Chooks still got the better player in Tabasco Sauce.

100%Their golden boy Fittler has already come out trying to convince him to re-sign for unders to stay with the Roosters. They're playing hard ball trying to teach him a lesson. They're gonna make it impossible for any team to sign him for 2020 by wanting to be compensated for who knows what amount ON TOP of the MIL a season Mitchell is seeking directly. Don't be surprised if the Roosters suddenly change their mind and reinstate the offer and extend him for 800K a season. They're doing a good job scaring potential suitors away.
100% drifts in and out... you obviously haven’t watched many chooks gamesDrifts in & out of games????
He scored 19 tries in a team that includes Tedesco, Tupou Manu & B Morris & leading points scorer 273 points to boot.

Played for NSW & selected for the Kangaroos.
The reason the Club pulled the pin is INDECISION. Several board/committee members of our Club were dead keen on signing Mitchell but the nervous Nannies succumbing to the media untruths dictated by the Roosters. The vilification of Mitchell is disgraceful & embarrassing.
Spot on mate. Spot on.100% drifts in and out... you obviously haven’t watched many chooks games
Have a look at his stats without keary....
And he won’t get a rep jersey next season if no one is injured
I’m not saying his shit, I’m saying his not worth 1 mil dollars in the centres with his inconsistency’s
Anyway I guess the dogs agree coz they said no thanks
So many people on here just caught up in their own little world. CrazyYeh I get it, we past on latrell because we have montoya and holland and I mean we are flushed with stars.
That’s ok though perhaps Dwz brother that can’t make first grade or someone like Copley might be an option. There is a lot of these elite talents to consider.
Who needs the leading point scorer. We won a few games last year at the end to avoid the spoon and it’s not like the other teams actually improved their roster.
End of the day we don’t have cap space for him for 2020I see all of his flaws. I understand he floats in and out of games. He has defensive lapses. His work ethic is always in question. I get all of that, I still would rather we sign him to $1M then sit on our hands and do nothing. He’s young enough that he can continue to develop into a GI 2.0. This is a gamble worth taking. We were happy to spend all the $$ I listed earlier and now because they were dumb decisions at the time we’re now shying away from what would actually be worthwhile.
If it’s not Latrell, then who? Fifita? The same arguments for not signing Latrell I can use on Fifita - the only two finals games he’s played in his teams have been buttfucked. He’s done nothing in defence and sure he has a few highlight barnstorming runs in him but so does Latrell - and Latrell can play 1 through 6 which is more value than Fifita than playing 4 through 13 (but not in the spine).
I just want the club to come out with some backbone and actual vision/ plan for the way forward. If we’re a club that doesn’t have the next Ben Barba/ Idris/ SBW coming through our Jrs (Hint, we don’t (right now)), then where is the talent coming from?
And of course, you were in those meetings and know all this alleged ‘indecision’ to be 100% true, don’t you?Drifts in & out of games????

I think we have dodged a bullet with Mitchell. I don't think it was "nervous nellies"; he obviously didn't fit with the values the club said it would use as a measure for recruiting. That's a good thing, as it ensures we don't buy damaged goods.100% drifts in and out... you obviously haven’t watched many chooks games

The Daily Terrorgraph.
Drifting in & out of games is what makes him the enigmatic & prodigious talent. He reads the game & chooses his moments, everything he does looks effortless as though he’s disinterested, defensively he can hit like a road train, he can step inside & outside his opponent or simply trample him. He turns 4 pointers into 6 75% of the time, can punt the ball 60mtrs on the fly, & kick monster field goals.100% drifts in and out... you obviously haven’t watched many chooks games

People acting like Latrell is CR7 lolSo many people on here just caught up in their own little world. Crazy
And who says Montoya and Holland are in our plans beyond 2020, along with several other off-contract players?Drifting in & out of games is what makes him the enigmatic & prodigious talent.

These stats alone will get you a top6 finish. But we have 2 busteds in Montoya/Holland that can do the job. DWZ is a fantastic acquisition is not in the same skill/talent plane as Mitchell.
Luck begets luck and the power grows even stronger at Bondi.Mate any one or any club who is ruthless, and unscrupulous enough, and has the media on their side to cover up for them will always be lucky.
Do you think he’d be that good in a team that doesn’t include Tedesco, Tupou, Manu, Keary, Cronk and Morris?Drifts in & out of games????

A valid point but there's also the fact that the guy is so unpredictable and unique that he doesn't really rely on anyone else to create for him. He does his own thing.Do you think he’d be that good in a team that doesn’t include Tedesco, Tupou, Manu, Keary, Cronk and Morris?
No one is saying he’s not a great player, but his inconsistency will become a lot more noticeable without a star studded side.
That’s why he’s not worth $1M to the club.
