BREAKING NEWS

The Latrell Mitchell drama is set to be finished in the upcoming week, the reports coming out Latrell will be at the Rabbitohs 100% by Monday are all false.

I cannot stress this enough!

Latrell has not signed with anyone at this point!

He has switched managers, his old manager being a core reason the Wests Tigers pulled their offer to begin with which is worrying for Latrell.

Latrell’s new manager Matt Rose, will meet with both Rabbitohs and the Wests Tigers all within this week in order to start fresh contract negotiations.

As I’ve reported in the past, Rabbitohs can not put forward a legitimate deal towards Latrell unless they offload Johnston and Gagai (new post upcoming about Johnston later today) this seems very unlikely to occur at this moment of time.

400k is the reported figure they can offer, while the Wests Tigers offer is around the 1mil mark.... even if Latrell does choose the Rabbitohs another hurdle or potential setback will be on whether the NRL register his contract as they may deem the offer to be significantly under the market value.

I’m being told the Wests Tigers are about to step up their pursuit on Latrell and go in hard!

Latrell does have an interest in joining the Tigers that’s for sure, hence why I reported that it was a 99% chance of happening as I didn’t think Latrell would have even considered a deal of 400k with South Sydney - whether or not he will accept this deal no one knows!

I’m not too sure on Latrell’s interest levels on joining Souths are, I’m assuming quite high as it seems he is seriously considering this reduced 1 year deal.

Personally, I think he will be at the Wests Tigers due to the money being too good to refuse.

With fresh contract negotiations starting over with a new manager, this could be a blessing in disguise for the Wests Tigers as Latrell at one point had verbally agreed to a deal roughly a month ago but was blocked off by his former manager Wayde Rushton.

Regardless of the media dictating where Latrell will be the reality is Latrell himself doesn’t even know!

Option a) 400k 1 year deal with South Sydney
Option b) 3.8 mil 4 year deal with Wests Tigers

Over the next week, Latrell will ultimately decide his destination and it’s fair to say the Rugby League world is awaiting!

Our guys are busting their guts at training, I suppose this Prima Donna is kicking back then will waltz in when he’s ready to pick up a pen - make sure our offer is performance based.

Hi guys, woke here. Just wanted to say I have a good feeling about latrell making a decision this week. I think his future will be decided officially by late next week. If you’re a fan of his I think you will be happy

Are you related to smoking gun or smoking gun 2?

Good afternoon tony, I’m unsure of who that is so my answer would have to be no. I hope you have had a nice day today sir

You sound like the lovechild of @smoking_gun and @MAGPIES1963?

Have a lovely day.

edit: just read covitny said the same thing.

From the Souths Forum

The Tigers CEO Justin Pascoe is re-entering the race for his signature and has dropped off signing AJ so not to assist Souths in clearing more cap space to sign Mitchell.

That is interesting news I must say.

Sure is nug, I mean woke.

I don’t know what that is supposed to mean sir, but what ever nug is, I am not. I hope you’re having a nice Wednesday sir.

My God ..... Willow sent him to have an American Lobotomy!
Sensational Result man.
Please send Snake there next!

Hmmmm perhaps he is still listening to the fan base ?

Which poster on here is Pascoe ?

The club doesn't nessasarily write , but they certainly read .

And what happens when they stumble across something of substance?

I pray he doesnt come.... or if he does we screw him down on price.

900k is for players who can turn a game regularly, this bloke doesnt even turn up to captains runs consistantly. Gun players dont come here because they dont think they are the final cog in the machine to make us contenders. Mitchell isnt the final cog to make us a success.

Latrell plays for us last year we make the 8. No question

Respect your opinion, what do you think is the final cog? I think it's a 9 a 1 and an outside back

limping into the 8 isnt enough.

Latrell plays well, what, 3 games a year in clubland... need to be lucky he plays well in the games we need him to. More chance of him looking good in a blow out, than turning a skinny loss.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

The mild panic that is infecting the Souths supporters like a good dose of myxomatosis is amusing. Here is the latest offering from a luminary on their forum with emphasis on the highlight -

Wests Tigers fans on forums seem to think they’re still a fair chance to sign Latrell even though the media is reporting otherwise. **Tigers coming hard with a last ditch effort apparently**, surely not he has to be coming to us surely after how this has all played out!

Missing the 8 isnt enough either.
If he was here last year we make the 8 and look a lot more enticing destination to other players for this year. I also disagree that he plays well in only 3 games a year.

sounds silly but a real damaging second rower is a piece we need more than a back. Matterson hurt us. Frizell, Cordner, Taumalolo et. al. add both extra starch to the pack, yet also unlock the backs when running numbers. I think Brooks can read the numbers, just we lack the venom to sell the cut outs so we dont profit from indecisiveness. Matterson out wide was more dangerous than when he was in the middle.

Mitchell benefitted from having Keary inside him and then Cordner. Defensive lines dont slide hard when Cordner is an option, though any defender in the league would hedge their bets on stopping Lawrence one on
one for example. Mitchell would become our new Teddy pass when nothing is going on. If Mitchell was a fullback with all his skills, of which he has a fair toolkit, he wouldnt have lost the job long before Tedesco rocked up.

I think there were 3 or 4 games he could have turned our way if he wanted to. He is the second fastest player in the NRL, so he would attract a lot of interest from opposition defence.

Maybe gene splicing as there is a shade of BBF there as well

Exactly and 4 games makes us top 4

I think you’ll find Big Luci will fill that role nicely, big body with some ball playing ability!!

watch this.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pbdJMht3rs
take out Tigers, we made him look good, then take out the bottom teams... then when you watch the rest he is unlocked by Tedesco or defenders making bad decision on his inside men the vast majority of the time. who unlocks him with the big decoy run... who is our Keary popping him short...

watch closely. You will realise we dont have the players to unleash him. We will feed him into road blocks. Did it to Tedesco as well.

Im a fan of his.... but what are we going to do for the other 72 mins of the game

To start with, but he would attract talent to the club. He would be a great way to start turning the team into something.
