You lot make me laugh ...
Mitchell was odds on to come to us. That was all the talk. 1 million a year. However, when it became clear he was playing the field against each other and not willing to fully commit we walked away. Most of you claimed incompetance in our recruitment talks. We're useless. We should've wrapped him up immediately. Why would we walk away? etc. etc. etc.
Rorters pulled out. Tigers. Souths (apparently). North Queensland. Seemingly the Titans are the only ones still in the race out of all the clubs ... and what an example of player recruitment they are! Yet, you'll all slag off the club for not signing him up sooner. For not having him in the Blue & White at any cost. You applauded the Rorters for being smart enough to back out of any potential deal with him but at the same time slag us off.
Maybe it's best to listen to all of those recruitment teams that walked away. Maybe they realise that offering more money isn't enough when his heart isn't set on it. Maybe they see he's already got his mind set on one club (Souths imo) and they're not going to be used to bump up the contract offer from that said club.
The guy is a great player, with unlimited potential. But if you're going to be paying that much you want his head to be screwed on. Judging by the amount of clubs that have apparently walked away I think it's fair to say that there are deeper issues here at play ...
