Latrell Mitchell Contract Discussion

[The_Patriot]

One other thing i feel is important in the Latrel Mitchell saga. This guy was offered the highest contract EVER by our club. We have had hundreds of players play for us. The club have offered this guy more money than we have ever offered anyone.

We could not display our commitment or show him more respect than we did.

Everything that happens from that point on is on him. Not our club.

I think the Fox has signed with the Tigers...homecoming! Some compo for missing out on Lattrell.

Mate, when the Club announces it, well all believe you. “think”
“My source” won’t wash after what’s gone down on here the last week

So the Roosters have released Latrell to the Tigers

Big signing for the Moura side ....guess that means I've dropped to No 2 on their biggest signings ever

How about 'be patient' ? That got old quick.

Don't know why anyone is particularly surprised what happened yesterday.

Roosters pulled Latrell's offer because he/his team were dicking them around, Tigers made a good-faith offer then encountered the same foolish behaviour.

I see some light-headed folks calling Tigers foolish or embarrassed, but we've basically been througg exactly what the Roosters have been through.

Yes Roosters can better afford to lose a player like Latrell but no club top or bottom wants to be part of a circus.

And a 4-year mega deal, you don't want to start that on poor terms.

So well done Tigers mgmt in my opinion. Also - good news is it appears we have at least $3.8M available for the next few seasons, which is elite player money however you dice it.

Also don't forget, if I'm not mistaken, the current TV deal and salary cap are not guaranteed beyond 4 years, i.e. there is general reluctance from clubs projecting too far beyond the current TV deal?

Maybe, but everyone who was carrying on like Veruca Salt “I want the club to announce him nooowww” was equally as old.

Imagine the poor players that want to play here that are on a lot less what their thinking It’s poor form by Mitchell.

Mitchell has snubbed and refused to meet Maguire this was the trigger to take the contract off the table !, obviously our club in any respect does not meet the high standards that this primadonna sets himself. Reading the article in the paper this morning and the statement from Madge on what he expects from any player joining the club highlights just how our club has changed . Anyone that wanted Mitchell to join our club should read these articles read between the lines and be grateful the club made this stand. Madge has a plan has been the catch cry of late ...I am starting to believe this after years of failure@!

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Jirskyr hit the nail on the head. We’re the second club in two months that’s pulled their offer to him. The other being the back to back premiers. They were smart and decisive for standing their ground, yet we’re inept. 🤔

The Rorters were decisive because they have bigger fish to fry and can cover his loss quite easily WT's on the other hand HAD TO bide their time due to a number of factors such as coach being on test duties LM and bush fires also we weren't dealing with a nuffie LM could be one of the best ever so as they say give him enough rope and he hung himself it must have been a very difficult negotiating period which the club has handled quite well

@NT_Tiger the articles where these scumbag journalists make up and create what they want us to read. The articles with zero facts
