For starters

1) there are many Souths fans and they do come from different backgrounds.
Just look at the membership numbers. The largest of any NSW club for starters. The fans include indigenous , there are battlers , middle class and there are rich and famous.Some with teeth and some without . Some with jobs and some without.

You like to paint a broad brush for your arguments ......a focus on the "group" that suits your argument.

2) Many Souths fans , do take pride in the junior development focus . You IGNORE , there is a Souths Juniors Club , was one of the richest in NSW ( do not know current status , I never go to Clubs) it has an affiliation with Souths , however has always maintained its focus on "junior development" and not directly take over the NRL team. Many Souths fans , see both clubs as linked .........YOU DO NOT it appears. 5 of the current run on team have come from the junior teams. Reynolds , Graham , Roberts , Murray, Alex Johnston.

3) you conveniently IGNORe ( because thet is you game) that Souths have had 3 very influential player retire in 2019 .........GI , Sam B and John Sutton.

All three have been captains of the club,
GI one of their greatest all time backs , Sam B one of their greatest all time forwards and John Sutton who holds the all time club playing record.

So YES , Souths have $$$ .
To satisfy a dope like you , Souths should out this money into long term development of their juniors and perhaps have a great team in 10 years.
or
Souths use the money they have to try and get the best available players they can get to replace the very specials players they have lost.

What you think , stinks of envy . ( it always has)
Let's not forget that you should have had to wait 6 months to get the Burgess cap space, shouldn't even be in the race for Mitchell yet

So will the NRL register a 1-year 400k contract for Latrell at Souths when he turned down 1.1m per year over 4 at the Tigers?

Is this kid seriously the dumbest person alive? I thought he was "chasing the money, bruh!"

They definately should not, he has to be signed at market value. Tigers offered 1m, that's his value. Otherwise the NRL should kiss there already loose salary cap goodbye. Parra could not sign Izzy for this reason

Mitchell going to Bennett's Souffs is oddly appropriate as Bennett's steadily eroding standards have become more and more obvious. He is too much of a man manager and not enough of a coach these days, right up Latrell's alley.

There's no way the NRL would allow us to sign Mitchell for $400k, $800k less 2 months salary he's already been paid to date would likely be the minimum acceptable amount.

$1.1m would not be the marker for his market value as that includes the battler tax for playing for the Tigpies.

When no other merkin wants him, and there is a mil on the table, that is the market value. If there is no offer his value is f**k all.
