R\ufeffugby Australia<\/a> has withdrawn its bumper $1.6 million deal for Sydney Roosters<\/a> star Angus Crichton<\/a> less than two weeks after tabling the offer.<\/p>\n

Crichton's manager, David Rawlings, has told the Sydney Morning Herald<\/a> that the offer for the 2024 and 2025 seasons had been rescinded.<\/p>\n

\ufeffThe bumper offer to Crichton, who is set to earn $675,000 on his Roosters deal for 2024, came just days after the Wallabies were thrashed by Wales at the Rugby World Cup<\/a> in France.<\/p>\n

Rugby Australia has come under fire in recent weeks following the Wallabies' sub-par World Cup performances, with the team losing two of its four group stage matches.<\/p>\n

\"SYDNEY,<\/p>\n

Crichton, a schoolboy rugby standout, has long been linked with a return to the code following a successful seven-year career in the NRL.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old was a part of Rugby Australia's raid on the NRL and the Roosters<\/a> in particular, having already signed Crichton's club teammate Joseph Suaalii<\/a> on a lucrative deal. <\/p>\n

Rugby Australia chairman Hamish McLennan also went public with his desire to bring Roosters coach Trent Robinson into the sport.<\/p>\n

\ufeff"I rate Trent, \ufeffbut I wonder how he can coach in an environment like that when there is such a ruthless attitude towards young players," he said in May.<\/p>\n
