Latrell Mitchell Contract Discussion

[magpiemac]

He just might say yes if he has nowhere else to go. Beats reserve grade

 

[balmain boy]

Biggest problem now as I mentioned before we pulled the offer is we now HAVE to spend around 1.1 million before June 30 (I believe) or we will get fined for not spending enough of our cap 94%

If we lose either Reynolds or McQueen that figure gets higher .....if you rule out players contracted for 2020 ........ouch .......cupboards bare Mother Hubbard

Cmon Happy, you should know that's not going to be a problem...

Leilua on 400k and then one big signing or 3 leiluas and it's done.

Worst case scenario they front load contracts again, but we do that every year. Time to spend (hopefully! - if the quality is there)

We should be having a chat to clubs that are still expressing interest in Latrell and potential players.

I would consider Ryan James, Rein, MacLean, Hess and a couple of others that would provide immediate benefits to our 2020 side.

If they were subsidised, even better

Any of those would be good in my books
Even rein would be our starting hooker
Ryan James would really boost our pack

Just talking to someone who knows Latrell and was talking to him today. What happened was that Chooks wanted to extend his contract and he told them to wait until next year. Other players such as Tedesco in same boat. Things then slightly turned to crap and with the media beat up other clubs came calling. He listened to what they had to say - why not do that? As far as he is concerned he has a contract for next year and expects to be playing at Chooks when they kiss and make up.

Not having a go at you, but that is hilarious.

That’s exactly what I expected and judging by his comments will be the case

So now we're saying the door is still open???

If we've pulled the offer the door should be closed, otherwise what does it actually mean to pull the offer?

This is just ridiculous now.

We've either closed the door or we haven't, if we haven't, then the offer hasn't been pulled.

Seems like he's called our bluff


Its not actually that hard to understand. The Tigers made an offer. If Latrell accepted that offer, they have a contract and pretty much both parties are bound to it. So for arguments sake Tigers could offer JAC $600K becuase if Latrell accepts his offer, Tigers are bound to it and would be buggered.

Tigers withdraw their offer, therefore Latrell cant accept it. Nothing stopping them talking in the future, but there is no offer and Tigers are free to pursue other options.

Whats ridiculous about any of that. Its professional, its business.

What's ridiculous is Latrell isn't interested in becoming a Tiger and he's playing us like fools and we're "leaving the door open" for him to wipe his feet on us again.
As I said, there's a lot of slow learners on this forum.

 

[TIGER]

@TIGER doesn't seem to bother you if you make yourself look like a clown so not sure your why your worried if our Chair looks like an idiot or not.

I've said from the beginning that players like Latrell don't sign with the Tigers.
If you just read Madges comments he clearly explained that we pulled the offer because of Latrells lack of commitment to our club.
Which means Latrell doesn't want to play for us, which is what I've been trying to get through people's thick heads

So please point out anything I've said that has been inaccurate.

Can you give it a rest mate.
The "I told u so" attitude isn't impressing anyone.
All I've seen from you is some high and mighty attitude.
Wow, congrats... you're pessimistic and moaned and groaned about the tigers trying to sign a star player and it didn't happen.

You predicted correct now you want praise for getting it right? Get outta here kid.

Nice strawman
You must only read what you want to hear, I wanted us to sign him I stated that more than once.
I just didn't believe that he would.
Do you understand the difference?
Keep reading what you want and ignoring what actually write though.

 

[Deleted member 3518]

@TIGER to be honest mate , there seemed to be a lot of people on here death riding the signing. And a few guys gloating.
I’m not sure if you’re a true tigers fan what’s to gloat about.
Maybe he’s just off all the constant negativity . And you were the personification of that .

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Not sure why you'd get off on being right about the club missing a bit name, regardless of whether you "wanted it to happen" or not. Weird flex TBH.

Can you do us a favour and can the “Latrell didn’t want to play for us”. We got you the first time.

But how else would we know if he didn't say it every second post?

 

[TIGER]

Holy c**p some fools lack basic year 10 comprehension skills.

At no point have the club said the door is closed.

At no point have the club confirmed any issues with Latrell or his actions, only those of his management.

At no point did the club confirm that Mitchell out of the blue decided not to show up to yesterday's meeting.

Trusting some c**p written by a muppet working for the telemurdoch over the clear and direct quotes from our chairperson?

Or choosing to ignore how twice, not once but twice, in Pascoe's original statement did he reference they would be happy to pick up discussions if Latrell wanted to.

The only quotes in that article from Madge are about commitment, and that clear and simple. He wants all players that join the club to be committed to one another and the club's cause. He's publicly spelled that out. Of course Mitchell hasn't committed to the club yet, and Madge is making it clear that if Mitchell wants to join he has to be fully committed.

The reason Latrell hasn't committed may be because he's not interested, or because he simply wants to consider all his options before he commits to anyone. If it's the later, that's fair enough, and going from Lee's interview last night i think that's where things stand.

The problem is there aren't any other options at the moment. Just us, hence all the stalling and trying to generate offers. But essentially, no club can offer as much money as we have, and no club can guarantee him fullback spot due to having recently signed incumbents in the position already. There may be no other options that arise, maybe a few players get offloaded and it becomes more possible but either way he needs to decide in the next week or so. Waiting until January would be a joke.

So in summary

- We offer Latrell 1 mil a year
- He has no other options

Biggest contract we've ever offered in our history + Him having no other option =
he still doesn't sign with us.

What does that tell you?

He doesn't want to play for us, not too hard to figure out

How could you possibly know that I'm getting off on it?
For the last time I WAS IN FAVOUR OF HIM BEING SIGNED!!!!!!

You guys read your own narritive into things.
You want someone to take your frustrations out on and it seems like it's me.

 

[swag_tiger]

Enough with the he did not want to come here. It's like a broken record here. I think we all saw it the first time someone said that. You guys don't need to ram it down everyone's throat.
