He better hurry up before the school holidays kick inNo and he had meetings with the Cowboys (Green) recently (spotted/photos taken). So he isn't 100% on the Tigers.

Roosters are pushing him because they want to be able to use his money. Threatening to play him in reserves if he doesn't hurry up.He better hurry up before the school holidays kick in
Valentine Holmes is the million dollar fullback at the cowboys.No and he had meetings with the Cowboys (Green) recently (spotted/photos taken). So he isn't 100% on the Tigers.
Agree, a brilliant player and I loved watching him, but I get the feeling he's playing the Tigers waiting for lol@souffs to get their Burgess money to offer him. And from everything I've read and heard, he's high maintenance off the field, so its a big risk.
Tigers and Rabbitohs (?) really cucked us with medically retiring players. It was looking like we were going to get Latrell with Roosters chipping in a bit at one point... (which is crazy and I don't really want to believe it). Now we can't even be competitive pursing him.Valentine Holmes is the million dollar fullback at the cowboys.
So ye, most likely tiger bound but I suspect souths will do a sneaky offer
Half of our board and the coach did not want him...Even with the Rorters paying $350k for 2020 seasonTigers and Rabbitohs (?) really cucked us with medically retiring players.

I'm annoyed that the NRL is likely to only grant us $350k dispensation with foran. I ask the league to find us an international spine player for that amount and I'll take him.Tigers and Rabbitohs (?) really cucked us with medically retiring players.

If that's true that's very telling. And no doubt telling will have two very distinct camps!Half of our board and the coach did not want him...Even with the Rorters paying $350k for 2020 season
I don’t think that’s the case at all the club just didn’t want him. They dipped their toe in the water and for what ever reason they didn’t like what they saw.Tigers and Rabbitohs (?) really cucked us with medically retiring players.

Don't piss off uncle Nick or he will drag your name through the mud...Well this hasn't exactly panned out as Mitchell and his cadre of advisors would have foreseen. No scramble for his sig, no feeding frenzy, no beating down his door with ever increasing offers. Only two clubs showing interest and one of those was using him to secure another player!
Has to be a lesson in there somewhere.
I think the answer is that he dared to check his value and they had 2 young guns ready to go so they locked them in and Uncle Nick then went about destroying Lattrells world through his media leeches. That's how I lean on it all!Roosters don't let "marquee" players go without a reason. If they really wanted or needed him they would have found a way to keep him by now. If they are so happy to let him walk it makes you have to have a think.
It's pretty disappointing but also not surprising at all. Latrell is overpriced but so is everyone else. That's just the market... Arrow at 900k is crazy money also. The Warriors offered Dylan Brown around 700k before he had even played a FG game!We're crazy for not looking for the opportunity to pounce on this. Board is timid as fuk.
Yep, I can understand intial hesitation from our guys about LM BUT in watching the thing play out I think a smart operator would jump in now with a reasonable offer 750k, 900k & 900k and grab the kid. I think we need him and he needs us.It's pretty disappointing but also not surprising at all. Latrell is overpriced but so is everyone else. That's just the market...

Considering dozens of good young players have re-signed or signed elsewhere in the last few weeks, by the time the club finally decides to spend some cash, no one worthwhile will be left to sign and they'll have to overpay for mediocre players with more panic buys like Napa.
It's frustrating that we'll have several million to spend after locking up our own players and we're letting minnows like the Tigers and Cowboys out recruit us and sign genuine talent while our club passes on everyone because our squad is clearly so great and doesn't require improving...
I agree with what you said earlier. Those at the club and even Pays selections and coaching style... They're all so scared to fail and lose their jobs that they won't take any chances to try and go to the next level. It's as if they've accepted mediocrity and just hope that it will all magically sort itself out.Yep, I can understand intial hesitation from our guys about LM BUT in watching the thing play out I think a smart operator would jump in now with a reasonable offer 750k, 900k & 900k and grab the kid.

As I have always said... time will tell !If that's true that's very telling. And no doubt telling will have two very distinct camps!
Well they will lose there jobs if they don't sign any marquee players soon.I agree with what you said earlier. Those at the club and even Pays selections and coaching style...
