Latrell Mitchell Contract Discussion

[swag_tiger]

My blood pressure is getting too high for this thread.

 

[Tiger_Steve]

That’s good to know. Would have been a very silly post

Must have pulled it down, or its been 24hrs... but Im sure I saw it earlier today.

It was on his Instagram story - reposted from someone else so not his own words. But still means he agrees with it.

It wasn't Latrell Mitchell..some numpty posted it as a tweet on his page..

Mate I saw it on LMs instagram, he reposted it. Not saying he wrote it, but he shared it.

 

[Chaos]

LM reposted something suggesting its funny how the media are all over him for exploring his options, while another NRL player who assaulted a woman isn't getting spoken about at all - speaking of Reynolds.

You wouldn't do that if you were joining that player would you....

Where did he post that?

To avoid confusion, he reposted the tweet to his Instagram story. Instagram stories aren't permanent posts and only last for 24 hours. I think it was more of a shot to the NRL & media than anything or anyone to be fair.

Can't wait for the Pascoe Q and A this week. Will be extremely interesting.

Is anyone willing to ask the tough question?

Why are the WestsTigers the least desirable location in the league for marquee recruits?

I think that bad mouthing from ex Tiger players like Matterson and Moses has a lot to do with it. Plus the ill feeling towards Maguire from some Souths players.

I do think though if we get bad mouthed by former players we have to respond. Letting negative comments just float there without response by club only feeds the impression. We have a media dept- let them respond with positives:

Matterson- In 1 season WT took him from bench player at Roosters to a starting, 80 minute backrower whose efforts were rewarded by selection in the SOO extended squad.

Moses- It was Moses own poor efforts and playing games with WT management over potentially -re-signing with us whilst negotiating with Parramatta that led to us withdrawing our offer to him. His subsequent behaviour on the field to the detriment of his team mates and the club left us no choice but to grant him mid-season release to Parramatta. Wests Tigers are glad he seems to have matured at Parramatta.

 

[Defiant]

Let's front load some players and have a crack. So over Lattrell garbage.

It's obvious LM doesnt want to come here. WT management need to keep our dignity and totally close the door on LM. I'll be guttered if the door is left open for him and he either plays for Norths or takes a big pay cut to play elsewhere. We'll never be taken seriously by any quality player.

Yeah surely the club has some idea of what's going on

Who knows he may have already signed with us and we are close to announcing it

But if the rumors are true about his genuine interest in joining the rabbits and he is stalling with us Just publicly announced that we are closing the door on LM for good so he has no bargaining power with rabbits

While a desperate club constantly dangles a permanent million $ a season in front of a player that obviously wants to go elsewhere he will not make a decision. The Tigers are looking desperate..time for the club to make it known LM is no longer required this obviously is not the case as it seems common knowledge a contract is on the table !
I have already stated if LM wanted his million a season he would of signed weeks ago,one week it is all about money today money is not the issue will play for the Bunnies for heaps less!
I am becoming tired of the way our club is dealing with this ,looks like begging to LM by the Chairman and Ceo is not far of ..the desperation being shown is not a good look!

 

[OzLuke]

enough is enough of this soap opera. Time to let the chase go and move on with players that want to be at the club, whether it be experienced players wanting to have a go, or young kids wanting to prove themselves.
Total pelican this guy

He seems to be enjoying all of this. I really hope I'm wrong but after more than a month;?

Should know for sure next week. It’s tigers or roosters for 2020. Last I heard LM might only now want a one year deal for 2020. And retest for 2021. Not a bad idea tbh.

that would make his signature unappealing for every single club. why waste your time if he's not there long term.

I didn’t think we had re-offered? Sorry if I am incorrect but I thought we had maintained the “door is open” policy? Or are we now back to genuine offer which once provideD cannot be retracted without notification.

There is literally no other decent fullback on the market this is our best chance of making the 8 we have to be patient I’m sure we will know where he playing next year before Next Saturday

Oh wow really?

This happening is a real shame, as I was looking forward to seeing what an injury-free Reynolds can bring this season. Unlike many on here I still rate Reynolds as a player, it’s only injuries that have held him back. Now he is fit it would’ve been great having him in the team, especially with his experience & utility value with our lack of a real hooker.

Damn shame for him to go out this way, we really can’t catch a break can we?
