Latrell Mitchell Contract Discussion

[Goanna57]

It appears Madge has not turned out to be our saviour , Bennett and him signed at the same time look what we have got compared to what the bunnies have signed. Maybe Madge is on the nose.

Madge has not been the coach for 20 years,maybe just maybe it’s the club and the way it was run in the past

Few thing in that report seem off. 1 being roosters agreeing to forfeit the 120k, doesn’t seem likely as that helps Souths sign him. 2) Souths seemingly paying an agent dispute on his behalf while contracted to another club. Anyway he wants to play for less money that’s on him, not a slight on Pascoe or the club. They put forward money well above his worth.

Who cares about this on field stuff. Anyone know when next quarters financials come out?

Had we have signed old man Bennett maybe we would of had Arrow & Mitchell.
I get the feeling people don’t like Madge, he comes across as being hard and not a people’s person. Just my opinion!

How is it not on the club when you can offer massive overs for a player and still not seal the deal? If we were attractive club we wouldn't be sitting here with in excess of $1M and be unable to sign any quality players!

Won’t see the best of madge until reynolds packer and Mbye are all off the books. Some real hinderance for him there. He has that little faith in reynolds he brought Old man Benji back.

You can't blame this on Madge. The bunnies are obviously a stronger and more appealing club to him. NRL players want to win premierships and we haven't come close in the last 10 years. Our rep won't change overnight or with 1 respectable coach. Making the 8 this year and every year on is imperative for us to be considered appealing and even then you won't always land who you want.

Couldn’t agree more with you,although some on this forum believe not making finals for 8 straight years has no bearing on recruiting top quality players

You are so right

Madge needs more than 12 to 15 months

If we give him the time he will fix it

Might 3 4 or 5 years but if we can't sign a big name in the next 12 months I still believe Madge will get a lot more out of the young NRL players we have now plus bring along the youngsters we have coming through

Correct. Although this won't please some on here, i must admit i'm starting to question Pascoes ability to get things done. ( i.e selling the club and direction it is heading in) Sometimes i feel like he is learning on the run. We need a kill shortly with all this money.

It is a very embarrassing situation we find ourselves in, all this money to spend and unable to sign to players!

We only missed one. Arrow apparently was never a consideration, particularly with the depth we have in the pack. Word from Concord is Seyfarth is going gangbusters and the big unit from Parra is only days away from turning up for us. Add those two to Twal, Aloiai, Leilua, Mikaele, Garner and Musgrove and that's a hell of a group of under 25's.
Just need a hooker!

This will be a massive bullet dodged for tigers long term. I get the headline of signing a guy like latrell would make you feel etc but let’s be honest he couldn’t even boot Michael Gordon out of the fullback spot After RTS left and before roosters got tedesco. Haven’t seen anything since then to say he would be elite at fullback. It’s all an assumption. Roosters figured he was never gonna be their long term fullback and didn’t want the noise with him as a centre.

No of course not. But I think in future Pascoe should get in our CFO and external accountants to meet with any potential recruits. They can put together a little powerpoint presentation outlining our financial health and year on year projections. If Latrell was aware of our working capital situation and EBITDA forecast for the FY20 financial year I feel he would have signed.

I don't disagree with this comment. Can't forget Madge inherited some overpaid contracts that definitely don't fit in with his plans.

Like your opinion and agree with you but I do believe we need that one big name to sign

Benji was off contract after 2019. No obligation to bring him back.

I like the forward pack he’s trying to assemble, still think tigers are one high level prop or back tower away from having a really high level pack.

Outside backs the big issue. Anyone thinking AJ wouldn’t be an upgrade are out of their mind

What a load of crap ...lmao
Power point presentation lol
Most NRL players couldn’t even tie there own shoes never mind sitting through some garbage PowerPoint presentation lol

Mitchell didn’t come here cause we’re an perennial basket case and the coach is too much of a hard arse !

I reckon he's right that we dodged a bullet.
