If we can’t get Mitchell, I wouldn’t really want Valentine Holmes as a second choice.

Rather throw the money at two of these three: Frizell, JWH, JAC.

But I do really want Mitchell

If he goes to the cowboys, well, at least we have the consolation that the Roosters lost him.

@TJ21 Definitely handy, but I wouldn’t say dominant over other club’s packs in the way that Smith, Cronk and Slater were dominant over other club’s spines.

@happy_tiger

Melbourne Storm showed the value of a good spine. Yes they have had good forwards too, but it was Slater, Cronk and Smith that made them such a dominant club for so long.

@tiger05premier

How can they afford him even without Holmes?Given what they’re paying Taumololo. That would be a lot of money wrapped up in two players.

He is meeting the the Cows and JT , the JT factor could be very influential in his decision.
Altho they both come from an indigenous back ground which would mean a lot to Mitchel it would also take him a very long way away from his roots at Taree which I believe would be a negative for his family life.

the Tigers play would be to take our country game to Taree and have a week up there leading up to it.

I think we are locked in to Tamworth aren’t we? And I doubt Taree has an NRL standard stadium, it’s not that big a place.

If LM is as keen on frequently visiting his mob in Taree as he seems to be, Townsville would have to be one of his worst options. And I can’t imagine the Cowboys having the money to trump our offer. So if the money and the family/home town are both in our favour, I don’t believe he’s going to the Cowboys.

For an extremely bad joke
