I think it’s testament to Crowther that he’s a regular in a very good talented Wire squad. I’ve always said Crowther will never be a barnstorming forward who will represent his country or that NRL opportunities will come his way. What he is is a workman like 13, that I’m sure everyone of his teammates will have down as one of the first names of the team sheet. I think a player of his ability flourish in a more quality squad as he will nail down the 1%’s and add energy to the team.
For me Burgess is a generational player and has worked with some amazing coaches and played with amazing players, there’s a reason why they wanted to keep Crowther, he clearly see’s quality in him. How can you be anything but happy for him. Crowther reminds me of a Jason Clarke type of player which I’m sure Burgess will love.
