Latrell Mitchell Contract Discussion

[tony soprano]

What’s a contract these days anyway we had matterson on 3 years

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....


He won’t be joining reynolds cause reynolds won’t be here

What's the latest on the LM chase?


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.

In other words he will join Souths in 2021.

Do you really think the club will agree to a one year deal knowing that Mitchell is just biding his time with us until the club he really wants to go to has the funds?

This is not such a bad idea ...the big picture has to be considered the success of the club is reliant on success on the field . LM signs on for next season only the Tigers make top 8 and might push a bit into the finals series. The club is going to be hugely active in the player market for 2021 the COE will be under construction the club has surged into the top 8 the club is a much more attractive offer .
I see this as using LM more so him using the club , could hook the Foxx in the meantime Latrel thinks ok this is not such a bad place after all or he moves on to SOuths but the club comes out the winner .
Do not write this idea off as it has some merit to it!

Worked for the Raptors and Kawhi.

How many players in a basketball team again?

Straight no to a 1 year deal for me. What’s the point? All we do is get him fit for another club next year.

 

[Ponyo]

You guys have managed to get yourselves bent out of shape for 2 pages over what the fake smoking gun said about 1 year contract.

I want to know more what he thinks he knows about Reynolds..that was a bold statement

One year deal - not on your Nellie for mine.

That is just being used to the fullest extent - used to help those mongrels in the Cardinal and Myrtle.


Imagine a sports star using a team. Unheard of. Tigers have about 1.6mil to spend for 2020. Spend it. 2020 with trel at fullback is better than 2020 with Mbye at fullback. Worry about the rest later.

Imagine a team being dumb enough to allow a sports star to flagrantly use them and turn them into a laughing stock halfway house.

Would you sign him if it meant tigers became a legit contender? Even if only one season? Or stick with mbye and miss finals again for the next 2 years. It’s a win win for both club and player. It’s unlikely it would be a 1 year deal but to think it’s not beneficial for the club AND player is stupid

 

[GNR4LIFE]

What does it matter after what Matterson did. Even if we sign him for 10 years, if he’s not happy at the end of 2020, he’ll ask for a release and he’ll get one.

 

[Harvey]

What do you do when he doesn't put in for the year that he is here? Refuses to put body on the line etc. and becomes a weakness @ $1m a year?

 

[Tiger_Steve]

If we sign him to a one year deal our recruitment team will spend all of next year trying to secure him for 2021 and longer. In the meantime other quality player signings will be overlooked and missed. If he wants to sign it’s three years or nothing.

As far as I know he’s going to be stood down from all club duties until it’s resolved by the courts. Not his first incident just quietly

 

[GNR4LIFE]

While a one year contract isn’t ideal, I can see the logic. It’s basically a test of what he thinks of the club. If we were to extend him again for 2021 on, then we could rest easy and put to bed all the rubbish about how he doesn’t want to be here, and has no other options. If we sign him for 3 or 4 years off the bat, who knows when he might pull a Matterson.

Don't know if you're doing it for the banter but
I need some time out from all of this...

That arrangement would be absolute garbage.
If he is playing us like this and from everything that has happened so far it very much seems to me that he is ..... then I would be disappointed that we are still in the market for this man.
From people I have spoken on this matter, that are NRL fans and not WT supporters ..... they are just laughing at us.

 

[Tcat]

There's no way I'd be signing Latrell for 1 year, unless it's for 500k. Who cares if it's less than what the Roosters are paying him, he will be playing first grade and at fullback. If he wants to commit to us after 2020, then let's obviously lift the price. I know many will laugh at the idea of 500k, but if he won't commit, then why should we at what he is asking for.

'New' smoking gun losing credibility real quick with that idea.

I have no inside sources, but let me tell you now - LM at the TIgers for one year will not happen. Scoooooooooooop.

Now I know you are speculating. Put you on the shelf with the Media scrum fellows.

Think what you want. It’s a legitimate option for LM.

Why does Buzz always write manipulative opinion pieces masquerading as articles , that seem to always have the tigers looking like fools .
This has really kicked up a notch in the last few years since he was named sports editor of the Tele.
That article is just plain crap . His hatred of marina go because she called him out for being a bad bloke , is now famous. He is always pushing the negative angles for the tigers.
I don’t mind that Lee has a close relationship with the roosters , because in the end, if we start to be apart of the click , because there definitely is one , maybe this rubbish will go away .
