Latrell Mitchell

[Forbes Creek Dragons]

While we waste another season talking about next season, this problem could have been solved at the end of the 2017 season. We need a bigger effort and more skill when recruiting key players. Rather than waiting for next season, we should have been telling the likes of Aitken and Lafai that they are no longer needed in first grade and will be initially selected in reserve grade for 2020. Follow that with the words that you have permission to look elsewhere but we will not be subsidising any deal.

They probably have said similar stuff that and both have probably said they will fight for their position. If Lomax is wasted again on the wing or god forbid the bench then for his own sake I hope he does leave.

No thanks.. not worth the money his asking..

re: Anthony Mundine part of Latrell deal to dogs !
Well that screws that deal !

 

[Dennis Papaioannou]

Probably no one this year. If available maybe Curtis Scott, or Ramien. We would be mad to not have a crack at Wighton for 2021 though. David Fifita likes the Gong, he’s worth a crack and if JDB doesn’t make it through I’d throw the kitchen sink at him with Graham and JDB’s coin.

Tarangi and Brad Parker are also not yet signed.
Really like Parker - would be a great centre solution for us.
Agree that Fifita for Graham/JDB would be a masterstroke if they could pull it off.

Latrell Mitchell a Tiger? Surprise suitor emerges to possibly end Sydney Roosters stand-off

I don’t rate him he isn’t as good as what he thinks he is. Worth around 400k at best.

 

[jeffdragon]

Arrogant .
Good on chooks, it's not like they need him.

 

[SAP58]

He is heading towards a very good club player but cant take the next step, he is listening to too many people at the moment eg Mundine shopping himself around and asking for overs based on his current form just like Mundine is doing with his son.

Mitchell is a bully with ability. He takes cheap shots and is a wonderful front runner but as the game against Tonga showed, he can be rattled and mistakes come. He has always been a little weak in his defensive reads but there is no doubting his ability, or ego. He might grow up but the fact the Roosters are prepared to call his bluff and let him shop himself shows how difficult he is becoming. In saying that old Nick won’t let him go in my opinion.

 

[Walpole]

No doubt if the Roosters are willing to let Mitchell go they've got another big name in their sights.

Wighton to the Roosters?

 

[Dragon Revival]

I think that Manu is the better centre. Mitchell runs hot and cold and rarely applies himself
100% as he is too concerned about not singing the National Anthem or hurting himself. He is a little boy in a man's body.

100% agree with this.
He's not a $1m player based on last season. The fact they supposedly withdrew his $800k offer says to me, you need to have a big 2020 and then we'll revisit it.

You shouldn’t do that..

Makes you look like a weirdo..

Agree..

 

[Slippery Morris]

Manu > Mitchell. I would take Manu over Mitchell any time of the week as he is just as good and more importantly consistently.

Any chance Saints can swap Lafai AND Aitken for Mitchell? How good would that be?

Maybe we could do a deal to sign Mitchell for 2021 giving the Roosters the option to take him off there hands for 2020 with an Aitken/Graham trade.

It's no good just standing still and hoping for the best. Flanagan may just be able to get the likes of Mitchell to perform at his best.

Aitken to the Dogs and Lafai to Souths. Mitchell to the Dragons.

Finally , someone who knows what we want - but won’t get even if we had the keys to Aladdin’s cave .

Graham? What leverage does an aging prop have in today’s player market? Not much, I would’ve imagined.

Using him a some sort of bargaining tool is pretty geniused.

Get over it. He is not coming here, never was coming here, never will be coming here and he is definitely not coming to the forest, select invites only
