It's Easts. It is not benevolence. They will subsidise him as they need/want someone else. Nevertheless if we benefit we must jump.

I think he's quipping that Easts will pay $350k as in they'll pay close to his whole contract which Easts would not do.

I would guess it is a joke about the Roosters cheating the cap by betting on golf?

Well another week comes to a close and nothing but a huge announcement about the coloured of jerseys being worn by the kids.
Far out.
Yes I’m impatient.
We’ve lost an origin standard second rower, a great centre, two hookers and probably our first choice utility.
We’ve gained a potentially good second rower and the son of a once good player.
No one either wants or can afford Mitchell yet we still can’t close the deal
Politis is helping us yet we still can’t close the deal.
Bloody hard being a WestsTigers tragic.
Next week hey??!

Marsters is hardly a great centre. Adequate perhapd. I like the look of Talau and think he will be great for us.
I dontbthink its all doom and gloom. Remember when we had players like rankin running sround? Maguire is getting rid of the under achieving players but it will take time.
If Packer pulls his thumb out then im quite happy with our forward pack.
Fullback is our biggest concern.

Things were much clearer yesterday before the Reynolds story broke. He's either signed or back-flipped yesterday. The timing and the announcment of the Q&A is what confuses me though. Why talk about signing news if you already had a major signing announcement lined up? Only in rugby league.

Such a terrible article. First paragraph says Cordner is adamant he'll be lining up in the centres, but the only quote there is says:
"He's contracted to play for us next year so I'm guessing he'll be playing for us, pulling on that Roosters jersey," Cordner said.
Not really adamant.

True. She conveniently left out the part were Boyd said he would understand if latrell played for another club and needed security.
Roosters captain Boyd Cordner says Latrell Mitchell contract saga has become a ‘circus’

Boyd Cordner would love Latrell Mitchell to honour the final year of his contract at the Sydney Roosters in 2020 but he won’t hold a grudge if he leaves for another club to secure his future.
Speaking for the first time since Mitchell’s contract extension talks blew up, Cordner expressed his desire for the star centre to remain at Bondi.
However, he also understands if the Test and Origin flyer departs for a rival club.
“Who wouldn’t want Latrell? We love him at the Roosters and he is a mate of mine,” Cordner said.
“His talent speaks for itself. And speaking to Latrell, he loves the club too.
Roosters captain Boyd Cordner (left) says he wants Latrell Mitchell to stay at the club. Picture: Brett Costello
“But at the same time, people go to different clubs. That is just the nature of our game, so if it is the best thing for him and his family to go to another club, then that is his decision and you have to respect that.
“But at this point, he is a Rooster and we love that.
“I caught up with him the other day at training and it wasn’t about that (his contract) at all.
“It was basically catching up. To be honest he seems okay but it is one of those things with him being such a superstar in our game at a young age.
“Everyone wants to know what he is doing.”
In a bid to avoid constant speculation over contracts, the NRL could step in and stop players from talking to rival clubs with a year to run on their deal.
Cordner, though, isn’t sure if this would work.
Speculation continues to rage about where Mitchell will end up playing. Picture. Phil Hillyard
“It is hard because players want security,” he said.
“So if you are going into a year with no deal beyond that and if you get injured, it is going to take a massive hit to your salary.
“I think it is a good thing that the game has done where you can get that security, which is paramount in our game with the physicality that we play with.
“I’m not sure whether it is a sitting down and changing anything.”
Cordner has deliberately avoided Mitchell during the contract saga to give him space and time to make a decision.
“It has just been a bit of a circus at the moment,” he said.
“It’s not that he is doing anything wrong by the rules. It has just got out of hand and it has snowballed.
“Even when I was overseas on holidays I’d read all the news on my phone.
“I’ve just left him alone. He has obviously got a lot of people telling him what to do and what not do to and I don’t want to add noise.
“He is his own man.”
