Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Geo]

I'm still not sure why the thread was closed??

Getting off-topic and nasty, but particularly the nasty part I think. Whenever you see a run of deleted posts, you are a high chance of bannings or threads being locked.

Yeah but the point was when the picture was displayed of the boys at Fingal was nothing was happening as Buzz mentioned early this week ...yeah OK we started talking about the fish and Latrell's porch ..but there was a point to it all

Many were hoping because of Buzz's comments (and smoking guns comments ) it would be done by Tuesday

No way it was going to be done by Tuesday and now you throw in Dave Trodden's comments Latrell won't be coming anywhere near Sydney anytime soon

I usually agree with you @willow .....not on this one

And that's all fair enough as I realise the 'ministrators have a very difficult job in keeping things going on an even keel for all.

Don't get me wrong...I recognise the 'ministrators do an excellent job :+1: .

But in this particular thread for example, we got off-topic, @Spartan117 mentioned it and @Red88_Tiger got us back on track again.
In the very next post @Geo goes off-topic again.

Why wasn't Geo's post deleted :question:

I believe I have had less blatant posts deleted.

My post to start a fishing thread was to get the thread back on topic is why...it was the same when it meandered of about club draws and which Clubs get favourable treatment..

There is nothing new or concrete in regards to Letrell Mitchelll and that's what happens when there is it will be posted...

It was ignored...and page after page ended up in days of our lives so willow closed it for the time being..


Wait, why was the LM thread closed??? Cause there was nothing concrete?? Jesus. Didn’t @willow post claims in that thread too? Knew someones uncle who knew something something??Now staying on topic can get something closed? Common guys, were all big boys here and this is crazy. It’s possibly the biggest signing of the clubs history, what do you expect.

If there was no swearing etc.. Why close it?

What would you like to post in it...?

If he signs it will be re-opened..

Not so much what I want to post but I use the thread to filter the media articles, social meadia posts, insights from other forums etc.... Lots of decent insight and good posts through out the thread. I’m not so precious that a comment that maybe not aligned directly with LM will hurt me enough to stay out of the discussion.

But anyways, I don’t control the content, that’s you fellas and I don’t want to take the signing suggestion thread off topic.

Have you ever watched on YouTube mysterious drone videos and unexplained drone videos there is one with the orange guy in the wheat field I was hoping for something like that

 

[avocadoontoast]

Imo Ponga on his day is the best player in the NRL and it’s not even close

Teddy and Tom T are both a long way ahead of him imo

 

[Goldust]

Ponga to me is a poor mans benji in his prime
Still a great player but once he is marked he runs out of ideas pretty quick

 

[fibrodreaming]

I generally only watch the WT, so my only knowledge of a player's ability is how he performs against us.

The last time is watched Ponga play was at the back end of last season - WT v Knights. We won 46 - 4 and Ponga was a pathetic. I would expect more pride in one's performance than we saw that night.

He doesn't lack talent, but he certainly lacks maturity.

I think part of the reason it was closed was all the droning comments.

There is a story on the chookpen from daily telegraph

Sorry I don't know how to post it

Bit LM has apparently had his meeting with Nick and Robbo where it was confirmed to him that they have no room for him in cap beyond 2020

He could also get an immediate release to the tigers or can play out his final year at roosters

Latrell Mitchell’s tears as Roosters confirm withdrawal of contract

There is no way back to Bondi now. After an emotional meeting with Sydney Roosters hierarchy, Latrell Mitchell knows he has no future with the back-to-back NRL premiers.




Dean Ritchie & Phil Rothfield, The Daily Telegraph



Latrell Mitchell wept during an emotional meeting with Sydney Roosters coach Trent Robinson after the two-time premiership winner was formally told his long-term future at Bondi was over.



It comes as The Daily Telegraph can reveal Mitchell:

* Met Roosters chairman Nick Politis face-to-face on Tuesday for the first time since the club withdrew its $800,000 a year contract offer;

* Returned to Roosters headquarters inside Paddington’s Entertainment Quarter on Monday to start off-season testing;

* Was told the Roosters did not have salary cap room to retain him after 2020

* May still play at Concord next season after Roosters powerbrokers made it clear to Wests Tigers officials they would grant the him an early release;

* Could remain at the Roosters next year if he is unable to secure another deal;

* Would be required to return to Roosters training in early January – possibly the 6th — if still contracted to the club.

Mitchell and Politis met over coffee at an eastern suburbs cafe.

The Daily Telegraph understands Mitchell was told there wasn’t money for him to be re-signed when his current deal at the club expires after next season.

A day earlier, Mitchell quietly returned to Sydney Roosters headquarters to complete fitness testing and a medical, which is part of the NRL’s off-season Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Mitchell spoke with Robinson, with onlookers saying the reunion was “teary and emotional” when Mitchell realised his time at Bondi was coming to a close.

Mitchell spoke of his disappointment that he wouldn’t get to play 100 games for the Roosters. He is stuck on 97.

Sources close to the negotiations say the Roosters have indicated they would release Mitchell to Wests Tigers immediately.

If unable to nail down a new club, the Roosters have a contractual obligation to keep Mitchell for next season.

Some at the club believe Mitchell’s return would be a “major distraction” while others say he would slot back in comfortably.

The Tigers will offer Mitchell two key enticements — a $1 million annual contract and the chance to play fullback.

The Tigers have withdrawn their offer but remain interested in signing Mitchell provided the players indicates a desire to play under coach Michael Maguire at Concord.

Mitchell’s return to the Roosters was also a club requirement given he is still under contact at Bondi for next season.

While the Roosters have re-signed props Jared Waerea-Hargreaves and Siosiua Taukeiaho, the club would still need to find $500,000 for Mitchell in 2020 should he stay.

Gold Coast also remain interested in signing Mitchell.

Mitchell was given an extended break after representing the Kangaroos in Oceania Cup Tests against New Zealand and Tonga in October and November.
