Latrell Mitchell Contract Discussion

[Geo]

Yep I'd up the original offer by a couple hundred thousand to get him

We 100% need him

The money we originally offered was not the reason he shied away from us

What was the reason?

The marketing fell through..

Most of us can't handle the answer to that question every time it pops up.

Preach.

We played Reynolds, Packer and McQueen in CC

Yes but there not Latrell Mitchell

 

[2041]

4 years for 4.2 million and he plays fullback

Front load his contract as it seems we won’t be signing anyone else for 2020 with significant value

1.2 million - 2020
1 million - 2021
1 million - 2022
1 million - 2023

This would be great business

Especially if we can get the roosters to chip in

Why on earth would they do that?

Because they're desperate to get rid of him before 2020.

They don't want all of his salary wasted playing for North Sydney.

Zero chance that happens. If he doesn't sign elsewhere they'll kiss and make up and he'll be lining up in the centres by round three. Obvious mutual interest in making it work.

If this is true, we have to up the ante and bump our offer. Offer him 1.3 if that’s what it takes. I know it’s overs, it’s obvious that’s what it will take to get him here. We’re having no luck, so desperate times call for desperate measures.

Trouble is what we have offered him and then withdrawn was way overs in my opinion. Now people are talking about another 300,000 per year.

How far above overs do you go?

Yes, yes, as far as it takes to get him...... No! the offer we tabled is too much.

850k per year would be my offer. I don't think he is a million dollar player....Yet!


‘Yet’ that’s the key word, why not get him on board now?
It is a risk, but the positives out weigh the negatives in my opinion, sadly, we are used to dud signings already, if it goes bad we can handle it.

You mean have a waste of 1 mill for another three years. Not worth the money - too big a risk. I know we are desperate but......

I don’t think it will be a waste, we have the cash that we have to spend, we need what he can potentially offer.
It’s a risk, but Not a waste.
We’ve signed a lot players at an ‘Overs Rate’.
Latrell is 22, he will only get better over the next few years.

What if he decides that he doesn't like it at the WT's as some of the other players have done and wants to break his contract (hopefully WT's have learned by their mistakes and put a clause in which will not allow him to do that ) I'm sick of these players that want out as soon as they get sick of it for whatever reason.

But of course we don't know that he is going to sign with us- I'll be surprised if he does:angry:

That would be the risk, and if he decides to back out after year one then at least we have more cash to spend on other quality players for 2021.
As many ppl have said in this forum, we need to pay overs at this point to draw in big names, hopefully next season our on field performance will show the direction we want to go, we need change, 9th place isn’t good enough.

Why on earth would they do that?

To be fair, though not the same context, contractually, they will have already paid his November monies.

 

[2041]

So us offering a million is equivalent to other club offer maybe 700k. That’s how far behind the top clubs we are…

I like the way you make those numbers up out of whole cloth then use them as evidence for what you already believe.

Yeah fair enough, I just can't see how they would figure it makes sense to have the guy contracted on unders and pay him not to play for them.

 

[Viking Warrior]

I really hope we can snag him the club needs someone to get the fans through the gate and this ticks all the boxes

The Chooks have come out and said they MAY be willing to cover some of his contract if he was to find another club. This was said way back when this saga first broke.

 

[WT2K]

Haven't heard it but apparently Andrew Webster on Big Sports Breakfast said he believes LM will be with WT
