Agree with you 100%. Give LM what he wants and build the club around him. At this stage it is our only option. As you said, our spine at present is unacceptable.
I think what he wants is to not play for the Tigers.
What more could we have offered?
Considering our offer was more than anyone elses.

If we can’t get anyone to sign with us now, why are they going to in 2021? (genuine question)
@balmain-boy said in [Latrell Mitchell Contract Discussion](/post/1087403) said:A lot of people that don't understand business and decision making. The only sound we've heard from Mitchell and his camp is that they're taking their time to consider all options.
Why do people on here find that so hard to comprehend?
It's like half the people on here are literally under the age of 10 impatiently demanding their parents give them their Christmas presents a few days early because they're already under the tree.
This is a big decision and the chances of him blindly grabbing at the first offer to come his way is minimal. Why should he?
We're an unattractive and unsuccessful club, that has forever been tortured by our own acceptance of of mediocrity. Until that changes, we will be an unattractive option to elite players and will have to pay overs to compete for them. The thing is to pick the right players to pay overs for, not the Reynolds, packers and Matulinos.
Other clubs have good and bad years, we only have average to poor years. 3 good seasons in 20 years is pathetic. We need to buck the trend and make a bold step forwards without relying exclusively on youth and fringe players.

Yes but it was quoting the offending post...
I didn’t quote anybody. Not sure why the posts were deleted after mine, or why mine was, but all good.
@GNR4LIFE said:If posts are deleted when they shouldn't be, including mine, I think we are owed some sort of explanation or reason for the deletion and our posts being un-deleted.
Is that too much to ask of the 'ministrators?

And by all reports... the only offer he's received..

Another genuine question, which players that have left their clubs did we miss out on that we wanted?
@Harvey said in [Latrell Mitchell Contract Discussion](/post/1087462) said:Apparently Lattrell was complaining about the intensity and the length of the season when he was with the Kangaroos.
He should have jumped at our offer, as our season is always over by September.
@cqtiger said in [Latrell Mitchell Contract Discussion](/post/1087499) said:Can someone explain to me what constitutes ‘overs’ for a fully fit player?
I’m reading Arrow being offered $800k by Souths? Also, Valentine Holmes offered $1m by Cowboys?
Lomax $3m over 6 years?
Are we the only ones paying overs for offering Latrell just under $1m a year?
Seems to me Souths want an immediate replacement for Burgess and Cowboys have wanted Holmes for a while but both clubs paid whatever to get their targets.
All the above are fit and raring to go so they aren’t in the Josh Reynolds, McQueen, Packerlino bracket.
