Latrell Mitchell Contract Discussion

[TIGER]

Souths definitely out ...from a very reliable source reportedly. The options are thinning like my hair.

And yet he still hasn't signed the best offer by far, the biggest contract the Tigers have ever offered in our history.
An offer to play his prefered position.

Does this tell us anything??? Hmmmmm

I could be wrong but I think you are stating it's the club that has problems but maybe it's Latrell. Can you explain why he didn't sign with the Rorters. Are they also an undesirable club ? Why hasn't he signed elsewhere ?

Does that tell you anything ?

What makes you think I'm saying the club has problems?

How could I possibly know why he didn't sign with the Roosters? Or us? Or elsewhere?
I'm not him.

But it's obvious he doesn't want to play for us, why?
I have no idea, and I'm not going to pretend I know.
These are questions for Latrell.

Do you know? Please tell me

If Mitchell or his agent wish to pursue a NEW deal with us, he or his agent are free to call and, according to our new Chair, we will at least listen to what they have to say. Having had many years involvement in major contract negotiations, this is a perfectly reasonable position to take. If they don't call, so be it. If they do call, but take too long about it, they run the risk we will by then have spent our money elsewhere.

And so far "crickets".................

 

[TIGER]

Sounds to me as we have publicly removed our offer so we can work on this behind the scenes with out any pressure fingers crossed anyways

The POM explained why. Mitchell himself isn't the issue, it's his manager who happens to be the roadblock.

So are you saying that Mitchell really really really wants to play for us but his manager is preventing that happening?

If Mitchell wanted to be a Tiger he would have signed, it's that simple.


Seriously, not again

You don't have to involve yourself if you don't like it, i wasn't replying to you, you seem to just like complaining.
Go do the dishes or something.

Wow, that's ironic.

Oh so you understand irony, I'm surprised because you don't seem to understand much else

Good, now that's out of your system, can you tell us where Latrell does want to go, because I'm struggling. He's had a couple clubs interested and has not committed to any of them. The Cows asked him what most appeals about Townsville and he said fishing and shooting. The guys mind is clearly not on the game atm. The more I think of it, you're probably right, he probably doesn't wanna play for us. It sounds like he doesn't wanna play for anyone atm.

Close it down, I think Latrell needs to take time off, he appears to have had problems for some time now

Tedesco was offered more..

@Geo didn't we offer teddy something like 1.2??

Until Herr Ivan did his super move of pulling contracts. That worked out well. First in many master strokes from the Supercoach.

I think you are missing the point. I don't think that this has anything to do with our club. I think this is about Latrell having no idea what he wants to do. He can't commit himself anywhere because he isn't ready. That is the reason he hasn't signed at the Roosters. You may as well state that he clearly doesn't want to be at the Roosters.

I think it's obvious he doesn't want to worry about contracts at this point. That could change tomorrow but currently he can't sign anywhere. The problem is at the same time his manager is out there trying to get a contract for his client.

I could see this changing next year or earlier and us signing him. I'm not stating that is going to happen. Maybe Latrell needs a year or two to figure himself out. The club has to move on and that is cool. If Latrell is ready to talk at a later point in time and we have the money then we might talk.

I have no idea, he doesn't seem to know what he wants so how could I possibly know.

My guess is he'll end up at Souths somehow, sometime but it's just a guess on a hunch.

The Roosters didn't offer him his prefered position and a mil a season.
So yes it is clear he doesn't want to be at the Roosters playing in the centres on 800k or he wouldn't be looking elsewhere.

Whether it's got anything to do with our club is something you'll have to ask him, all we know is he seems to have no other option yet he knocked back his prefered position on the money he wanted in a city he seemingly would prefer to stay in.

That is correct.

I'm not a geography expert but I used to live in Toronto and it's quite a long way from Taree.

 

[swag_tiger]

Some with links to a insider in the NRL has said that Latrell's manager has contacted us on terms that we sign him on 3 years for $3 million.

Nine NSM,had a clip in it that LM could go to Canada...The wolfpack or whatever the team is...also at news .com this morning stated he would consider a switch to Rugby Union...just trying to find out what the hell is going on with him,we offered a very good deal to him and have been jerked around...the ball is in his managers court obviously...

where'd you see this?

After he played us around, if they came back to us hat in hand I would have thought a second offer would be slightly less than the first. Maybe equal. Definitely not more.

That being said, I would still be happy to sign him at $1m a year, way better than Moylan, and if it fails and he wants out, then we will have $1m to try again elsewhere.

But Im not holding my breath, great if he signs, though now I doubt he will atm.

The ARU have already declined him.

The Wolfpack have said they had no talks, and LM would have very little interest living a million miles away from his family and freezing his ass off in Canada.
