Roosters will not re-sign Mitchell if they have a contingency plan, which they always do.

I can see Mitchell coming to the Dogs on a stupid contract and Tom & Jake Trbojevic going to the Roosters

Was gonna mention that... Suddenly seems like the Trbojevic bro are more valuable and roosters might just let Latrell go and make a play for the Turbo bros.

Look at the difference high involvement outside backs can make to a side, we saw this clearly last night during SOO. Latrell is simply not the right player to build around, huge mistake if the club makes this offer.

Please stop talking common sense.

It turns me on, seeing as how there is so little of it on here.

It's not getting ahead, last night was just an example. This has been my belief for a long time.

That’s right everyone, 1 game where the score was an anomaly absolutely PROVES that Latrell Mitchell will be a TERRIBLE signing for the dogs. Case is closed, move along and lock this thread.

Latrell Mitchell doing well is based on a lot of factors. Good club culture, support from coach and players, and a star studded support cast.

No denying he is talented but to build a club around? There is reason to be weary.

And I can name multiple examples of high work rates resulting in losses if I wanted to. Point is there is about a million factors in a game that contribute to the result, and just because his work rate is low, doesn’t mean he will be a poor signing for us. He’s the best centre in the game.

Yes it does. He's a marquee signing on potentially the biggest deal in the NRL, it's absolutely ridiculous to build a club around someone like him. You want a leader, someone that will carry the side and lift them up, Latrell is not that man and very likely won't ever be. He's a luxury signing, one that we don't need to make.

tommy t is twice the player of latrell purely for the fact that he always has a go, takes the tough runs, backs up in support and is also a good bloke off the field. Shame he would never leave manly

Is it possible that your concept of "building a club around a player" is different then others? I see Mitchell right now as a player that convinces other players that we are not such a bad place to some and play for. Signed not just to play for us but to be a magnet, a beacon to attract other players. Hence it would not be wrong to term his as someone to build a team around. Whether he is captain material or not is irrelevant, although it is not yet written in stone that he could never be a team captain, there are plenty of examples of players that no one thought would make good captains but they do.

Tommy T is a footballer. Probably one of the purest I have seen in a long long time.

Craves the ball, and will go looking for it. Quick, gets amongst it.

Would throw a million at him and his brother without hesitation.

What happens if they all say yes? We have no money for anyone else.
