Latrell Mitchell Contract Discussion

[wokesmoke]

Mitchell strikes me as a player who'll retire by 30.

He doesn't enjoy the hard work associated with playing at the highest level. Training seems to be a real drag. Pushing himself to be the best he can doesn't appeal as much as fishing or hanging with his mates. He plays because he can play well and make money doing so but i think he's mostly about getting the money to set himself up for his life of fishing to come in retirement.

Be stunned if he sees out his next contract.

I liased with mr Pascoe this morning. There’s some concerns on tigers end regarding latrell. Want those cleared up before re-tabling the offer. That’s what the meeting is about this week.

You are not suggesting professional from our club? You will spoil some of the narrative on this thread.

They are Just unsure of his true intentions, lots of miscommunication over the agent stuff. Should be cleared up this week

That would be Len Pascoe?

From what I can gather (and have had to read between several lines) theres 2 deals on Offer Should the meeting proceed well a 4 year deal worth a tick under 4mil and a 1+1 (Club option) deal for approx 2.2mil.

Especially Because he has a young family To look after aswell tigers are the only logical explanation


But he doesn’t care.

He wants to play in the best team he can with players that can make him look good. He wants to play finals, origin etc and he is willing to cop a year of lower pay. He is more than aware he will get the big bucks in future years.

If that were true he would have stayed at roosters?

Not really the case as it was the roosters who pulled the plug on him. He wanted money and a good club obviously, and was apparently in tears when they said no to him. All he wanted to do was explore the market to increase his value and it backfired.

In the situation he’s in , it’s big bucks For a weak club or play for a good club for significantly less (which will lead to big bucks in a year you’d think). And out of those two options He wants Souths.

The guy didn’t even turn up for meetings with us. Let’s not kid ourselves.

The guy did not turn up for a meeting organised by the manager he was trying to get rid of. If he turned up to that meeting and subsequently signed with the Tigers, he has to pay the guy the guy he is trying to get rid of a minimum $60k.

In a scenario where nothing makes sense, look for the path of least resistance. I’m surprised more can’t see what is going on

The new manager will have to investigate all possible options for Latrell before anything is officiated and with a massive difference in offers it would not be unacceptable for him not meet with WTs.

Double negatives make me giddy in the head...🤪

Gathered enough crap last time, back for more gunny?

A few people are running with similar terms being offered, I would suggest this is accurate.

Have been speaking with my Roosters contact for a while about LM.

If LM does end up here and not at Souths we will have the Roosters to thank.
They will let LM come here. Straight release. No compensation nothing.
For LM that would mean the 150K or so he has already been paid by the Roosters plus the $850,000 we are apparently offering.

For Souths. They will be asking Souths to pay the almost 150K back to them. that is roughly what the Roosters have already paid LM.
This would count under Souths Cap from what i am told.

I've popped in there before and I can tell you if he doesnt sign with Souths there will be unprecedented wailing and teeth gnashing. Be fun to watch.

All tiger fans should have a steady flood of “dam we thought we had him” messages

You have to have more than one stray tooth before you can grind them! That is non existent at Souths!

These stereotypes don't help anyone.

I heard of a souffs fan with 2 and a half teeth.

There's a difference....most of us have accepted he probably won't come here. They are certain they've got him! A much bigger fall.
