Latrell Mitchell Contract Discussion

[pawsandclaws1]

I don't believe the issue has ever been his commitment to WTs. I hope he decides to come.

 

[coivtny]

Annnnnnnddddd..........just like that I’m wishing for latrell again 😂
Oh well I’m used to disappointment ✌🏽

I was hoping he'd come the first time but not this time. As this saga has unfolded I get the impression he's damaged goods, psychologically. A completely uneducated guess on my part, I know, but I don't think his head's in the right place.

I tend to agree. He hasn’t actually come out and said anything. Seems like he’s just wanted some privacy.

If paying 1 mil per year means i dont have to see Moylan in a Tigers jersey, i'll take it.

It's from Raffa from the fanatics. He doesn't usually make up stuff. Said it came from someone at the NRL so maybe an offer has been tabled

I dare say there is some truth to what you’re saying
I understand he is the hottest free agent in years.But the way he is coming off in all of this is quite bizarre
I think I’m just excited at the potential of the club landing such a marquee player

Sorry mate, who is Raffa and what are the fanatics?

Raffa?
Nice bloke and passionate fan but not one to know anything about inside sources. I wonder what name he posts on here under?

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.

Have you been facebook trolling again swaggy

 

[GNR4LIFE]

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.

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.

So you concede he doesn't know what he wants, but mockingly repeat how he doesn't want to play for us, as if that's a reflection on us.

Never said I knew what he wants.


The fact he seems to have no other option plus
We offered him the money he wants
We offered him his prefered position in his prefered location and he still didn't sign.

All that to me seems pretty clear he doesn't want to play for us.

The club has concerns about his commitment to us, so imo they're crazy to leave the door ajar for him.
Like I said before (and you might not agree and that's ok) to me we're the partner ending the relationship but leaving the back door open.

If we have serious enough concerns about his commitment that we pulled his contract, do we want him here on the coin we offered him?

You said he doesn't seem to know what he wants. Probably true. But you're using that as an indictment on us that '' he doesn't want to play for us''. As if there's something is wrong with us. You deny you used those words, but that attitude is dripping off your posts. You think the club are losers because they couldn't basically kick a goal with a wide open net, with no goalie. You're gloating, almost giddy about it. Then you acknowledge that he doesn't know what he wants, meaning he could have turned us down for a lot of different reasons, pretty much contradicting yourself.

Lattrell could be off to Canada,so the whispers have it...also something on news .com today..

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

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...

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.

The Wolfpack also have no marquee slot open with SBW on his $5 million a year and Leutele on his $800,000 a year, plus they are at the limit of their overseas player allowance. He is not going to the Wolfpack.

Probably not,I was saying how Nine NSM said he "could go to Canada"...

Maybe Canada Bay

 

[pawsandclaws1]

I will throw it out there that the NRL cannot allow this to drag on . Latrell is one of the major drawcards for the NRL and to potentially lose him would be a PR disaster. Anyone to predict the NRL to intervene with LM's management to make this happen?

 

[Newtown]

I would just like to know how true this latest rumour is. After all rumours are just rumours.

That's only 5 minutes drive from concord Oval

 

[Newtown]

If Lattrell is not quite right in the head at the moment doesn't this come under NRL's duty of care?

 

[Newtown]

Ther's a report on Daily Telegrah 1 hour ago (probably tomorrow's edition) stating "Wests tigers Boss Open to reigniting talks with Laterall Mitchell".

Unfortunately I cannot open this report.

 

[Viking Warrior]

Hopefully Latrell can save us from the prospect of having Moylan here

TIGERS CALL LATRELL MITCHELL’S BLUFF
It was on. Then it was off. But now it seems Wests Tigers remain in the game for Latrell Mitchell after the Leichhardt club admitted they are waiting for a call from the want-away Rooster (Daily Telegraph today.

That's just Ritchie re-hashing last thursday's MMM interview with Lee.

Very lazy journalism. Didn't add even a sentence of new information.
