Latrell (officially signs with Souths 13/1/20)

[blaza88z]

Joey vs latrell is going to be real interesting to see if it's just the Sydney hype machine or if he really can pick on someone bigger, meaner & just as skilled...

Yeah, nah

 

[Albert Rosenfeld]

Latrell Mitchell is the greatest rugby league player in the world today, followed by James Tedesco and Luke Keary.

Latrine is going to get a pasting from a miraculously healed Leipana.

Latrell Mitchell will teach B. J. "Joseph" Leilua a lesson in rugby league centre play.

Lol!

Latrell Mitchell will teach B. J. "Joseph" Leilua a lesson in rugby league centre play.

Unfortunately it has just been announced that B. J. "Joseph" Leilua is out injured for Sunday's big game. So Latrell Mitchell is unable to teach a lesson in centre play to Joey Leilua this weekend

 

[BadnMean]

Too bad. We'll have to wait until the late rounds...

He can still teach him a lesson, provided that Leilua watches the game

But there's no way BJ can absorb any lesson without access to the Raiders communal brain....

Wighton needs it this week.

Rumoured clubs will try and get him with over $1.4mill ayear. Is it possible for a centre to be worth that much? Player salaries seem to be going stupid.

If only Uncle Nick had a better golf game other clubs wouldn't have to pay overs

 

[mozza91]

Teaching BJ a lesson would be pretty superfluous. He doesn’t have the brain power to retain information for more than 30 seconds.

If bird and milford are on a million Latrell's worth 2.

Jamie Soward said on NRL.com that Latrell Mitchell will not leave the Roosters. No way!

The idea of certain positions being inherently worth more is pretty silly. If LM is having a massive influence on games from centre, he'll get paid. Moving to 1 or 6 isn't necessary.

It will be difficult for anyone to outbid the Roosters on him. You would think the lion's share of Cronk's salary will go to Latrell. The cap also rises 200k next year and 100k each of the 2 years after.
Roosters will be able to pay him as high as anyone could want within reason. We will only get beat on massive overs.
Paying a single player 1.4M would make balancing the rest of the cap very difficult.

I expect that Latrell's next contract will be something like what Jason Taumalolo has signed with cowboys. Over $1mill per year for 4 / 5 or even 6 years.

I also think that once he's secured his future, he'll be lazy as all shit and only get involved in the game when he has to.

While he has the talent to be the most dominant player in the game, he doesn't strike me as having the drive to maintain that for a long period of time.

Sounds a lot like a former drink driving qld and australian captain that played for souths

Souths fans still don't rate Keary though so take with a grain of salt

 

[Albert Rosenfeld]

Jamie Soward used to play for the Roosters and he knows Nick Politis personally. So when Jamie Soward speaks of Latrell Mitchell not leaving the Sydney Roosters, people should take heed.
