Latrell Mitchell Contract Discussion

[69tiger]

@Ponyo I have some concerns, the roosters don’t want him,as he is damaged goods, his mind goes on walkabout frequently, and looks disinterested a lot when playing ,do you think they would do the same to James Tedesco,and tell him he was free to negotiate, I don’t think so!!! this could be the signing of a lifetime, or a huge mistake ,only time will tell``

@TigerTrell Have to chuckle here when Farah was told he would be playing reserve grade there was a total melt down by the media and supporters ..How Could You was the cry ! But for the Roosters who cares...

My concern with all this Latrell talk is , that , the roosters want him to sign with Wests Tigers and not with the rabbitohs. Whats to say that if he doesnt get another contract with anyone else (cowboys , bulldogs etc etc) other than the Wests Tigers and he uses us for a year then jumps ship to the rabbitohs ala matterson to parra???

I’m sure that’s part of why time is being taken. The club has been doing due diligence, no doubt about it.

why is there a debate whether we should sign him or not? we signed josh reynolds; russel packer; ben matalino and that other tatted up guy from souths. Common people!

LM i reckon is one of the top players in the comp!

Hey bud.

I Think your post answers your own question .

We Tigers fans have a cautious spirit precisely because the same CEO signed or oversaw the recruitment of those u named above.

The amount of supposed Wests Tigers fans who are voicing their disapproval of the potential signing of Latrell Mitchell is disturbing. This fan base are a special breed.

Ive seen some crap through the Taylor v Farah days or right back to the end of Sheens days but this takes the cake.

I hardly identify with half our fan base. They dont seem to support the same club i do.

It hard as a Wests Tigers fan, especially this year. We thought we had DWZ, couldn't free up the money, we couldn't get Mannah over the line but who cares. I am impatient. The club i am worried about most is Souths, if they get a salary cap concession for S. Burgess, they have the money and fullback spot. I know Rooster said they wouldn't release him to Souths but he could still sign there for 2021. Souths could maybe offer a player as compensation and an Adam Douhi

Mannah decided that the risk of loosing his ambasidorial role with the Eels wasn't worth a short stint with the Tigers.

Nothing to.do.with us.....

Mannah would've been handy. He finished the season in beast mode in State Cup, averaging 31 tackles and 162 metres per game while offloading, breaking tackles and scoring a few tries. He wasn't a spent force at all.

 

[supercoach]

We have apparently offered him a million a year, so if money is his goal we are in like Flynn....if we are talking NRL

But what about rugby, they are desperate for a super star and of course all the cashed up rugby clubs abroad in France,UK and Japan would not think twice about throwing a million plus at a freak like Latrell.

It’s not over to the fat lady sings and Iam worried she has lost her voice

Don’t worry mate, all will be ok, we can get Alex Johnson instead! 😂

@happy_tiger only because JT cpached Tedesvo to go to the left on a sweep every play. My god he had two players outside him all the time and never passed. Worst offence of all time.

Huh? so that was JT's fault that Turdesco didn't pass the ball. I know a lot of people on here hate JT but that is just ridiculous.

I dont mind JT


10x better than cameron smith

 

[JD Tiger]

@Spartan117 wait wait wait. So Mannah had an offer of an ambassador role made to him, for after he retires, which influenced his decision to stay with the club?

Isn't that the exact sort of thing which cost us over $600k off our cap and got Pascoe suspended for 6 months??

 

[diedpretty]

@innsaneink Yep. That's pretty close to Taree.

Much closer than ESL as someone suggested.

Everyone knows i dislike Taylor. That said yeah id blame him. Cronk and Tedesco only started working for the Roosters once Taylor was demoted out of the place.

The block play he ran was out of fashion and easily read by top teams.

You forgot the RLPA who were going to take us apart.

LOL. Okay. That explains why Turdesco didn't pass the ball when he had 2 players outside him. You should have left the first sentence out - it made the rest of your post irrelevant.

Nah i dont care if people still support the guy. The truth of the matter has played out. I have nothing to hide or leave out to make the truth any more truthful.

I don't support JT - I wasn't even replying to you - I was replying to some poster who suggested Turdesco didn't pass the ball because of JT. That's an absolutely ridiculous assumption. Then you turn that stupid assumption in to a truth. What you're suggesting is that the guy who is rated the best player in the world didn't pass the ball because JT told him not to. Righto.

 

[SeanT]

Tedesco didnt pass the ballbecause of his own choice as well as the game plan. By the time he took the pass on the sweep he was 10 metres from the sideline. Our halves floated sideways and gave no chance to the outside. How different is Tedesco when he can roam accross thefield.
