The Sydney Roosters are set for a major coup ahead of November 1, with highly-rated newcomer Siua Wong set to sign a two-year contract extension.

Since then, despite these hidden reports, these discussions have died down. Crichton earned up to $1.6 million over two years between Rugby Australia and Western Power.

With Wong’s future secured, the Roosters have turned their attention to retaining forward Terrell May.

Wong’s signing is a huge boost for the Tricolors on the back of Nat Butcher’s extension.
Wong played in SG Ball and the NSW Cup last year and was tipped as a future star after his impressive performance for Fiji at the World Cup late last season.

After his debut season in the NRL, the Roosters moved quickly to seal him to a significant extension, despite the possibility of him receiving a big offer on next week’s open market.
