Latrell Mitchell and Connor Watson

[sideline_eye]

If this is true,(no source given) I hope we get him. Whilst a team needs experience, it also needs a few players with brilliance and he has it.

Reckon Watson is a more likely option at this point.

Playing Reserves, his position likely filled for the forseeable future, his best and most lucrative option is to leave.

The WTs can offer him both position and money.

Done deal !.

We need a new fullback and this guy fits the bill nicely, particularly since he isn't going to get a run ahead of Teddy. May as well look at him, I suspect Cleary can get him to focus on football since he's all about keeping things simple and making sure the players know exactly what they have to do each week.

 

[BlackandGoldForever]

He's still on contract till end of 2018.

Carne see Roosters letting him go !.

contract?? what's that?

 

[Newtown]

Would take him in an instant, if the roosters were to pay his salary would make it an even easier decision.

He would be the talent we need to attrack, is NRL quality and can fit across the backline if needed.

Fullback spot would be solved for next year if he was here.

The fullback spot would likely be solved for the next 5 years if we sign him and he clicks.

Mitchell would be the next best thing to keep Tedesco. He is by far the best option on the market. Obviously not as good as some Dugan at this stage, but would be far more cost effective and I can't see anyone else being able to compete with us financially.

Out of all the options i have seen Josh Dugan, Michael Gordon, Anthony Abraham, Tuimoala Lolohea, Will Zillman, Dylan Edwards..I think he is far and away the best option.

 

[Nelson]

Yeah we should be all over this if there is any truth to it. He did a great job at fullback for the Roosters in his debut season but got stiffed to centre this season where he has struggled defensively. Makes me think the Tedesco plan was longer in the making than has been portrayed in the media. The kid is obviously a gun and I think Cleary as a former fullback (and seemingly good mentor generally) could work wonders for him.

The only thing is to people saying Roosters would pay most of his contract…please....they may pay a minimal amount, but they are not stupid enough to pay 3/4s of a guys contract to play somewhere else. Thats ludicrous.

 

[nrlcountrytiger]

It would be the one the greatest things to happen to me in a long time I really really hope we sign him OMG yes

 

[TYGA]

Makes zero sense what is the source. Huge talent why would the Roosters even contemplate releasing him.
He's a kid hardly going to be a seasoned pro as a teenager.

 

[marzie]

Was he a tigers fan as a kid? That's all it takes these days :stuck_out_tongue:

 

[larrycorowa]

Anything but Dugan….we don't need any more selfish players

 

[goldcoast_tiger]

Hi fellas,

Apparently Trent Robinson has had enough of Latrell Mitchell's discipline on field especially with his work ethic at training.

Heard the Roosters are shopping him around.

I think Latrell would look terrific in our colours

So do I. I can understand he would be upset with the Roosters chasing Tedesco. Cleary carries with him an authority and respect which is clear to see in his press interviews. If he can bring Connor Watson and Joseph Manu with him it would be greatly appreciated.

His problems were known before Teddy was going to the Roosters, it's not just in the last week or so.

 

[goldcoast_tiger]

Considering the Roosters would be paying a large chunck of his salary it would not be that much of a risk..I am sure the coach will make the right call but would be a lot cheaper than Tedesco and has talent to boot.

With you 100% on this one, Snake. While I think we do need to sign experience, a good squad also does need that balance of youth and he is an undeniable talent.

We've got enough potential with Suli and Brooks

 

[gatorman]

Happy with either Roberts or Lolohea.

Different type of players, to me Lolohea is more a running player, doesn't have much of a kicking game, more like a Blake Austin.

If Cleary thinks this what would suit Brooke's more that's what he will do.

Having said that if Watson from the Roosters comes into play is he a FB or 5/8 ?

Won't argue with any of them !.

 

[hodgo]

Lack of discipline and poor work ethic.. No thanks. We need some stronger characters going forward, don't need another Adam Blair.

Mate he mate not have played well but was by far one of our hardest workers

 

[Newtown]

Tedesco re-thinking contract. Don't sign anyone from roosters otherwise we fall squarely in their trap.

Sign him NOW!

I was sold at 5:03

 

[Glennb]

Maybe Mitchell and Watson for Tedesco going the other way this season if it could be worked out might not be such a bad thing.

THis is the package we need. Good young fullback, good young 5/8\. But a few hard head forwards and we are away.

Even if the Roosters buy another REALLY good and REALLY expensive fullback? Hypothetically?
