We've been crying out for these attributes for a while now and he's there for the taking. Hopefully we can get him.
He is there for the taking for a second time. Can’t pass him up again.
Funny thing is we went after Foran 4 times. And grossly over paid for him. Like 3-4 times what storm wanted to pay. And all the fans could see what a stupid signing that was.
Now you have the chance to pick up a 22 year old that has been playing out of position and killing it. You have a chance to get him involved way more. Get him 2-3 times more ball and he has the chance to be the highest point scorer for the next 10 years.
But we re-sign Zelezniak (fair enough guy has done nothing wrong). But I’m sure that involves a guaranteed fullback spot. And then I guess the board baulked at paying 1m+ for a centre.
Thing is. The undoubted second best fullback in the comp is turbo. And the heir apparent to teddy. I think if given a chance Latrell could knock Tommy turbo if not even teddy off. It all comes down to Mitchell feeling important and embracing fullback and working just as hard as teddy and turbo for it.
I have no doubt if he did that he has no reason why he can’t surpass Inglis when it’s all said and done. Then the kennel in 2029 will be like fuck can’t believe we didn’t sign him. And he will be a part of all the other what if teams that float around here from time to time
If we want a marquee signing our best chance is latrell. As simple as that. If we want to rebuild with the likes of Lewis and zelezniak and bring in leilua and rapanas then fair enough. But it’s not often you have someone tell you. This is my price take it or leave it. Most cases if you leave it you lose your chance.
