RUMOUR: Latrell Mitchell Consolidated Thread

[NallaC]

Ever thought this is bit of a marketing tool used by our club. We now have cash and welcome all players interested. We need a marquee playee. Maybe Mitchell fits the bill maybe not.

Either way the discussion on our club as a no go club has potentially changed. Well done dogs for changing the narative.

If we dont get Mitchell then im sure they have someone else in mind... DWZ was the start of the rebuild / repurchase. ..

How many exceptional seasons did South's really get out of GI? Hardly a glowing endorsement. And this issue with a long term contract is what if he performs and demands more money? What if he doesn't perform and we're stuck with another Williams? All the pressure is on the club with this and I don't think it's worth it...if it was Tommy Trbo or Munster then yh I might be a little more interested.

South's were competitive the whole time with GI not to mention a title.

Well they're currently doing fine without him with Turner playing in his place...

I thought of this the other night. Maybe it's a "hey guys we are back in the market" thing.

Not really, not like managers need to read an article on foxsports to have a rough idea of what certain clubs have to spend lol.

Agree. Also, outside backs need decent forwards and halves in front of them to give them space to utilise their running skills. Latrell M would be flogging himself for nothing with us at the moment.

 

[Haddaway]

I never think too hard about this type of shit. I couldn't give a shit about the money or for how long. I'll moan about how shit he is later.

Just get it done. Lol

He will be here in 2021 though so most of this team won’t be playing with him. We have plenty of money to spend so we can shell out a million on Latrell and still have money to upgrade other positions.

I don't want to deal with this saga for another year and a half...

 

[AlzzBulldog]

I’m thinking bout it and latrell will come if he’s about money and job security and setting himself up, no one rejects an offer like this

The Latrell saga or the Bulldogs saga? There’s plenty of saga’s to choose from and I’m sure there will be more to come....

All of them.

I’m more comfortable with the 5 year contract (even that is risky considering his current state of mind) but who knows maybe just maybe out of all the people in his circle with their hands out there’s one that actually cares about him and gives him sound advice

A 5 yr contract would be sublime...

 

[Costa84]

Definitely disagree with the 10 year term, but the most pleasing thing about this entire rumour, is that for once the blow torch has been put on the Roosters in the media.

I am a tad dissapointed that the Dogs didnt go all out and offer the same deal to Keary & Tedesco all in one hit.

Probably wouldn't be taken serious with dogs likely fined for bringing game into disrepute lol

Pretty sure GI was the first piece during South's rise in 2011... they built the team around him then and we can build our next squad around Latrell

 

[Costa84]

Wow. Players are chiming in... reminds me of Pearce coming out in support of newcastle pursuit of klemmer

Really?

What makes a good player? What makes a great player?

The difference is consistency. The best players turn up every week, and perform. They give there all.

Can you honestly say that of Latrell? Cause if you can, perhaps you should go and spectate a game of lawn bawls.

I have no doubt in my mind he can be one of the best centres of the game. But he if he still falls into the category of "on his day", then he has some ways to go.

Latrell has had one bad game in 2 seasons. And it was a shocker but before state of origin everyone was talking about this kid as the most devastating in the game. You named 4 players and at the start of the year Ponga couldn’t play at 5/8 had to be moved now he’s the best player going according to everyone. RTS has not been spotted since he left Easts and his team is never near the top not sure how you can include him same as DCE or is it because of their salary they are included ?

If these guys are cream of the crop Mitchell deserves to be there on his performances. Because they have been impressive.

Not sure he'd be so glowing in his review if Latrell's signature lead to him not being resigned by the club.

 

[B-Train]

That's exactly why recruiting someone like Latrell is worth paying extra for. The lure he has in recruiting other players is priceless.

If we can get Latrell for five years it would be the best signing the club has made since Terry Lamb. We'd turn into a contender in no time with the other talent he'd attract and the unprecedented cap space at our disposal.
