But we can't approach him till Nov 2019, and before then Roosters will already extend him.

He wasn’t this good as a junior and lacked the work ethic. Knowing someone who played against him through mid late teens they said it was a million to one for him to get to the level he has gotten and hats of to him for getting there. He is a special footballer and every club rightfully so should throw the kitchen sink at him.WOW 2.0 lol, I mean of corse we should chase him!!! Would wouldn’t?
BUT no chance he will come back to a club that completely turned a blind eye.. and now he is worth big bucks we can’t afford him !!!
sweet dreams are made of these.. AND..
Dreams are free, so go for gold people
We are 16/1 to land him.

There sure are a lot of negative nellies around here.
Souths will have to pay Inglis for this year and next year, the NRL can’t afford the precedent of letting them off the hook and they have already set the precedent by refusing a number of other clubs/players in similar situations. Without shedding 2 very good quality players they can’t afford Mitchel under the cap (at least $1m a season) and if they do get him they can’t possibly hide enough outside the cap. Sure you can hide $100k even $200k, but $600k a year, I don’t think so, it would stick out like the proverbials.
Souths have had 3 coaches in the last 4 years and the current one could drop off the perch anytime, so I don’t believe who’s the coach will make one scrap of difference. No player knows for sure who the coach will be over the term of their contract, just like players, coaches get sacked, poached and just move around for all the same reasons.
We can easily afford to pay him $1m we have around that spare right now. Then we will have around $2m next year. Absolutely no problem offering him say $1.5m a year for 4 years. Of course he might take less to play elsewhere, but he isn’t going to take $500k less every year for 4 years.
The NRL anti poaching till November is a joke, too easy to get around. For a starter I would announce tomorrow that we have $1.5m a year to spend on a good centre, any good centre, no one in particular. Absolutely no names of course, let the media do the “approaching”, it would be the lead story in every NRL media. The stealth method, someone always knows someone, just pass the word around that we have $6m to spend over 4 years and let the network do the rest.
Either way Mitchel would be doing 20 interviews a day for months. Plus he doesn’t have an agent right now, so he will be taking pitches daily/hourly from probably every one of them. Which will, at the very least, distract him from how he plays this year. And push up his price for everyone else for 4 years. Or we land him.
There is no downside in any of the scenarios, other than if we do get him and he fails, then we are “Foran’d” again.

Because we can offer him, say, $1.5m each year for 4 years. that's $6m. He won't ever have to work again because, as we do now, we will provide free financial advice and training on managing his financial affairs for the rest of his life. We will offer him the same as we do for every player, whatever tertiary education they want. We can offer him unlimited TPA's, and he will attract plenty. We can offer him and his family things such as $100k worth of new cars every year, which they can then turn into cash by selling them every year. Because we can offer him a say in who the next coach is, via a vote on the panel who determines that. Because we have a such a hugely profitable leagues club that there is no doubt he will paid in full and on time, every time.
He has already ticked the box of winning a premiership in a team of superstars, now it's time to prove how good he really is by winning a premiership in a team of non superstars. Issue a challenge, such as, the truly great players lift the team around them and you're not truly considered great until you do that.
Again, the objective is to get him to play with us, but if he doesn't at least we know that we pushed his price up for whoever he does choose which lessons their power to compete with us for other players.

or to get Keary.
Roosters does not have one million dollar player but several million dollar players in their roster that we can chase.

It's just a number, maybe lower, maybe higher, just whatever is needed to achieve the purpose (either of the purposes).
The way I see it that we need a magnet, someone to attract other players to want to come and play with us. To show that we might be down right now but we are willing to do whatever it takes to get back to where we belong. So by paying one "overs" we might get some that will play for "unders". Right now there probably isn't a bigger magnet than Mitchell.
On value for money, if Newcastle are paying $1m for Klemmer, how much is Mitchell worth? Is $1.5m too much for a fullback, because I suspect that's where he may well end up.
