Wait a minute 3.8 for a 4 year deal?Fed up Wests Tigers sensationally withdraw Latrell Mitchell offer
The Wests Tigers have sensationally withdrawn their offer for disgruntled Sydney Roosters star Latrell Mitchell.
The shock revelation came on Thursday morning when Tigers chief executive Justin Pascoe contacted the 22-year-old’s management to inform them that they would be pursuing other interests.
The Tigers had previously tabled a four-year $3.8 million offer for the Australian centre.
“We have informed Latrell’s manager that today we have withdrawn our offer,” Pascoe told the Daily Telegraph.
“Our first responsibility is to our club and we can’t be inactive in a market like the NRL player market and afford to sit around and wait.
“We have no ill feeling towards Latrell or his management and if they still would like to talk in the future we would welcome that.
“We will continue to pursue the talent that is out there in order to complement our already talented squad.”
It is understood the Tigers initiated talks two weeks ago, but have become exasperated with the ongoing delays and lack of clarity around Mitchell’s position.
Pascoe said the club felt an obligation to Tigers fans to keep them in the loop about what direction the club was heading.
The Tigers would be willing to reopen negotiations with Mitchell at a later date if they can show a genuine interest in joining the club.

It could be either but that's just the figure the paper felt like making up today.Wait a minute 3.8 for a 4 year deal?
I thought it was 3.8 for a 3 year deal.
Actually laughable that he turned down the Roosters offer. A team that had just go back to back, a stacked roster that played to his strengths, highest paid centre in the NRL + Rooster benefits...but na I'll turn that downSeems like Latrell and crew keep on burning more bridges with clubs. They've tried to play the game but the club's ain't falling for it. The dude is gonna end up being a waste of talent, it's written all over him.
Glad our club pulled out when they did.
Yep, he definitely fucked up a good thing with them. Roosters have him by the balls now if no one else picks him up. You would be thinking if you were a club and these other clubs keep pulling out then something has to be wrong. I guess you string people on long enough they get fed up and you end up by yourself with ya dick in ya hand.Actually laughable that he turned down the Roosters offer.

It was a more then fair offer and overs I'd say. I think he was expecting to get offers in the 1-1.1m range tho. I don't have an issue with him leaving the Roosters if clubs were willing to pay that to entice him (similar to RTS). I'm not sure what he's done behind the scene to of "burnt bridges" with every club including the Roosters. I think worst case scenario he's going to be paid what he's worth (700k imo) or an extra 50-100k. I don't see him playing at the Roosters tho. So now him rejecting the 800k looks silly but that's hindsight.Actually laughable that he turned down the Roosters offer.
