Latrell Mitchell Contract Discussion

[Tim Sheens]

Know nothing about him, but get the feeling that this Rose guy is some similar indigenous form of the footy whisperer that had our group of juniors under his spell.

This is the feeling you get isn't it. There is something off about it. They don't come across as recognizing that it's professional sport.

If we did offer that contract and he didn't sign the guy clearly doesn't appear to understand the situation that he is in. It's bizarre.

Well who would have thought Bennett would backflip .... He is just and out and out liar.

I don't feel sorry for LM at all - this has basically been a well orchestrated plan to enable him to sign with Souffs all along.

Hopefully, he will be well researched by each team before their games (be tackled around the legs - pointless going high) and that he will have a massive form slump over the next 10 years.

agree....the scrutiny that this guy will be under will be enormous......the pressure alone I reckon will twist his head

Couldn't of said it better if I tried

Maybe but do you realize how stupid this sounds. He is being paid supposedly $150k less per season than what he was offered to stay at the Rorters and at least a million dollars less than what we were offering over 3 or 4 years.

Are people really that stupid or is there something else going on ?

It sounds like Latrell is in a cult or something rather than playing a professional sport.

Remember when we all thought he was coming here and he was fighting fires. Greatest guy in the world.

Now, looks like going to Souths and he’s a low life.

The psychology of sports fans is fascinating.

I was one that defended his actions at the time, and for me personally if he came back from that and said he was going to souths/eels whoever straight off the bat rather than drag this stuff out over the course of however long it's been I would've copped that sweet.

I think his actions after the fact have been less than stellar, and that's what people have the issue with

It may sound silly, if you think the Gladiator hasn't got any paper bags.

Is it possible that Latrell has joined a religious cult? If so, hopefully it’s not one of those religions which prohibit playing on Sundays. I don’t want to see this possible future immortal miss any game time.

I’m not calling you a liar, because you’ve probably convinced yourself of that fact. But the mental gymnastics supporters do in these situations is incredible. I know, cos I’m speaking from experience. I thought the world of Tedesco, now i wouldn’t spit on him. The hold that a supporters connection to a club has over them does loony things, and will force them into the most outrageous contradictions.

Really ..... haven’t read too many posts on here saying he is a low life. However it’s pretty clear that there are some serious issues attached to this player and his entourage. Whoever signs him will burn significant cap $s and then be faced with a difficult job of managing his tantrums. And when you focus on babysitting just one “Special” player the team stability just goes out of the window.

It’s gorgeous George rose’s brother or maybe cousin. (There’s lots of the family in Bathurst)... he was a bit of a boxer growing up in his youth. It’s hard to believe he stumbled into being a major sports manager They are a nice and quite genuine family.

Well played, probably deserves a sticky.

"Now it looks as though Bennett has softened his stance and wants to consider signing Mitchell to a one-year deal on a reduced contact."
Odd.

Bennett is a has been !

There’s an element of possibility and also a degree of probability in your statement. I’d like to think his frustrating behaviour last year was just due to his inability to come to terms with Teddy locking down the fullback spot and having to leave roosters? There’s been chatter about Mitchell linking with Rabbitohs for ages .

 

[Tweed_Tiger]

Bulldogs spent a fair amount of the season linked to Latrell. It got the reporters that delirious there were reports of 10 year contracts.

 

[Newtown]

You do want him, **we all do**

Speak for yourself. You don't speak for me.

Sorry, I figured everyone would want the NRL’s leading point scorer and one of the best players in the game in our team. I was incorrect, apologies.


Im with you on this one. As close as possible to a sure fire thing. Shame he wasnt into it.

I'm certain every fan at every club would have been saying the same thing about Jaryd Hayne at one time or another. Ask Parra how they feel in hindsight hanging on to that imbecile for so long.

What about Titans who paid big dollars to take him from Parra?

Matt is George’s brother, I’ve known their mother for years, and their father was a very good footballer and a champion guy.

He didn't join the WT's ...so what ....probably makes him sane
