    Default Latrill Mitchell

    Has confirmed he will leave the Roosters. If (and it's a big if) he was willing to come to SL, should we break the bank to try and sign him? Yes we have Percival and Naqaima but he is a once in a generation type of player. For me I would definitely try everything I could to sign him.

    I think the only club in SL that could afford him is Toronto. But in any case I think he’s off to Souths.

    He undoubtedly has talent but I’m not convinced he has the right attitude to become a legend. He’s gone missing in several big games and appears to have caused some trouble behind the scenes hence Roosters unwillingness to keep him.

    PS he’s one player that I’ve always had an irrational dislike of.

    No, we should not try and sign one of the best players in the world. Why would we do that?

    Actually, thinking about this, bollocks to him, he'd be off as soon as he got a better offer anyway and we have 2 of the best centres in SL, what's the point in rocking the boat for a season.

    Cheers mate , had a great bit of news only "temporary" BUT I'll have at least a couple of years to watch this team get even better with some superb youngsters coming through, really is exiting times . PS never been away always when I could "looking in" just being nosey lol.

    It’s an interesting one as he wants to play full back, a position he has barely played at the top level but Roosters obviously already have Tedesco. A lot of the top outside backs move to full back now as it’s such an important position a la Tedesco, Inglis, Hayne etc but essentially you’ve got a world class centre wanting to be paid world class centre wages for someone to take a risk on him positionally. South Sydney and Gold Coast are pretty much the only teams who can afford him on such short notice but there’s plenty of teams with cap space to spare in 2021 so a short term option could be the way forward before picking up a more lucrative long term contract. Not abroad though, he’s not giving up his State of Origin or Australia shirt. Either way, good news for us that Roosters are without 2 of their best players from last year, Cronk and Mitchell.
    Forwards win games. The backs decide by how much.

    Yes !!!!, but would be good to watch him play for Saints against the roosters, can he be signed for one game.

    Nope, Banny Barba version 2. I’m confident in the squad we have, it’s the most settled in super league, every player in our squad should know what each other is about to do.

    He would be on first flight home if an NRL offer came in. Dont need that in our squad.

    Im also happy to know he wont be in the Chooks squad against us in the WCC as he is set to Sign on for the Bunnies.
