In a stunning move that has sent shockwaves through the NRL, the Canberra Raiders and the Sydney Roosters have finalised a blockbuster trade that sees two star players switch clubs in a high-stakes deal aimed at reshaping both teams’ futures. The Raiders have officially acquired hard-hitting forward Angus Crichton, while the Roosters secure the services of dynamic playmaker Jack Wighton.
