Latrell Mitchell Contract Discussion

[Tigerboy]

@Tigerboy

Ok, ill bite as I cant be bothered going back and reading your posts...Is your inside info saying LM is coming or are you just posting rubbish.

Wouldn’t have tagged Pom if I wasn’t sure that he has absolutely acquired some type of knowledge I’m seeking confirmation for. What on earth would you know? Why do you think that you’re some kind of important being who I would ever seek to bignote myself to...

Steve said it, you’re just being a drama queen and playing echo because of a lack of patience and integrity. Why would I put my employers offside to endear myself to you?

Get a bloody grip.

He is coming there’s speculation about some stuff he may be writing into the contract that leads me to believe he may only focus on money & glory ala Matterson... it’s nothing that can be confirmed or denied and of course we’re all on edge. Me too, especially my family!! Jeez, next time I seriously won’t bother opening myself up

Sorry tiger boy. Pressed wrong button. Didnt mean to add you.

What are you hearing?
Do you know what I know?
Are you as important as me?
Stop the pretentious garbage!!
If you know and can tell - do it!
If not - don’t post!


Always agree with you, but no way... if you know you know, if you don’t suck it up. It’s in bad taste to shoot anybody down on the suspicion that you don’t ‘really’ think they know as much as they’ve claimed or to assume they shouldn’t be posting anything at all other than a confirmed signing...

This thread is for rumours and the word I’ve heard on the street wouldn’t be making any of us happy here on the forum. It’s also barely passed Morning on Monday right now, relax!

Hence, a subtle cross check with POM?

He is usually the last man to be told when it’s common knowledge and thus by that point it’s usually being printed off in the press.

I’m not trying to give Pooper his next scoop

I've been given 2 sets of mail...one of them said he was staying at the Roosters...the other one said it's a done deal. Papers are reporting a meeting with the Cowboys.

These are people who are closer to the situation, but in saying that, they aren't as close as what Madge, Pascoe or Hartigan would be.

Reports are conflicting right now and I'm guessing the truth is that no one really knows what's going on except Mitchell himself.

What we do know is that there are 3 teams he could play for in 2020 - Roosters, Tigers or Cowboys.

We have a rails run, but it will depend on the Roosters releasing him and what the Cowboys do with Holmes...Cowboys have stayed solid on Holmes and my understanding is he signed an agreement pending his endeavors in the NFL.

If you think about it logically, the Cowboys and the Tigers would be offering similar money. I don't think it's got anything to do with the cash on offer - that's just my opinion.

As someone has mentioned, there has only been one confirmed signing in the NRL, so it's not unusual that there is no news...this is a big deal that is a bit last minute, so there are probably little things that need working through.

And that is simply all I’d said, totally in sync with what you’re hearing except that he will not be a cock in 2020. Possibly even harder for us to be patient at times like this with so much totally irrelevant info flying over each other’s heads. It is the fine print that’s proving an issue

@Tigerboy


Hmm not sure what you're on about mate. Not being a drama queen and you telling me to get a grip? ha!

Honestly, your posts read like they were written by a 12 year old. I was just after a clear indication on what you were eluding too. If you don't want to tell, fine, but don't come on a public forum sprouting theories if you don't want to be questioned on it.

Go have a lay down and let the adults speak.

Oh mate, I do apologise. Meant @GNR4LIFE

Yeah I hadn't heard about the fine print issues, but had heard it was done.

Even that is conflicting because if it was done, the fine print would have been taken care of hahaha...perhaps I have a different definition of "done".

Although it's painful having to ride this out, it's awesome to see the leaks in the club seem to have been plugged.

On a side note, and maybe I'm reading too much into this, but if you compare the way Lee Hadgipantelis is talking about Mitchell to the way the Cowboys are talking about the potential signing, it's chalk and cheese.

Normally, you wouldn't open yourself to having egg on your face by gushing about a player unless you knew something was going in your favour...just a hunch

It’s an odd thing to ask. “Are you hearing what i’m hearing?”

Is The Pom a mind reader to know what he’s hearing if he doesn’t specify? There are a few on here with genuine info. There are others, who also may be genuine, but the priority is to big note themselves with the old “I know something you don’t”. And at times like this, when everyone is on edge, it isn’t endearing.


Don’t worry, ‘GNR’ it’ll be out in the open soon for you to shoot down ya cynic ! Hahaha somebody referred to it as jerking off but let me tell you, I don’t post things on here without confirmation and the only thing it would seem I got wrong was that we had genuine interest in Mannah... even then too hard to know for sure. You must have a really unhappy life though, and I didn’t want to step on any toes by posting up a story I’ve been passed on that has nothing to do with us fans of the club, yes it has to do with a potential future contract but not in a good way. Why would I wake everybody up to that news?

Nah, I’d rather carry that burden for people like yourself mate, honestly have some faith.

Not sure why everybody is talking patience because it shows how far some of us are off the pulse of the Wests Tigers, it’s a very rushed and angsty morning based on all of this and when I write that Madge shoots WEEKS AGO, I’m 100% he has scored. Was seeing how close the POM is out their in the field to knowing the actual stipulations and yearly $/value. If I had of tagged a bunch of others and said: “Ha ha you guys wouldn’t know anything about it”, and proceeded to brag then I’d understand. U sound salty

You've just gone a thousand word rant cos someone didn't like your ''I know something, you don't, look at me, look at me'' post, and I'm the salty one? right.

Now write another one.

 

[marzie]

Robinson is quoted as saying once LM informed them he'd be looking around for a fullback position and more money they advised him that's fine but wouldn't be waiting around hence pulling the offer so ld be very suprised if he sees out his final year there

 

[Tigerboy]

Ok. So, did I post something directly insinuating something that nobody knows about or did I cross-check that Pom had/has heard the exact same info about the small print on L.M contract??? If you choose to take it as an insult or something totally BS then go and grab ya pinch of salt, I’ve personally never posted something on here for attention unless it was passed on to me by my employers and I think you’ll find they have a lot of pride in my ability to release the info when it’s ready to go.

NOBODY else would’ve even seen or read the stipulations of the deal yet. Hoping POM might’ve been able to allay some of my (our) fears but he clearly is also very busy atm.

Sorry to anybody I’ve offended.
Happy days ahead.

Thousand? C’mon mate we’ve sorted through our issues before.. it was a harmless comment not meant to put anybody offside. I’ll apologise! Still looking at me??

 

[TheDaBoss]

'We've got to move on': Trent Robinson lifts lid on infamous Latrell Mitchell meeting
By WWOS staff
38 minutes ago

Roosters coach Trent Robinson has revealed what was said in the now infamous conversation between he and Latrell Mitchell that led to the club rescinding an $800,000-a-season offer to the centre.

Mitchell has struggled to escape the NRL spotlight since shopping himself on the NRL free market in what has become a highly-publicised saga for the 22-year-old.An apparent fixation on securing a contract of $1 million-a-season has left some fans disaffected by the youngster. It also led the Roosters to pull their offer off the table after weeks of negotiation.

Since that time, Mitchell has returned to his home town of Taree, where he is reportedly closing in on a big money move to either the Wests Tigers or North Queensland Cowboys. This morning Robinson lifted the lid on what exactly was said to Mitchell behind closed doors at Bondi. "Latrell and I sat down 10 days ago and it was really simple," Robinson told SEN Breakfast.

"There's a lot that's been said but Latrell's a good man and he's delivered for the Roosters and he wants to explore his opportunities.


"A lot's been written and we're happy for him to do that; it's just we can't sit and wait for that to happen, we've got to move on as well." Suggestions Mitchell was seeking a positional switch to fullback in a move that would warrant his $1 million pay-day was confirmed by Robinson.

But it's a move that could never have happened at the Roosters with the consensus pick for best player in the NRL, James Tedesco, leading the club to historic back-to-back premierships in the No.1 jersey. "There's been a lot that's been said around the way we feel about it. I don't give energy to it to be honest. Latrell's a good man, we've got a good relationship," Robinson added.

"I think he wants to play fullback, I think that's his desire. So he's going to go and explore his opportunities, it's a simple as that.

In May, reports emerged the Roosters were aware there had been people in Mitchell's ear suggesting a move to the Rabbitohs would be the right fit for him in the wake of Greg Inglis' shock retirement. The centre also trialled in the halves during a mini injury crisis at the Roosters this season; a move that showed promise but wasn't entirely convincing.

According to News Corp, Tigers coach Michael Maguire, club chief Justin Pascoe and general manager Adam Hartigan will be in Taree on Friday to meet with Mitchell.

Meanwhile Nine's chief rugby league reporter Danny Weidler has claimed Mitchell's interest in playing for North Queensland had flattered the club and that he would be met at the airport by Cowboys icon Johnathan Thurston when he visited Townsville next week.

Normally, you wouldn't open yourself to having egg on your face by gushing about a player unless you knew something was going in your favour...just a hunch

It’s a combination of fine-print and second thoughts, nothing new to signing news. Definitely something that has had me worried but also heard it’s done - last week. Wondering what usually takes this long to get it over the line when there is no official release from roosters and the next financial year has started... the kind of info that people very high up at the club may have passed on. I literally do not have an answer to speculate on a young man’s personal problems

 

[Telltails]

I like reading any info atm - good or bad / confirmed or rumour. Keep it coming or there will nothing to talk about.
I always make my own mind up about what to believe and what not to believe anyway. Sometimes I',m right and sometimes I'm wrong.
Already have been wrong about Latrell didn't even think we would be in the discussion... ....but now we are an each way bet.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

I have to comment that it refreshing we are still in the mix for Latrell. Usually we would not be taken seriously. Ihis is a huge break through fClub.

So I’m guessing, by all the ambiguity of the recent conversation, that Mitchell is indeed coming but he is s mercenary, a la Matterson, and could just as quickly leave us if things don’t go the way he wants them to go money-wise etc. Geez they sure breed some tossers in the Eastern Suburbs ?

And yet you do. Nobody had insinuated anything to do with any personal problems in the delay or negotiations until you dropped that in. Pretty poor form IMO.

What do people expect? Do we expect Latrell to say "I really love the colour gold so I really want to play with the Tigers!!", or "I love the fact that you guys never play past early September so I really want to play with you guys...".

He is coming from the top club in the NRL, where money, resources, coaching, team mates are of the highest calibre with nothing left wanting, why else would he come here.

Of course its for money but I also hope that there is enough positives available (good coach, reasonable young talent) that he feels its worth the gamble.

In fairness, he was responding to my speculation when I wrote

[bptiger]

@Glenn5150 don't worry , hes not coming. so we can start looking to sign 4-5 players instead of 1 over rated player, so chill out and wait to see who else madge brings in.
