Yeah I agree, I think we need someone like him just not him. At first I thought it would be a good idea, but more I think about it we have signed too many players in the departure lounge ready to go soon.
Like what I read about Hill heading to England again for Thompson and Walmsley. He is very active which id great to see.
For sure. Sometimes a player is just such a wanker you couldn’t stand to have them at the club. He’s getting old too and will be suspended all the time if he played for us. We are very active and exploring all angles. Clueless people see it as being rejected but you need to be active and if you don’t ask you don’t get. Crusher Cleal at the dogs was a perfect example of lazy recruiting

Million a season for someone so mentally weak is worrying.
Yup. He can kick goals, but the GF showed he can't block the crowd out. Anyway, he really doesn't seem to be the type of player Pay would want, let alone spend $1m on.

No chance we getting him or any rooster they want. Uncle nicks buying all his stars houses in prime locations. No amount of $ is gonna pull him out from that setup.

I would have Jake Friend before Latrell.... Roosters can afford to pay a guy to turn up for a few moments in a season, because they are finals specialists rn... we need players who will get us there first, and Jake has been one of the key figures in what the Roosters have achieved over the past decade

1 star player to be cap compliant... I wonder which of the Canterbury cup players they will have to release! What a circus this sport has become!
NRL is going great if your the Rorter$.. you will be rewarded and given possesion if your trainer stops a try and if thats not enough the ref will be allowed to change their mind on the go after calling 6again..

This is all from a ref that was heavily criticised & publicly humiliated by the Rorter$ in 2016..

We used to make fun of that R in the "NRL", that it stands for "Roosters", now we really know that it actually does!

All we ask for as fans is a fair competition, until that happens I won't be watching another game!

Is it much better value tho? If Manu is valued at 600k we're looking at 800-900k. Whereas if Latrell is valued at 700k we're looking at 900k-1m. Latrell is better then Manu (it's very close, Manu has closed the gap) and Latrell kicks goals (Meaney probably isn't our long term Winger) and is a field goal option (currently we don't have one). We're saving 100-200k signing Manu.
Exactly. People also forget that Mitchell kicks in general play and can kick long. The only player we have with a decent boot is Lewis so I hope all those knocking us signing Mitchell are also happy for Lewis to be in our team each and every week. Foran and Cogger can't kick long enough to get back decent field position if we're getting trapped in our own half because of good defense.

Word is you guys will sign Tetevano over the off season on a 2 year deal.
I'm confident we'll keep Manu, Mitchell...well maybe, but it won't be on the coin being bandied around. We'll make him a reasonable offer, but if he wants more, there's the door. Personally I think we can build Billy Smith into an adequate replacement for Mitchell at centre with Kyle Flannagan as our goal kicker.

I’d be very happy with tetevano for a couple seasons on lower money.

Tough prick. Hits hard and runs hard.

We dont need another bench forward , is 6 or 7 not enough?
Left centre ,hooker or a good half is what we desperately need

Latrell Mitchell might go missing at times but he is a match winner of the highest order. I reckon in a side that is battling to make the 8, his impact would be 50% greater.
Think about it.
At the Roosters it’s a side full of superstars that demand the ball on both sides.
At Canterbury you won’t have that issue.
Notwithstanding the fact that Latrell is an outstanding goalkicker.
When he’s on, fuck he’s great to watch.
