It really does highlight how much these journo's just make stuff up, dont forget last week they were saying we were signing him for $5.2m over 4 years
. I’m expecting 1 mil x 3 ...Mitchell is prob Just like any other hot headed youngster or anyone for that matter ...he just wants a bit of respect and to feel the love despite being a bit willfull as young people can be ...He fell out with Easts so something was said that was irreversible.....I thought it was a bit precious of Easts to retract his $800 k offer just coz he said he’d look around. My take is that Robinson is a softy who can’t take Mitchell’s stubborn personality ..as is usual with youth they just want someone who’s a match for them that they can respect..Well he’s found that person in Madge
King of the speculators is throwing out some more burly.
This. Greenberger will give his old dogs full salary cap relief for Foran, even though they signed him with these pre-existing injuries and put him together with Clag glue just to get him on the field.
Here you go.
CheersHere you go.
Latrell Mitchell: Star would need to change body to play fullback at Wests Tigers - Daley

Roosters superstar back Latrell Mitchell appears set for a big-money move, with Wests Tigers reportedly in the box seat, though the switch is likely to come with a positional change.
Having played in the centres for the majority of his stunning ascent into one of the game's most exciting players, the 22-year-old is expected to switch to fullback if he does head to Concord.
The lucrative nature of the potential deal means the Tigers will be keen to get Mitchell involved in the game for longer periods than he is used to.
Speaking on Big Sports Breakfast, Laurie Daley says that Mitchell will have to adapt to the demands of the number one jumper.
"Playing fullback, he'll have to change his body shape," the Raiders legend said.
"He'll have to become a lot fitter because aerobically he'll have to cover a lot more ground than what he's ever done in the past as a centre.
"As a fullback you've got to be in the game for the full 80 minutes.
"If mentally Latrell Mitchell is in the right headspace and physically he's in the right shape, he can be the most damaging player in the game."
Though the reigning Dally M Centre of the Year is still no certainty to play for the Tigers next season, with journalist Dean Ritchie saying the player is yet to meet with notoriously hard-nosed coach Michael Maguire.
"I still think he'll go to the Tigers," Ritchie said.
"They're adamant they won't pay overs for Latrell.
"There was a suggestion that they might pay $1.2 million and there's no way that they will pay that.
"I think they'll go with a back-ended deal that might start at about $800,000.
"From what I understand, they'll sit down with Latrell and make sure that he's on the same page as Michael Maguire."
Mitchell has racked up 96 first-grade games for the Roosters, crossing for 65 tries and playing a key role in the club's back-to-back premierships.
Don't know much about him, but a whole season is a long time.
Maybe his replacement?
