LM's signature would break the internet

So now we all admire Rothfield’s journalistic skills? Funny.

Hope for once the peanut got something right!

I really have my doubts now in regards to the Tigers signing LM.When it first came out that Latrell was on the outer at roosters I didn't think too much into it,but as reports came in that it was a done deal,I did get excited,he is a star player that could propel the team forward and really add that strike to the attack.However as negotiations dragged on,like many I wasn't surprised when it fell through and the Tigers withdrew there offer.Now I'm concerned if LM does come does he have the determination and mindset to be that player the tigers need him to be.His fitness,training and motivation will certainly have to go to another level if he wants to play fullback and challenge the Tedesco's and Ponga's etc.Playing for the roosters people are right when they say he floats in and out of games and goes missing.Well he can afford to do that in a star studded team with so much strikepower across the park,the Tigers can't afford this especially paying such a large pricetag.

Definitely!

I think there is no chance we are getting LM.

Buzz toying with us.

 

[happy_tiger]

Would you put your kids lives on it Buzz ??

Yeah true about Thurston I guess. Most things I say are wrong.


I was actually talking about off field skeletons in his closet...

Ah, I getcha.

I don't. Please tell us more

Hint, he had a long career and not all at the cows.


He got in strife up there as well. Dont get me wrong, he isnt an axe murderer but he isnt the wholesome good boy the media have painted him. I only dropped in with this as someone said that he had done nothing wrong. The media whitewash of JT was exceptional.


I’ve spent a bit of time over past few years in Townsville for work
Some of the stories locals told me about JT were pretty full on.Who knows how many are legit but they i was amazed what locals thought of him.I had always viewed him as some what of a role model ?

He was on all the highway billboards up this way till he retired.

I'm assuming he was the same sort of character that ET was at the Sharks during his playing days......
A generation of young shirelings were named Andrew after their famous footballing father had done his rounds.....

Probably Latrell next week

I think Buzz might be playing with us, although he’s not usually one to make jokes.

Like most ive pretty much given up on the idea of Latrel signing with us. I dont think either him or his hangers on rate the club.

Trouble is our backline is pedestrian. Not much will change without a signing like him.

Given that id up the offer to 3.3m over 3 and see if he bites.

 

[Tweed_Tiger]

I still think we most likely sign him

 

[NT_Tiger]

I think Rothfield reads the forum and just wanted to spin this thread again.

If Rothfield had info on us signing LM, he’d report it, he wouldn’t wait till some random asks him on Twitter. It would only be the biggest story in the game.

First we had the body language experts, now the handwriting 'cynic-detection' analysts.
We truly are a mad lot every last one of us.

But Rorhfield doesn’t answer everyone. In fact he’s very selective in who/what he responds to on Twitter. I believe this is the first time he’s mentioned Latrell since the whole thing started.

Wow ..I dunno who would follow the Boozehound closely enough to know how he responds..

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Rothfield saying Latrell to sign with Tigers next week (twitter)

Yeah I won't be putting too much stock into that. Obviously a slow week so with a tweet like that expect a manufactured story saying he and Wests have been negotiating on the sly or some such nonsense.
