Angus Crichton will have to take a pay cut to stay with the Roosters long-term, according toย Channel Nine's Danny Weidler.

The Roosters forward capped his strong performances in the second half of the season with a berth in the Blues Origin squad.

While Crichton remains contracted for 2021, Weidler has suggested his long-term future at the club may be in doubt.

โ€œThereโ€™s an interesting one with Angus Crichton emerging,โ€ Weidler said on Big Sports Breakfast.

โ€œAngus is on big money next year. He knows the year after heโ€™s going to have to cop a pay cut. Whether he gets an offer to leave early Iโ€™m not sure.

โ€œI thought he had a tremendous back half of the season and is worth big money but he wonโ€™t get that from 2022 onwards at the Roosters.

โ€œHe doesnโ€™t want to leave but clubs may start coming and chasing him pretty hard.โ€
