Totally agree.

We were paying Mbye 800K to play fullback not long ago. Mitchell's a much better investment for a couple of hundred grand more but no the club (and many on here) don't think it's important to have at least ONE game breaker who can create points from nothing. I think we could afford ONE especially when Foran's unlikely to play another game for us. Some on here actually suggested a player like Mitchell might unbalance our team. LOL Like we should just stick with average first graders. Yes that will win us heaps of games.
The board better be organising some special signings for 2021! Because Mitchell should have been signed, his signature would have opened up other big signing opportunities...

You can say that again

Fact remains all the other clubs are always in the market, except us cause we don’t know how to close out any deals
Tigers realised they needed a superstar player in their team and they didn’t hesitate to go after latrell
In a few years time it will be normal to have at least one 1 million dollar player in any team

The only problem with your post here is: EVERYTHING.

1) You have no idea how active we are in the player market and that’s deliberate from the club. You’re shooting in the dark as usual.

2) You have no idea how we compare to other clubs on this measurement. Not a single club has announced a signing for 2021 that involves a club change (yet).

3) Tigers have not signed Mitchell (yet). No-one has.

4) Sure re: $1m. It’s called inflation. Same as the salary cap goes up each year. But at least for now that sort of money is for a spine player only - and someone who puts in 100% every week and is possibly future captain material. Mitchell ticks none of those boxes - he’s just trying to get himself in the spine so he can get the money and so far 16 clubs have said no. If the Tigers do it, good luck to them, I predict buyers remorse.

Eventually with a salary cap of $15m you’ll probably have two or three $1m players...

If we ever have a real opportunity to go after a Munster, Morgan, Haas, Cooke, Ponga, Cameron Murray, Teddy etc and we dont go our hardest then I would be pissed. Every one of those blokes is a competitor with x factor natural talent. Attitude is almost as important as talent.

Dumb, no one else has closed an deals. Unless you include Isaac Luke going to the Dragons, which is also dumb.

I do agree with your point about it being normal in a couple of years to have a $1million player on any team. I'm just not convinced, and never have been, that Latrell is that $1million player for us.
