Latrell Mitchell Contract Discussion

[jirskyr]

I love the cool cats on the forum who criticise those of us who want some action. If you’re relaxed and at peace with where we are at - good luck to you. Me, I want to see something positive for a change. Not too much to ssk I reckon

I'm with you Steve. I'll support this club forever and a day, regardless, but after the years of doing it tough um hanging out for something to cheer about. I can only watch the 05 GF, semis, and year highlights so many times.

I hear ya JD. No one loves the Tigers more than me. I’m rusted on to the nth degree. But I’m sick of mediocrity. We are being laughed at - no one wants Mitchell except us and we still can’t finalise the deal. Meanwhile the 2020 season ticks closer and closer.

Why worry about what people laugh at, other supporters are morons.

Every other support hates most other clubs, that's how it works, I don't understand the concern about what other people think.

I get you want success, that's a given for everyone. Everyone wants action too, it's just that these things typically don't happen quickly, and it appears in the modern internet age everyone expects them to happen quickly.

Latrell's not even off contract yet. The Signings and Suggestions page has been pretty much exclusively about players who are still contracted to their current club. Yes that can change, but it's not as if they're free agents needing to find a home.

Plus it's the offseason, I make my point again that not a single new signing can actually play for Tigers until February trials anyway. It's like the folks on an international flight who leap to their feet when the plane lands, rush through Customs and stand around waiting like every other mug for their bags to come onto the carousel. There are some things that even hurrying along don't actually impact the final timeline.

In the Tigers defence, a lot of other clubs have been jusrlt as mediocre. Take Broncos for example. Own stadium,sponsors,biggest junior development and own city and they havnt won a premiership since 2006. Warriors, Parramatta,Penrith. All have more facilities and sponsors yet ond could say they have been as ordinary az us if not more.

It irritates me how a great deal of people ckntinuevto say we have the longest finals drought. Who cares. 10 years from now people only remember premierships, not finals appearances. Until we ard a top4 side and have a genuine cha nce of winning it, scaping into the finals in7-8th spot doesnt interest me. Still awhile away yet.

I care and almost totally disagree, as we won't have a great deal of people to remember premierships, if we ever get more than the current one, unless finals footy is achieved. Anyone that has begun supporting WT in the last EIGHT seasons has not been able to watch their team play a finals game, so no doubt we have lost plenty of them due to that, as it is an absolutely terrible set of results for any club.

Rusted on supporters like me will mostly hang tough through ridiculously long unsuccessful periods, but most new supporters won't.

As always, you make sense and I like your plane analogy but you miss the heart of my post.

Yes it takes time. Yes it’s early preseason. Yes, nothing of note happens till February.

But, historically we hear the same message, read the same posts, get excited and in the end we sign Pita Godinet.

My post is at its heart expressing the frustration that nothing ever happens for us. It always ends in tears. I want to wake up and receive official news that we have diligently and professionally signed talented first graders.

Yes - February is ok but February never seems to come. Not historically anyway.

If I can steal an analogy: it’s like the bloke who waits patiently for his bags only to find they are in Brisbane not Sydney.

I remember our last finals appearance. I still refuse to rewatch it.

I just dont want to scape into the finals in 7th/8gh amd just make up the numbers. Our side in those years would of just made up the numbers.

I bet any Broncos supporter would of loved for the Broncos to not make the finals if they knew they would be beaten 58-0.

I get everyone wants to get to the finals. Lets just try amd get a team that actually do somethjng when we get there because we are 4-5 good players at least from being there yet.

Problem is how often do teams go from missing the finals for 8 years to suddenly becoming premiership contenders in one season? It is a process and the 1st step for us is to actually make the finals.

Who knows honestly. Injuries, long season, rep games. I dont want to wish bad on other teams but how many times do we play the better teams and hope they have injuries to give us a reasonable chance of winning. Its not just the players we have but the mentality. We have trouble finishing games off because we are not used to winning.

Brooks and Marshall panic when we are intough situations and try to score off every play. Yes they are getti ng better but unless we get a few more really good players then we will just be 'rebuilding again'.

I think next year will be better. If we can get reynolds off our list and go for a halfback(brooks 5/8) eith a couple of other good signings and with our forwards having another year under Maguire will push for the top 6. At the moment we are 7-12 likely position.

This is what I don't get

People sit here and say give the club time , it s all good , we are finally getting it together , in Madge we trust ...your being too critical ....your a negative nelly ....pessimistic

This club puts some A quality seasons back to back with some finals and I'll be happy and shut up

I bet you read my posts in 2010 and 2011 I'm not criticizing the club often

I reckon some on here wouldn't complain if they were being handed cat wiz as beer , and eating baby poo burgers

It is totally , utterly astounding

Mediocrity rules

 

[krayola]

Can anyone tell me this:
1) Why don't the Roosters want him? (not the salary cap nonsense. What is his major malfunction?)

2) Why on earth is he only interested in us and Souths when no other bonafied player wants to come near us?

If old mate signs and then declares in his press conference that he always wanted to come to us and doesn't know where the stories came from I think most of us would accept it. Or would some of you say you don't want him?

It's on again for a reason. Other clubs aren't hunting him for a reason. He's either coming to us or Souths and you'd think the deal was provisionally agreed upon a while back. Seriously, the guy is an Australian international on a bad day and just about any club would dump salary for a guy like that if he said he wanted to move to them.

How Cody Walker’s future at South Sydney could impact Latrell Mitchell

Cody Walker is expected to agree to a new two-year extension at South Sydney — and the move could have big ramifications for Latrell Mitchell.

Cody Walker is expected to agree to a new two-year extension at South Sydney this weekend. But the move could all but eliminate any chance that Latrell Mitchell could also end up at Redfern next season.

Meanwhile, Jai Arrow’s future is also expected to be resolved in the coming days with the Rabbitohs hopeful the boom Gold Coast forward will give them a double pre-Christmas celebration to launch the club into the post Sam Burgess era.

But in the latest twist to the NRL player market circus, The Daily Telegraph can reveal that the Rabbitohs are now discussing the possibility of making a late play for the exiled Sydney Roosters’ star. This is despite the fact that the Rabbitohs were previously adamant Mitchell was not on their radar.

It is understood any potential interest is hugely dependent upon Walker’s decision.

The fact of the matter is that Souths just don’t have the salary cap space available to fit both Walker and Mitchell into the same roster, unless Mitchell was to take a massive pay cut.

Given the Rabbitohs’ depth of backline talent it would seem unlikely this could happen, and especially given the Wests Tigers are willing to pay Mitchell $1 million a season and let him play fullback.

The Gold Coast are also still in the frame and their interest could also be significantly influenced by what Arrow ends up doing.

But make no mistake there are people of influence who believe Latrell ultimately ending up at Souths is now not as ridiculous as it might have appeared just days ago.

It is a strange situation that is made all the intriguing by growing speculation that Mitchell’s relationship with his manager Wayde Rushton could be experiencing some difficulties.

It has even been suggested that the NRL now needs to step in and offer some guidance to try and get this situation resolved before Mitchell is due back at training in early January.

While Walker’s contract negotiations have now dragged on for the best part of a month, further talks on Friday between Souths and Walker’s agent Matt Rose had both parties confident they were now ready to strike a deal to keep the 29-year-old at the club until at least the end of 2022.

It is understood Arrow is struggling to make a decision on his future with his loyalty to his current Gold Coast teammates up against an enormous opportunity to move to Sydney and play at one of rugby league’s most famous clubs.

Those close to negotiations have shut down any suggestion that Arrow has made a decision either-way as of Friday.

Souths believe they have done all they can but at the end of the day it is Arrow’s decision to make.

While Mitchell still has a contract to play at the Roosters next year, the club have made their feelings known.

But the last place they probably expected he might end up when this all started would be at their arch enemies, and potentially playing for less than the $800,000 he was offered to stay at the Roosters.

 

[finnzo]

Pointless article if Walker is expected to sign haha

 

[diedpretty]

FWIW I’ve heard that the Roosters have offered to pay $200k of Mitchell’s contract for next year...but only if he goes to Wests Tigers
https://twitter.com/CastTiger/status/1205377658583805958?s=19

Great guy Uncle Nick.

Only problem is he offered to send the 200k in brown paper bags.

 

[Moh]

On they Roosters furom they say he will make his decision next week.

Haha hard to get this wrong when someone has said it every week for the past month.

Also last week before Christmas break, so you'd really hope this is it.

The Q&A is very strange timing and doesn't fill me with confidence.

I love the cool cats on the forum who criticise those of us who want some action. If you’re relaxed and at peace with where we are at - good luck to you. Me, I want to see something positive for a change. Not too much to ssk I reckon

I'm with you Steve. I'll support this club forever and a day, regardless, but after the years of doing it tough um hanging out for something to cheer about. I can only watch the 05 GF, semis, and year highlights so many times.

I hear ya JD. No one loves the Tigers more than me. I’m rusted on to the nth degree. But I’m sick of mediocrity. We are being laughed at - no one wants Mitchell except us and we still can’t finalise the deal. Meanwhile the 2020 season ticks closer and closer.

In the Tigers defence, a lot of other clubs have been jusrlt as mediocre. Take Broncos for example. Own stadium,sponsors,biggest junior development and own city and they havnt won a premiership since 2006. Warriors, Parramatta,Penrith. All have more facilities and sponsors yet ond could say they have been as ordinary az us if not more.

It irritates me how a great deal of people ckntinuevto say we have the longest finals drought. Who cares. 10 years from now people only remember premierships, not finals appearances. Until we ard a top4 side and have a genuine cha nce of winning it, scaping into the finals in7-8th spot doesnt interest me. Still awhile away yet.

Don’t you have to make the finals first to win a premiership, and your looking 10 years down the track

 

[diedpretty]

That Crawley article is a joke. He has cut and pasted from a number of articles that have appeared over the past fortnight. There is not one quote in the article from anyone so it is just Crawley opinion. "There are people of influence who believe he may end up at Souths" - yea who? He writes that it is "understood" what is happening with Walker. Arrow and Mitchell. What a farce of an article.

That is about all I took out of that article.
