\u201cI walked out of that with stronger relationships, even though it was a really sh*tty time for myself and my family, and I put a lot of pressure on myself and my friendships, relationships, and people around me. I think through that it grew stronger. <\/p>\n
\u201cAnd like I was saying, my wife, she\u2019s an absolute star and she pulled me out of the embers and I owe a lot to her for sure.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe owed me nothing when I met her, and then I sort of fell into that place and she was there every step of the way, and I think that\u2019s sort of fast-tracked our relationship a bit and fast-tracked the respect and appreciation I have for her. <\/p>\n

\u201cI guess it\u2019s hard to find real people in this world and I\u2019m very blessed to have such a great group of people around me, a great team here at the Roosters, and to be blessed in such an incredible organisation like this.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo big shout out to my beautiful wife Chloe at home, expecting the birth of our first son at the end of the month.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s been unbelievable through this whole sort of pregnancy, but also she came into my life at quite a turbulent time for myself personally and she sort of saw me at my worst and helped pick me up. <\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I guess she\u2019s probably only been around really for a quarter of the games, but I reckon probably some of my best moments and some of my proudest achievements have been with her by my side.\u201d<\/p>\n

Crichton said it was only fitting that he would bring up his milestone against the club he debuted with back in 2016, with the back-rower grateful for everything the Roosters have given him since he made the big move in 2019. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve sort of grown up here,\u201d he said before he switches to rugby next year. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve made mistakes here, I\u2019ve been supported and guided. I\u2019ve learned lessons and grown up as a person, a man, and as a player. <\/p>\n
\u201cAnd like I was saying, I\u2019ve met incredible friends and made incredible memories that will last me forever here, and it\u2019ll always hold a very special place in my heart.\u201d<\/p>\n
