Latrell Mitchell Contract Discussion

[earl]

This whole latrell thing doesn’t make sense obviously. Everyone is talking about him going to Souffs on 600 less than we offered.

You know what would make sense? Latrell has falling out with his manager who has organised Tigers deal. Wants to take the big Tigers money but that would mean old manager gets the 6%. Makes sense to wait, get out of old manager deal, get new manager to renegotiate then take the big $ at Tigers.

I have no inside knowledge and I’m probably wrong but this is one of the few scenarios that makes sense. Probably wishful thinking.

I'm not stating he is coming to the Tigers but this is a plausible explanation. At least it makes sense.

Mitchell appears to have let the rabbit out of the hat prematurely with his post try celebration of the rabbit ears.

So many people are saying this. It’s kangaroo ears, not bunny ears

Yep have seen multiple players take photos with Kangaroos and tag Latrell.

It would only make sense if the contract was signed by Mitchell and had a value of $2.5m. Or the PA ‘s commission was say 5%?

Seriously .. do people really think that Latrell will only get $400K .. IF .. he signs with Souffs .. Souffs have stolen/copied the Rorters model/book on .. "how to pay your players without the NRL world realising what we have done" .. !! This $400K crap is there only to keep the idiots who believe this crap appeased .. !!

What's more concerning is if he NRL believes it is acceptable because then it becomes deliberate salary cap rorting with their approval.

Considering we copped a hiding over Farah when there was no cap incentive to us to have him return as an ambassador (if anything it went the other way given how much we paid for him to play at Souths,) if the NRL do not see this as anything other than a way to circumvent back-ending a long term contract their cap auditor should stand down.

All NRL fans (with exception of souths and roosters) can clearly see this. However no matter how much anger and revulsion these fans have they cannot do anything about it. Unfortunately NRL fans have no power to correct this anomaly. All power is with the NRL It is very frustrating. situation for fans.

Then the only move - is to kidnap Lewis on his way to Melbourne. What a player!

That was on the South's forum makes you wonder if thats where the story derives from.

A completely unsubstantiated rumour from someone on Zero Tackle I know nothing about, but interesting reading if nothing else:

I hear the roosters have offered Bronson Xerri a new apartment at 30% below market value in negotiations to poach him from the Sharks.
I hear Latrell will be at Souths training next Monday with Johnston sadly off to the Tigers
I hear the Bulldogs have offered The Fox big money to divert him away from Souths
I hear The roosters will have 2 premierships stripped from them plus massive fines and cap restrictions by mid 2020 if investigations are proven correct. Big media release before season commencement.

I hope that he has good hearing.

 

[Demps]

Bloke on twitter who said Latrell was coming to WT a couple of weeks ago saying Pascoe had a three way with LM and JAC last night (I assume he means a phone call, not the other thing).

Lolllllll gross

I could live with all that if roosters get stripped of their premierships

Haha me too. I'd take another 5 seasons without finals if the Chooks got stripped of the last two years.

Would be amazing news

But Nick probably too smart for them if indeed the rumor has some legs

Tedesco would be forever in the foetal position

That would be the karma bus I have been waiting to hit Bondi for years, I would literally crap my daks with excitement if those cheating chooks got caught doing what everyone knows they are doing

 

[HabboTiger]

It’s back on. Nothing would please me more than to get both from Souths.
