Latrell Mitchell Contract Discussion

[old_man_tiger]

@Ponyo Parra haven't been able to buy a premiership despite all their attempts, including massive salary cap rorts, gutting Canterbury in the 90s and picking up some of the most arrogant little nobodies that has ever been squeezed fron the NRL's sphincter.

They are just as bad as us when it comes to picking who to keep and who to sell. Look at the juniors they have let go (including matterson ironically).

They are propped up by property developers of an ilk who make drug lords look like saints, and followed by a bunch of inbred morons. I believe they are a broken, poorly run club over recent decades and have not gone through the pain we have to try and address it.

To top it all off, their mascot looks like a single, lonesome sperm infected by chicken pox.

The Cowboys are ok, they excel at losing to us.

@old_man_tiger That was worthy of a good chuckle. Thanks.

@AJ1 back page, crash said that Holmes has today signaled intention to play at cowboys next year.

 

[swag_tiger]

I think that Mitchell has played his way out of being able to be a Rooster next year with this contract saturation.

 

[The_P_man]

@Hbom I saw that as well. It seemed pretty clear that the Cowboys have good news regarding Holmes and he said something along the lines of it will be greeted well by the Wests Tigers.

TIGERS

Tigers believe Latrell Mitchell will be biggest club recruit since Ellery Hanley
The Tigers are giving their all to attract Latrell Mitchell to Concord, and the belief within the club is that the NSW star would be their biggest recruit since legendary Englishman Ellery Hanley.

That’s the view of Tigers chairman Lee Hagipantelis who says the club is unperturbed about the Sydney Roosters star also meeting with North Queensland on Monday.

Granted permission to negotiate with rival clubs by the Roosters after they pulled a two-year contract extension from 2021, the 22-year-old has been told by the Tigers he can fulfil his goal of moving from centre to fullback.

“Latrell Mitchell could be a generational player for the Tigers.

“I think he would elevate the enthusiasm in our club by 50 per cent.

“And it would be recognition that the club is heading in the right direction by securing players of that calibre.

“He’s 22 years of age, he’s got two premierships under his belt and a winning Origin series.

“It’s an opportunity for him to come and stamp his individual brilliance on a club.’’

Tigers coach Michael Maguire, football manager Adam Hartigan and chief executive Justin Pascoe drove to Taree last week to meet with the Test centre and his family.

“They have met and spoken,’’ Hagipantelis said.

“There’s no secret the Tigers want him and neither should we demure about our enthusiasm for him.’’

Hagipantelis said he took no concern that Mitchell was photographed meeting with Cowboys officials.

North Queensland are weighing up the option to sign the two-time premiership winner during a period of which they wait for confirmation from Valentine Holmes on if he intends to return to the NRL - or persist chasing his NFL dream.

“It’s well known the Cowboys are looking for a fullback,’’ Hagipantelis said.

“I suspect they’re (Cowboys) hedging their bets at the moment because it’s been reported there’s been an expression interest in Valentine Holmes.

“He wants to test his worth and that’s the appropriate thing for him to do.

“And when I say worth, it’s not just monetary terms either. No matter where he signs, it will be a large sum of money involved but there’s a lot more than that.

“It’s where he’s going to fill comfortable, where he’s going to feel appreciated, where he thinks he’s going to advance and create his own legacy.

“These are al the tangible factors that have to be brought into account.’’

The newly-pointed chairman who has replaced Barry O’Farrell said the Tigers would like an answer from Mitchell, “sooner rather than later.’’

“From what I understand Latrell isn’t due to return to any pre-season until after Christmas because of his involvement in the Australian team.

“However, it’s not in his interest or ours for things to linger. People like certainty and I’m sure he would, just as much as we would.

“But I don’t think anyone is going to come down with a hammer and pressure him. I don’t think it’s appropriate.’’

I really like this Lee bloke... Comes across as a fan first when he speaks

 

[Chaos]

Hopefully we keep hearing of the new signings, hopefully Latrell is in the mix of ‘Yet to be announced signings’

Side note… checked out the roosters forum, lots of guys over their saying if Latrell joins the tigers he will be part of a One Man band lol, and that he will be the only threat on the tigers team.
While a bunch saying how much a dog he is for not being loyal…
Like, didn’t we have a player who we stood by through injuries, developed etc ?
Some dude named James freaking Tedesco !!!
Hypocrites.

Roosters mate just sent me a text:

Commentary for 2020
“Brooks to Leilua, to Frizell, inside to Mitchell and Tigers score.
Roosters 44, Tigers 4!

Arrogant but funny😜

 

[diedpretty]

I have this nightmare that having exhausted all avenues except for the Tigers, Mitchell decides to see out his final year at the rorters and see what is on offer next year.
