We have a centre crisis at our club and we're talking about not signing Mitchell

Hopoate is not a centre, sure he can do a job but we need two top centres who will take our attack to another level. Our for and against for the past 2-3 seasons has been a disgrace. I'm sick of this boring grind it out footy every week, we score 1 try kick some penalties and hold the opposition out.

If we do not recruit any centres in the off season expect more of the same rubbish attack next season.
Hoppa is a fine centre

Apparently the dogs have pulled out of the race to sign latrell mitchell. If this is true and he actually signs with the eels I am going to spew. Just give the guy his 1 mill, bring him to the club in 2020 and let's have a decent crack at the comp. Since when have the dogs become a club where they talk money/budgets and can't sign anyone.

But there was no such reluctance to sign Napa for 700k, which is only 300k less than Latrell would cost.

So using that warped logic, the club doesn't think that Mitchell is worth 300k more than Napa. Or that they think Napa is as good, or only a slightly worse player than Latrell. Makes sense to me!!!

There is no doubt in the world that the club has some money to spend. They may even get cap relief for Foran. There is absolutely no need to pull out of the race to sign latrell. There is literally no one else available to sign, this is the most 50/50 he has been about the roosters in a while and he is an absolute gun player. The club sucks if this is true

He doesn’t have to retire for us to get cap relief, we get it because he was injured in a rep game, think you owe someone an apology

Rumored to be sticking to his million dollar demand, not cool in a team sport.

The following players are or will soon be on contracts around or over $1 million:

Cherry-Evans, Jake and Tom Trbojevic, Jack Bird, Darius Boyd, Anthony Milford, James Tedesco, Damien Cook, Ben Hunt, Ash Taylor, Jason Taumalolo, Keiran Foran, Mitch Moses, Cam Smith, David Fifita, Andrew Fifita, Kalyn Ponga, Mitchell Pearce, Michael Morgan, Nathan Cleary.

Someone will add Mitchell to that list as that is what the market dictates. Whether you think he's worth it or not... Considering they were willing to fork out 550k for Api and 300k plus for Ese Ese, I'd rather Latrell for $1 million and take a gamble. Signing him would be a statement of intent from the club and would convince others to follow.

So we should over pay for every player now because we over paid for Napa?

Absolutely not. But do they even realise that they made a mistake with Napa? That's the real question... We have money to spend and a rebuilding club like us obviously has to spend a little more to entice rep players to sign.

Signing Latrell would be like Souths signing Asotasi and Vagana to massive deals. Both of those deals were the signings that finally helped start their rebuild and convince other players to sign.

If we signed Latrell and Addo Carr, it would be a statement of intent from the club and would instantly make us an exciting team that other players would like to join.
