Manfred Mann Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 The Sydney Roosters have just withdrawn an upgraded pay offer to star centre Latrell Mitchell of AU$800,000 for 2020. The Roosters have indicated that he is now free to negotiate with other clubs. https://www.theaustralian.com.au/sport/nrl/sydney-roosters-close-door-on-latrell-mitchell-talks/news-story/930da27a5668d73746a1a423c9f826dc However he has recently lost value in the eyes of many NRL clubs after his poor performance for Australia against Tonga. He is now widely regarded as being an inconsistent performer, based upon all of his 2019 performances, including a poor State of Origin.. Could he come to Super League? Who could afford him apart from Toronto? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was fantastic in 2018 at times unplayable but off field issues seemed to have a detrimental effect on his form in 2019 with several lethargic performances,getting involved with Mundine probably wasn't a great idea either.

He wont be coming to Super League 100% He will accept a reduced offer to stay in the NRL as his value has dropped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smudger06 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 A very talented player. You can't have a poor game in a Kangaroos defeat. Let himself down. Have Easts offered him same / reduced money? Regardless will stay in the NRL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver Clothesoff Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 A superb player, probably one of my favourite players currently to watch. When he’s at his best, he’s one of the best players on the planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clogiron Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Him or his agent have a over inflated view of his worth, whilst a great player on his day he's lazy and doesn't involve himself enough in the game, prepared to let the others do the hard work while he takes the glory. Wests Tigers seem to be keen on him at any price so he may end up there if he's burned his bridge's at the Rooster's, bit of a comedown but I can see no way that he will go to Toronto, out of his comfort zone family wise, and a career dead end at his age.

Supposedly in 2 other RU centres, Cooper & T'eo or suchlike, once you start flashing the cash everybody, or their agent's crawl out of the woodwork trying to bump their price up. Despite what Kayakman think's not everyone is desperate to play for TWP, some have good lifestyles and familiar surroundings that they would be reluctant to exchange for Manchester or Toronto, the surfing on the ship canal or Lake Ontario just doesn't compare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunbar Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Latrell Mitchell absolutely has the talent to be the best player of his generation. But his workrate and attitude has been and must be questioned now. NSW dropping him from Origin after a loss in game 1 is a massive sign that something is not right and then they go on to win the series. Then he keeps his Kangaroo spot because Meninga keeps faith in him. There was an incident in the Tonga game when the ball was loose and Australia had a chance to regain possession if Mitchell dived on the loose ball but instead he swings a boot at it and kicks it off the park. Tonga regained possession. You could see the anger and frustration in his captain (and club captain) Boyd Cordner when that happened. Coaches look at the big picture and if a player causes disruption in the team they are often shown the door irrelevant how talented they are. I don't want this to happen with Mitchell as he is a great talent who could entertain us for the next 10 years.
