury class action and it will be bye bye NRL.
I'm sure Crichton going to be remorseful after being forced to missed those absolutely crucial and season defining pre season games.
You guys going to let Ryan matterson serve his supension on the 3 rounds of rugby league live on Xbox I play tonight ? Cause you know it’s equal to angus using internationals as club suspensions…..
I think I speak for all fans when I say it's about time a Chook got a break.
Will Milne be free to count trials aswell
Hahahhaha 👍✅🤭
Lol 😂 FMD these roosters get away with everything
Imagine thinking pre-season suspension is actual punishment.
Hahahahah fmd this is a joke
It’s what the fans would want.
Good result
Would expect no less.
