RUMOUR: Latrell Mitchell Consolidated Thread

[GrogDog]

I reckon we will pays over's for the first proper marquee player then that should attract other players and the more we can attract the more momentum will build seeing us at more competitive offers.

 

[CeeEss]

At a minimum it's bumping up the price that the Roosters will have to pay for him. A new sombrero may be required.

 

[GrogDog]

Where would tolman play

Fullback of course lol

 

[Dave0175]

Big risk. Don’t get me wrong potentially the most devastating player along with Taumaulolo but I think his head isn’t right atm and I’ve seen brain snaps and look at him in origin I he was arguably NSW worst player and now is thinking of turning his back on NSW (hopefully it’s a sneaky to get the roosters to pay overs and we get someone else at a good price form under there noses)

show us what ya got, just let em take control

 

[CrittaMagic69]

The club was or is always going to have pay massive overs for marquee players atm, especially with the way the state of the club is in. Or we can go back to signing fringe players and playing them out of position. Fuck that. I’ve had enough of that! By all means necessary, get the best players available!

There's a difference between over paying for the right players and offering a 10 year contract to try and manufacture a bloke to play in a position he has never succeeded in playing in. People on here are just dying to root out salary cap again, absolutely ridiculous that people on here are behind this type of deal.

Is that Dennis's son?

 

[Dave0175]

Fullback of course lol

Of course ... how stupid of me to think otherwise

I don’t believe the ten year part. I think it’s absolute BS. But I think Dogs will out price Rorters in some capacity.

 

[GA45]

It is for 2021

Don’t try talking common sense here.

 

[JMP2024]

Personally I'd steer clear. Looking at his upbringing in an aboriginal community, and seeing how every other aboriginal has had issues, it comes with massive baggage and will cause us more trouble than good. Can we expect him to stay sober for those 10 years?

WTF is that response, not one point raised about his football abilities (whether negative or positive) just a remark based on his race and in directly his colour. Surely, your better than that Solvenia Steve...

 

[GA45]

He wouldn't be a million dollar 5/8 though.

Foran is so my busted kelpie could be so not hard to believe Mitchell will be

 

[KiwiDog7]

Fk I hope we bluffing
1.5 m to Latrell but sign up Manu for 700k

 

[c-b-b]

Which player have we signed to a long term contract who's worked out. SBW? Klemmer?

Ridiculous news to read, this board will be just as irresponsible as the last if true. He will never see out a 10 year contract.

 

[wigum]

Not interested.. would rather see us buy another 20 average forwards and retain tolman

Prob a more reasonable outcome. But I think the figures for Mitchell are inflated by the media as well.

 

[BMOC]

WELCOME HOME LATRELL

I’m all fucking for it, if it happens and We get him, that’s just the start of being able to attract other players interest, a new coach as well, how exciting.!!! Better than this whole 2019 crap fest.

DO IT DOGGIES..!!!

Absolutely agree. The bloke creates something from almost every touch he has. He has a solid offload and knows how to cross the line. Would be Worth every penny

 

[_G-Dog_]

I thought this board didnt believe 8m big money deals..

 

[AlzzBulldog]

You lot are the funniest, you cry out for top signings year after year and then a big signing is suggested and people still not happy, fuck off man, think of what a player of his calibre can do for this club moving forward

 

[Wally D]

He’s not worth that kind of money. We would be gambling the club’s long term future on a young player who is not an established half or fullback. That kind of money gets you a rockstar half or fullback in their peak who you can build your team around. Latrell is not a player who you can confidently build your team around and there’s no guarantee he will become such a player. I would only pay that kind of money to Munster or Tedesco.
