Latrell Mitchell Contract Discussion

[Tiger_Steve]

So apparently there is a few clubs in the mix for LM still and Tigers are not certain to pick him up.. LM is in no hurry to make up his mind so with that i can only assume he has us as a very very last resort.. If he wanted us he would commit but i think he really wants to go to a bigger club and is happy to wait it out... As a Club where do we draw the line - Do we say here is your deadline or do we try for another player with the money and if he doesn't commit we sign that other player.
As a club we just need to crack 1 big name signing and that will change everything but sadly I don't think it will be LM.

Apparently?? From where? Who said?

 

[swag_tiger]

@hsvjones that's Clarkey. If that was the case other journalists would be saying it too. And no one has said anything about it so i have my doubts.

 

[Tcat]

@hsvjones What clubs are still in the mix? I thought it was us and the cowboys, with cowboys looking out now with Holmes potential signing.

why are you getting so worked up over one gossip article on facebook?

 

[hsvjones]

@Tiger_Steve That Clarkey from Facebook... Hope its not true but going off our luck and past i find it believable..

 

[851]

If we are doing our due diligence, we will have approached a number of other players in case this falls through

 

[swag_tiger]

Surely some Facebook page won't have more information then some professional journalist.

Don’t know him but thanks. Yeah it’s easy to think the worst based on our history.

 

[hsvjones]

@avocadoontoast There is a hell of a lot of Tigers fans that are very nervous about this one as it would mean so much to us as a club.. I hope it is not correct but until it's official I doubt it we will get him.. But I 100% want him and would be extremely excited to have him..

 

[Joel Helmes]

Thing is, who else can afford him?

Roosters apparently won’t release him to Souths.

Manly - no
Sharks - no
Dragons - unlikely
Knights - maybe
Nth Qld - not with Holmes
Broncos - maybe
Titans - maybe
Raiders - no
Storm - no
Bulldogs - unlikely given public statements
Panthers - no
Eels - no

Broncos and titans have no cap at the moment. Knights would be touch and go cap wise

 

[Joel Helmes]

@WT2K agreed, and not really any word on them being on the verge of freeing up $s.

Other club I forgot was Warriors but that seems unlikely too.

An offer from another code? Super league?

If it was a powerhouse club that was to sign him up, I reckon it would be signed, sealed and delivered officially by now. Part of me thinks that LM is not overly keen to be a tiger and probably didn't think his options would be so limited a few weeks ago. Maybe holding out for something better.

Exactly but it's also okay not to sign someone. We shouldn't waste that money.

Ok and if it happens it happens. Getting your panties in a twist isn’t going to change the result. Chill.

 

[swag_tiger]

If Latrell doesn't wanna come to Concord then let the team know instead of making them wait.

Roosters ....

 

[Don Kershane]

Maybe he had a choice and didn't want the stereotype. His subsequent career and profile was individualistic.

 

[ElleryHanley]

Surely some Facebook page won't have more information then some professional journalist.

Clarkey has a history of personal photos with the Mitchell family and news from his friends / brother.

the longer and longer this drags out the more worried i get. I really hope he signs with us!!

Will make your username awkward if he doesn't..
