Latrell Mitchell Contract Discussion

[TillLindemann]

Would be quite the scene if JAC and TREL were announced at a press conference in the coming fortnight. Wowsers.

Can you imagine those 2 guys in our backline?...we'd be seriously dangerous!

Pascoe said we had 4 spots left.

From all reports, we had $1.7 million, $400k of which has gone to Luciano. That leaves $1.3 Million.

Can we really afford both for 2020 and fill another 2 spots?

Maybe if the other 2 spots are Musgrove and Brad Abbey - both would be on bugger all.

I think Musgrove initially signed for $300k...I guess we'll find out when/if it's announced.

He'd be on a new 'naughty boy with no other options' contract this time

You may or may not remember that I was highly critical of good ol’ Smoking Gun a while ago. I thought he was full of self importance, knew nothing and was just having a colossal wink (auto corrected this myself😀)
Well the ‘mini me’ version is now in full swing. My opinion hasn’t changed. If I’m wrong I’ll apologise fully but until then I’d take all he says with a grain of salt.

I was hoping for a difinitive answer after the q&a in reguards to Mitchell.

After hearing pasco speak to me his comments sounded as if Mitchell was no hope of coming. Although i was dissapointed i was kind of relieved also that in my mind the Latrell saga for the Tigers was over.

Now scrolling through the comments on the forum you all make a lot of sense. Why wouldnt Pasco play it cool and lie to keep a lid on things. Now im back to being hopeful we can sign him but unsure if we will, waiting for an announcement from Mitchell as to where he will sign.

Damn you wests tigers forum and you extremely intelligent and articulate members. Im back to where i was before the q&a.

I feel like Pascoe was looking into my soul when answering the Latrell question.

Surprised nobody has asked... How was his body language when answering the questions about LM

 

[Muffstar]

Didn't the Chairman indicate that they would sign Mitchell a week or two ago ? His comment seemed pretty strong at the time, but nothing since from anyone really.

Cool calm and collected

 

[Tweed_Tiger]

Unfortunately looks to be highly unlikely if Pascoes comments are true.

You just said JAC was the signing for this week?

I thought both were done..?

Like weeks ago

Reports saying for Souffs to get Mitchell they have to Off load Gagai Johnson and others Gagai on 2 years 700K they would pay part of the contract.Now if we let LM slide by and pick up Gagai for two years with Souffs paying part of the freight which we could make quiet attractive to us could be a good cheap pick up pick up

Or we don’t help Souths sign Latrell and sign him ourselves.....

Maybe I’m just really used to mediocrity,but gagai at fullback doesn’t seem so bad 🤷🏽‍♀️

They're looking to get rid of Gagai for a reason. He's no good.

 

[Harvey]

They did seem to weirdly hint that the signing later this week would have "speed and scoring power" :thinking_face:

Although Musgrove seems most likely.

Notice how Pascoe said we haven't talked to **Latrell** , nothing about his management. Could be some clever wording.

For God's sake let's stop reading into things not said. Pascoe is not a politician adept at such speak.

Mitchell is going to souths. How he gets there is their problem but we should not even think about signing any south's cast offs until they quietly show us contract with Mitchell's signature on it. Don't help them get his signature but take advantage if necessary after the event.

Maybe if he plays with a Maroons jersey underneath.....only time the guy plays....

Time will tell. Which ever way it is, I just hope in the next week. Cheers.

Gagai would be a disaster.I would rather we saved the money and front loaded a few contracts and i dont care how much souffs would pay for us to take him off their hands
