Until knowing the reasons why they pulled out I can't really slag them. I just hope they offered 900k-1m and the Tigers offer made them pull it. The indecision between officials/board is a worry tho. It shows that they're not on the same page regarding recruitment - their method. If he ends up somewhere for less then 900k I'll be fuming. It's also possible not having the funds to fit him in for 2020 made it impossible but if Foran does get medically retired you'd think we'd have enough.
Lets put our faith in our Board. They've done their due diligence and decided Mitchell is not worth the money hes requesting to play centre. We have a good FB in DWZ and whatever may be said of Dallins passing skills, which no doubt can be improved, theres no doubting his attitude.
For all those with short memories it was the inclusion of DWZ into our side that coincided with our line in the sand change in attitude. So the question is this....Would Mitchell bring the same attitude as DWZ?Would it be worth shuffling DWZ to say wing to accomodate Mitchell at FB? - how des this affect Dallins attitude and how does this improve our centre position?
Mitchell turned down a 2 year $800Kpa deal with Roosters to play centre. This deal would of made him the highest paid centre in the game. It got rejected, so he believes hes worth more.
I must admit Ive changed my opinion on Mitchell and while hes a current Australian rep...hes not a $850k+ a season centre. He doesnt do enough, his attitude is questionable, he goes missing in games and is an unknown quantity running off Lewis and Cogger. Too big a risk. The dogs have dodged a bullet. Good luck wherever you end up Latrell. It wont be the Dogs whatever transpires with Forans shoulder injury.
