Sydney Roosters stars have backed second-rower Angus Crichton to retain his NSW Origin jersey as he prepares for his first NRL match of the season in Tuesday’s ANZAC Day clash with St George Illawarra.
“He has just got to get back with us and show that he is ready to play Origin, and ready to play 80 minutes again. He is an Australian back-rower, and he is a big presence for us on the edge.
Roosters, NSW and Australian captain James Tedesco, who spent seven weeks with Crichton in England during last year’s successful World Cup campaign, never doubted he would return. “It is a real credit to him. He missed the start of the year really, and has only been back two or three weeks, but he did a lot of training by himself,” Tedesco said.

His comments follow the Pentagon’s recent claim at a hearing they had no “credible evidence” of extraterrestrial activity. “The majority of the objects that are being seen are orb-like or spherical in shape,” Mr Graves told Sky News Australia. “They don’t have any type of exhaust in their propulsion systems – how they’re being propelled … is unknown at this time and the origin of these objects are unknown at this time as well.” Mr Graves said the entities were “crossing into the threshold” of a safety hazard and were being reported through aviation safety channels. “With the different emerging nation states and adversaries we have, we need to be careful we don’t have ourselves taken by surprise by any technology that may be present in these countries.”
