Latrell is a talent and a half.
As a centre he is not complete but is almost there!
He is a lazy defender and doesnt do the hard yards.
You cannot justify $1m for a centre at all.
Roosters offer of 800k was more than fair. Joey Manu re-signed for 600k and is a more consistent player than Mitchell.
There is this perception out there, because we have money to spend in 2021, we must sign a million dollar player. Like yeah bro it sounds really cool, we have a million dollar player in our team.
We already got one of those and how did that work out? The majority knew it was going to be a bad signing because of the reasons which were known even before the signing.
From day 1 since Mitchell burst onto the scene, his attack was absolutely excellent. He always needed to work on his defence and workrate, and quite frankly its declined. The Roosters over the last few years have had the best defence along with the Storm and if Mitchell couldn't improve that aspect of his game, what makes you think he can at the Dogs? Dogs of war? Siege mentality? Give me a break.
Also have a look at the players around Mitchell creating space and feeding him the ball. You going to rely on Lewis throwing cut out balls to Mitchells mum in Row 2 Seat 6?
2021. There are no million dollar players out there, so i wouldn't be signing players on a million dollars, just for the "sake" of it. I do not know ecatcly what players are out there for 2021, but i would be looking at signing players to replace Tolman, Elliott and if there is a halve out there to partner Wakeham.
They say Taukeiaho and Thompson from St.Helens are available for 2021, I would definitely have a dip at both. Those 2 forwards would complete our pack.
In regards to spine players and outside backs, i do not know what is available.
