Latrell Mitchell Contract Discussion

[4jtigers]

If the rumour is right that Tigers have offered $1.2m for 4 years it might be hard to knock back.

Obviously you are not up to date with the whole thing - might be a good thing you didn't read the posts above your posts or maybe you should've before posting anything about what you just said - the rumour

like what Glenn5150 said there's no offer to knock back or accept - you will best find the answer to the question why if you read the MANY previous posts RE: OFFER ... lol

If we have 1.2 mil to offer Mitchell, surely we can table offers to the bloke from cronulla and JAC they couldn't knock back....much better value

It's still staggering along, waiting for Curtis Rona to come along and lead it to it's inevitable demise.

Only repeating a rumour from someone who spoke to a cousin of Lattrells on the weekend. It may have no substance as some have suggested. Don't shoot the messenger.

Thanks for passing it on. Not sure why it drew the reaction it did from a couple of posters but that seems to happen here from time to time. Can't help thinking a couple of forum members were taken off the breast before they were quite ready to move on to solid foods.

Wests Tigers withdrew their rich offer for Latrell Mitchell last week but club chairman Lee Hagipantelis has now declared: “Never say never.”

While Wests Tigers won’t reopen negotiations, Hagipantelis said they would be prepared to talk if Mitchell approached them.

The Tigers have the money and salary cap space to sign Mitchell from next season but have moved on from the Kangaroos star …

“(Wests Tigers CEO) Justin Pascoe said the other day that the offer has been formally withdrawn and the club has moved on,” Hagipantelis said.

“But it would be remiss of any club not to entertain discussions if we were approached by Latrell. If he came to us, we would have to listen to what he had to say.

“It would be silly to say that door is permanently closed. I don’t think anyone would say the door has been nailed shut. We wouldn’t shut ourselves off to any opportunities.

“If Latrell came to us and said he would like to chat, we would chat. As I say, never say never. Latrell’s destiny is in his hands entirely.”

Gold Coast remain committed to signing Mitchell, while Wests Tigers and North Queensland are carefully monitoring any developments. Rugby Australia won’t be offering him a contract.


Mitchell is still signed with Sydney Roosters for next season but is highly unlikely to be at Bondi next season.

“The difficulty is this is a very active player market at the moment and other opportunities are presenting themselves,” Hagipantelis said.

“If an opportunity presents itself, and the Tigers believe it’s in the best interests of the club, then we will take that opportunity.

“Contract negotiations are a delicate thing but people need certainty.

“I’m not imposing any time limits or deadlines but we are actively in the market again and considering our options.

“There were negotiations (with Mitchell), there were discussions. They have ended and now we’re looking at other possibilities.”

Hagipantelis said Mitchell needed to escape the pressure and scrutiny to reach his final decision.

“I think the kid just needs a bit of space and a bit of time,” he said. “He needs as much certainty as the club does.

“He may or may not have other options available to him. But he will take his time, consider his options and decide what is best for him and his family. I have to respect him for that.”

North Queensland haven’t lodged an offer for Mitchell but, like Wests Tigers, their interest would be rekindled if he was genuine about a move to Townsville.

Mitchell had been promised a three-year, $3 million deal with Wests Tigers which included a guarantee to play at fullback.

Sounds to me as we have publicly removed our offer so we can work on this behind the scenes with out any pressure fingers crossed anyways

 

[coivtny]

Like a few forum members I have been impressed with the few public utterings of our new Chairman. But, his latest effort is a little worrying and is suggestive of someone who likes the limelight. I think it would be better if nothing further was said by our club about LM. We are starting to sound a little desperate.

 

[Harvey]

What a circus. There is another article saying that the roosters have tried to offload him to the wolf pack via Brian Noble

 

[851]

Don't know what to make of it, maybe the WestsTigers have another player lined up and are giving Mitchell a chance to get in first, but at least we did say Mitchell would have to approach us, so we can't be to hard on our chairman

 

[happy_tiger]

My understanding Latrell was expecting to go back to training mid December

Doesn't leave much room for whoever he is going to

Sneaky bug her might be doing it to avoid pre season training lol

I agree ...... he is rehashing what he already said when the club pulled the contract.
He should butt out now and let the Coach and the Football club get on with the business of looking for players who show commitment to play for us.
We waisted enough time and effort on this grub and his entourage of parasites managing him.

@coivtny really? I actually don't mind it. He is literally stating the facts. Nothing he has said makes us sound desperate at all
