Here we go again
So much for Mitchell’s never-ending contract saga being wrapped up before Christmas.
The waters are set to become much murkier with Mitchell’s accredited agent, Wayde Rushton, on the outer — and he hasn't been told why.
Mitchell is being heavily influenced by Matt Rose, a boxing promoter who also represents Walker and Jack Wighton. He also has the ear of Addo-Carr and several other Indigenous players.
Rose told News Corp earlier this week he doesn’t represent Mitchell and hasn’t been dealing with clubs on his behalf. The clubs that Rose has been selling Mitchell to scoff at this.
If Mitchell leaves Rushton and Rose takes over, that will mean three managers have represented him this year. That’s got to be some sort of record.
Tigers chief executive Justin Pascoe keeps saying the club is no longer interested in Mitchell but make no mistake: far more influential figures at the joint venture certainly are.
If Mitchell is going to Souths as many expect, it will be reliant on them moving a player. Dane Gagai seems the most likely, given he’s on $700,000 a season but there’s plenty of muddied water to go under the bridge before that happens.
It is, we must say, turning into pass-the-popcorn stuff with Mitchell digging in and the Roosters not getting rid of him as easily as they hoped.

Geez Andrew Webster is stretching it with a "Kaepernick moment" headline...LM is situation is, literally, absolutely nothing like Kaepernick.
Not even remotely close.
Sorry, mate. I skipped the bit about the anthem at the allstars match.
