The second-row forward was recently speculated to be considering backflipping on his Roosters contract to re-sign with South Sydney - though Angus Crichton has been quick to shut rumours down.
The Blues player signed a three-year contract to join the Tricolours from 2019; but with the Rabbitohs beginning to look like a genuine NRL premiership threat, the forward has been rumoured to have intentions to stay on.
The rookie Origin player bluntly shut down the speculation on Wednesday; after becoming the subject of social media abuse in regard to signing with the rival team, it appears as though Crichton won't subscribe to any more hate.
โBeing a footy player, it doesnโt matter how good youโre going, thereโs always going to be people giving it to you. Itโs about how you take it and heโs taken it pretty well," teammate Jack Gosiewski toldย foxsports.com.au.
โI donโt understand why people speak to him the way they do when heโs trying to set himself up for life and do whatโs best for his footy career,"ย Gosiewski said.
When further asked for clarification, Crichton had only two short responses: "nope" to backflip rumours, and "yep" to confirmation on his plans to join the Roosters. suggesting the young Rabbitohs player isn't particularly happy about the gossip.
โIโll pour cold water on that,โ he told foxsports.com.au.
