Latrell Mitchell Contract Discussion

[Madge]

Can anybody with a subscription to daily telegraph get the story about us saying we don't want Latrell?
Paywall sucks.

It’s probably just an article about Pascoe saying “we have made no contact with Latrell”, but yes would be great if someone could post it. Thanks I’m advance.

It doesn’t say anything it’s Pascoe at the Q&A. Adds Zero insight

Imagine thinking gagai in the centre’s would be worse than Momorovski or mbye. IMAGINE.

But surely if we are getting LM and JAC we won't be getting Gagai?


Zero chance he’s gonna be a tiger and almost as certain he won’t be anywhere else other than Souths

So you are super confident by previous posts of yours that within a fortnight LM and JAC will be tigers?

Paywall is evil. I'd die before I'd give them a dollar.

Latrell Mitchell’s NRL options for next season have narrowed once again after the Wests Tigers distanced themselves from the Sydney Roosters star.

CEO Justin Pascoe has revealed having no contact with Mitchell or his manager since withdrawing a rich contract offer for the Kangaroos centre last month.

It was believed the club had left the door ajar to reopen negotiations with Mitchell, but Pascoe has denied there is another offer on the table, despite being in the market for a strike player.

“There’s still speculation that he’s around and we’re interested,” Pascoe said on Wednesday.

“We’re trying to build a culture around this club as a destination club where players and staff can be really proud to be here and want to be here.

“We’ve had no further conversation; we have no offer on the table at this point.” The Tigers’ withdrawal from the chaos comes after Mitchell was linked to Roosters’ arch rivals South Sydney as a possible destination in 2020.

The Rabbitohs are expected to announce the retention of State of Origin half Cody Walker, while they are still chasing Gold Coast forward Jai Arrow who is torn between loyalty and a move to Sydney.

Salary cap space at the Redfern club will be limited should Arrow be lured south for 2020, however the Titans would need to release him from the final year of his contract.

Titans are the only other NRL club who have publicly declared their interest in the embattled centre.

Meanwhile, the Tigers have filled just 26 places on their NRL roster and are active in the market for 2020.

Pascoe hinted the club would make another signing announcement at the end of this week.

“We’re very targeted with who we’re actually trying to chase,” he said.

“It’s going to take time but we want players who want to be here.

“We’re looking for probably a bit of speed and some more scoring power.”

Standard made up Telegraph garbage masquerading as journalism

Atrocious. These guys actually get paid.

Edit: aided by my dollar a week

 

[new smoking gun]

Literally says “at this point” haha.

It's atrocious. Not one article references the fact it was a fan Q&A, and Pascoe was simply stating they hadn't contacted Latrell, didn't say anything about withdrawing from the race.

And then you wonder why clubs don't want to talk to the media. Pascoe was pretty straight in what he said (and didn't say) and they run off with it anyway.

If all you need to be is a spin merchant who makes stuff up after reading forums or watching Q&As, then what is the point of having specialist media, we can all just open twitter accounts and post crap.

Couldn't agree with you any more!

 

[the_third]

We will see the same article under different headlines for the next week or so haha

 

[OzLuke]

the next headline will be that he wanted to sign for us but we pushed him away.....

 

[new smoking gun]

Quote Says “at this point” (lies) offer is still there and they want it, but still somehow have drawn the LONG bow of ignoring the fact that he said “at this point” Meaning that they aren’t closed off to signing him as they said tigers are. I can’t wait for January or maybe Monday.

But your always wanting to read what they have to say ! How’s that first dollar you earnt ?😂
