Latrell Mitchell Contract Discussion

[colinbh]

Rumours, don’t you love them?

 

[jirskyr]

I don’t understand how releasing gagai would free up money for Mitchell if they’re signing arrow for an amount worth more than gagai’s original contract especially if you consider the fact that the titans will want the bunnies to pay a percentage of the rumoured 700k before they would even consider signing him for that much. The numbers don’t add up. surely they would have to release two players outright while also taking into account arrows money for 2020.

Arrow is Burgess' money, so a straight swap. They might even have some left over from that.

Arrow is about 700.

Slammin Sam would have been on a million plus I am guessing. There is no way Arrow would be getting as much.

 

[PrattenParkMagpie]

Sam was on $900,000 ($3.6m over 4 years), Arrow is supposedly getting around $800,000.

I doubt those figures.

But who knows.

I posted this elsewhere, but to answer your question:

FWIW their insider, similar to the Pom, says they can fit LM without releasing AJ or Gagai…

But…they are worried about their balance. Ie too many backs : they want to add a Pommy forward.

So, they need Gagai to GC or AJ to us to balance their squad.

How can they fit 1.8 million dollars worth of players in a million cap space? The maths doesn't work... Even with releasing someone and especially when considering paying almost half their contract

Yes no one will take Gagai at full price especially when other clubs know Souths have to get rid of players. I believe it is more like 3 players Souths will need to move one.

 

[PrattenParkMagpie]

The logistics of the whole deal would be a nightmare, they got Burgess money but have spent most of it on Arrow, they only had 1 addition spot left in their roster and IMO it's unlikely they kept Mitchell type coin left for that last spot.

I estimate they would need to release 2 to 3 players to get both Arrow and Mitchell at the club for 2020 assuming the Bunnies would likely have to pay some of the contracts, and getting one in 2020 and the other in 2021 is no easier as they have don't appear to have a massive amount of coin off contract next year either.

Off Contract end of 2020: Tom Amone, Cory Denniss, Kurt Dillon, Bryson Goodwin, Alex Johnston, Liam Knight, Steven Marsters, Ky Rodwell and Bayley Sironen, and every player not re-signed needs to replaced in the roster.

They did lose Greg Inglis also.

He would have been on huge $$$

 

[Celticguy97]

They used the money from the Inglis retirement to sign Roberts and Sua from the broncos

 

[PrattenParkMagpie]

The Bunnies will be using GI's money for the next decade to sign players like the Dogs did with SBW's money. :grinning:

I call BS on this.

We've had enough speculation @ElleryHanley, let's allow this thread to die with some dignity.

Time to move on in 2020.

I don't think it is speculation to be honest.

LM is a superstar and it has all suddenly 'stopped'. That simply does not happen unless a deal has been done. Bennet's 'we don't need a center' line was a classic giveaway.

Anyway, should 'officially' be over soon...

Rugby League’s worst kept secret will be revealed very soon.

Latrell Mitchell has put pen to paper and has signed a 3 year contract at South Sydney.

I suspect someone will have to make way.
Dane Gagai is looking likely.

I doubt the 'official' ones from clubs like the Rorters and Souths also! 😉

Wow. Another ham and egger with inside info has thrown his hat into the ring.

Actually, he is a journalist for the DT.

Not that that makes him any better, but he is not hidden etc / clear who he is / replies and contactable.

I'll believe it when I hear it from LM's and Bennet's mouth.

 

[avocadoontoast]

Would be quite interesting if he went to Souths.

We went for Bennett, went to Souths. We went for Arrow, went to Souths. Went for LM, went to Souths. I wonder who we’ll be going after next that will sign with Souths. JAC?

I honestly think Bennet's 'we don't need a center' confirmed it. If you know anything about Bennett you would know that comment was deliberate.
