Latrell Mitchell Contract Discussion

[WT2K]

Feel like everyone is hanging on us to make an announcement when we should really be hanging on to the Roosters announcing his release.

Yep. Hopefully it happens this week or early next

 

[Sabre]

If this starts to turn into a circus we need to pull our offer off the table.

 

[TJ21]

Whether he signs or not I think an announcement is a while a way

 

[momo_amp_medo]

Yes .... it’s dragging on too long for all concerned.
And if in fact Roosters have given Mitchell Camp that a “hurry up” than all credit to them. I think they want him with us rather than anyone else and off their books sooner rather than later.

The club is in a better position than us to know if it Its a circus or not. There’s no indication that it is, except for a few disgruntled supporters who don’t know the meaning of the word patience.

Only needs to agree to terms and the Rorters can release him..

 

[Milky]

This is far from over...

Dont expect an announcement any time soon

 

[marzie]

@Milky what do you mean by that exactly?

 

[BermiTiger]

Now they are saying his contract is worth $750,000 for next year at the Roosters. All I had read was $450k? Must be gone if they are expanding the sombrero on the way out.

 

[JD Tiger]

If we don't get him, who do we target with all our money? Arrow?

Roosters will force the issue very shortly. They have publicly cut ties a release is inevitable. If he is signing with theTigers he should get it done parading around hurts your reputation and creates a circus with these very average click bait journalists that cover Rugby League.

 

[Newtown]

@JD-Tiger His wife was indicating that Souths is the target.

 

[JD Tiger]

@BermiTiger Yeah I noticed that. And unless I missed it, it didn't say who at the Roosters said that to Latrell. Seemed really odd, why write that story? With no quotes, no names, just, he can play Reserve Grade...

 

[The_Patriot]

Roosters know he wants to have a look at Souths. Imo they are saying sign with tigers or you play reserves.

 

[851]

Looks like Roosters want him off the books ASAP

That worked so well for JT when he used that threat of playing reserve grade if you stay.

 

[LeichhardtTiger]

@GNR4LIFE Exactly - he can't sign a Contract to play with us next year if he is currently employed at the Roosters.

 

[JD Tiger]

@The_Patriot Certainly hope Greenburg keeps his mouth shut. I hesitate to say it, but imagine the drama if he comes out now and proclaims that Burgess can be medically retired. Tigers fans will crucify him. And Latrell... :white_frowning_face:

 

[hsvjones]

@Newtown Not sure what you know but my gut say LM will drag this out to give Souths more time to create the funds... Rooster will release him regardless if it souths our not but the big concern is they have alot of indigenous Players / Ex players and that would be a big factor for him i would think.. Not to mention Wayne and the unlimited TPA funds they would have to give him and his family.. I just don't feel good about this at all for some reason..

 

[Spud_Murphy]

Pretty slack of them to do that I reckon. If they really don’t want him at the club anymore then he should be able to go and play where he wants to play, not force him to sign somewhere else. It doesn’t help anyone.
