Just chill out a bit and don’t take every article so seriously. It’s all about getting the player at the best price and why would they give the highest offer first? I doubt they have the money figures right anyway. When the board is voted for it’s impossible to sack them anyway.
Oh please do not sign this guy.i think he is so overrated it’s not funny.do we really want a player just coming for the money.he came out last year and said he hated us cause we knocked him back as a junior.
I’d rather develop a junior Who is coming through.

Sorry mate the Rotters were talking to $BW long before he walked
Im sure they were.. but they publicly admit they started talking to him as soon as he left..

I reckon they they helped agitate him and encouraged him to leave us..

Can anyone post that telegraph website article on latrell about roosters
Possibly releasing him early? I reckon he would be a good get. People whinge about not signing backs and now we are linked to one of the best and in typical fashion theres a meltdown. On his day he is unstoppable. He’s obviously unhappy at the moment and it’s affecting his footy. Id much rather him then bj or ramien

LATRELL ATTITUDE A PROBLEM FOR ROOSTERS

Not long after the full-time siren in the Sydney Roosters’ grand final win over the Canberra Raiders, Channel 9’s sideline commentator Brad Fittler tried to interview Latrell Mitchell.

He declined, still apparently dirty about his axing from the NSW State of Origin team after the Blues lost the opening game of the series at Suncorp Stadium. Mitchell insists no one has properly explained to him why he was sacked. The stand-off would indicate Mitchell is unlikely to play Origin for NSW while Fittler is coaching.

Either he’ll make himself unavailable or Freddy won’t pick him.




The Roosters star appears to be suffering from an attitude of self-entitlement. A bit like Anthony Mundine in the early days at the Dragons in the ’90s. A siege mentality.

He is not the first player to be dropped from rep football and won’t be the last.

This brashness is a concern for the Sydney Roosters. While in this frame of mind it would be no surprise if the club offered Mitchell an immediate release from the final year of his contract if the Kangaroos centre signs with the Canterbury Bulldogs, like many expect he will.

The Roosters see no point in him hanging around.




Stories have emerged in recent days about his secret meeting at the home of George Coorey, chairman of the Canterbury Leagues Club.

So secret that even Latrell’s manager Wade Rushton was not invited but another agent was. Nor was Bulldogs CEO Andrew Hill or coach Dean Pay at the meeting.

Latrell apparently feels unloved at the Roosters.

He doesn’t feel their offer of $800,000-a-year is enough, although it would make him the highest paid centre in the competition. While he threw the pass to set up the matchwinning grand final try, his form last season was probably about a seven out of 10. Average to good most weeks.




The other issue is the prestigious World Club Challenge on February 22.

It again clashes with the Indigenous All Stars. This is a touchy subject. The Roosters fully support and encourage his passion and commitment to indigenous causes.

At the same time they would prefer him to play against St Helens in February because he played the All Stars this year. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.

Sure thing?

You're off your bonkers if you think those 2 forwards are worth more than your "500-600ish"

At $1m dollars Latrell will be just another big name dud signing along with the likes of Tony Williams, Aaron Woods and Kieran Foran.

If Roosters thought Mitchell was worth 1m they would of forked it out, just like they did with Tedesco and Cronk.

Roosters re-signing Manu before Nov 1, shows you that Manu is regarded higher than Mitchell, and rightly so
Roosters are apparently going to offer Mitchell 800K a season which is probably more than they're paying Manu. They want to keep Mitchell and feel they made a decent offer but feel disappointed in his loyalty that he wants even more. They think he's being influenced by his family to want more and basically he's being selfish. They can't afford to keep Mitchell at 1M same as they couldn't afford to keep JWH, Friend, etc if a club offered them 1M each. They had to let Ferguson go for the same reason last year. Just like we had to let go of players in the past because they received massive offers from other clubs we couldn't afford to match (eg Roy Asotasi, Steve Price, Jamal Idriss, etc)

There’s going to be a Big Papi style airing of dirty laundry if Latrell leaves the Chooks for sure....

I am worried about that too mate.
In response to Bradytalo, the main reason they released Ferguson was because of what he was up to off the field. They know the perfect time to let players go

This sounds like the Ben Barba scenario

Has a breakout year and than thinks he is entitled to the biggest salary in the NRL.

This bloke will eventually go off the rails just like Barba did

Yeah don’t sign him. We’ve got Montoya and Holland in the centres. We don’t need him. Let’s go sign a marquee half. Let’s see. Throw a mil at Townsend? Sweet. How about a marquee FB, anyone? Nope. Nah fuck it a marquee hooker? Anyone? Levi?

This **** will lift us. He’ll attract players to the club. He’ll help with sponsors. He’s a marquee. A superstar. All those games where we’ve waited for someone to bust it open. He’s your guy. He’s a freak. He will kill it in the blue and white. So quit your bitching. And make the **** sign for next year. We’ve had enough of not being champions!!!!

I fucking love it! They are trying to tarnish the boy... He even says it 'siege mentality' that's where us dogs thrive! Everyone fucking slings shit on us, Latrell will be a great fit for us
