I'm taking a more positive/glass half full view of this.
Yeh, I know it is dragging on and I'm frustrated as well.
But I've no doubt that there is a hell of a lot of behind the scenes work to be done with lawyers and the contracts which takes time. It was unofficially announced a few weeks ago that Mitch had agreed to terms so I'm assuming that all the paperwork has to be finalised before being signed.
It is in the interest of both parties to ensure this is all done correctly. Contracts may have to be forwarded and returned between both parties several times before a final copy is therefore signed and consequently announced by the club.
It is my belief that Mitch wants to and will stay and will announce soon.
It is also my belief that his uncle would have been screwing us hard, hence the ongoing delays. I think it is unfair to blame Mitch and make claims of greed, etc... None of us knows what goes on behind the scenes.

In the Fox article above, Mitch mentions several times how good the club have been to him and have handled negotiations. He also heaps praise on BA for his handling of the situation.

Mitch isn't going anywhere. Just my opinion.

PS : I have no inside information.

Would you like to buy a little bird? I'm selling a few old ones cheap.

You can not change the physical size of a player and the leg drive and how fast they accelerate.
Moimesea has tiny calves and looks thin. He has no leg drive at all or power.
Mataele and Morretti I've seen a couple of times. Very big boys who have raw power. They have the physical element to become NRL players if their attitude and other parts of game develop.
Moimesea I just don't think has anything to work with. I hope I am wrong.
Does size matter? Its attitude and intent. Its in the mjnd and not the size.

Didn't we have some monsters in kelepi and pauli and even loko

Surprised the media has taken that angle tbh.

Would have thought they would be having a field day about how incompetent we are for not getting the deal done already.
It will somehow be the Tigers incompetence to blame.

"Mitchell really want to sign up quickly with his beloved Parramatta, but the Tigers prevented that"
