Not unless you saw it before it was taken down. The story headline certainly still appears in Google if you search Latrell Mitchell.

Back now

Seems they dropped the deal 500k to 11m, this new one is much more reasonable

Re: Jake Connor Hull FC
Jake Connor's got everything - unbelievable talent. He's easily the most disliked player in SL, too, as he gets under fans' skin.
The only problem he has at the moment is his position on the field. He's playing centre for Hull and England, but his skills say he needs to be down the middle somewhere.

11 million dollar, 10 year play?? That's a bold strategy, Cotton!

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2019
The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.
If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

They must want to play him at fullback for that money.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2019
It’s a good offer. Salary cap will continue to go up every year so in 4 - 5 years time it will probably be the average price for a blue chip centreThe Rickman wrote:11 million dollar, 10 year play?? That's a bold strategy, Cotton!

And they'll have to upgrade him commensurate with the salary cap increase or he'll walk away as soon as someone offers him more.LastRaider wrote: ↑June 18, 2019, 5:55 pmIt’s a good offer.

I don't rate him higher than (a fit) Joey Leilua as a centre and I wouldn't want to pay Joey that much either...

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2019
Hope the dogs get him for that, sign up the kid!
A. He looks to be a lot of work to keep on the field and in form, has a bit of that petulant child syndrome seemingly has a tanty when things don’t go his way you can even catch some of this going on on the field if you watch closely.
someone here compared him to Walker and that appears to be reasonably accurate, but Andrew just went Walk About... this fella has a sook.
B. Roosters lose him, I’ll enjoy that.
C. Lot of money for someone described in point A. Doubt he will see out that contract, so the Roosters loose and the Dogs loose... that’s a win for everyone else and park football in 5 years.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2019
If the Roosters keep him, hopefully they pay overs based on the Dogs offer. Sooner or later the Sombrero will break, with some luck this will be the straw that pushes it to breaking point... perhaps a boat will be the catalystthedevilingreen wrote:He won't leave the roosters when cronk retires this year it frees up like 7.8 million of the salary capOrganised Chaos wrote:Hope the dogs get him for that, sign up the kid!

SMH is now reporting 5 years for 5 million which is a bit more sensible.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2019
11mil, 10 years feels like a MAJOR deal, but in 5 years time when a new TV deal comes down and revenue continues to rise, and the cap is now 12-15mil, 1.1mil for the best outside back in the game is probably going to actually be below market

Why would the next TV rights be more?
Gina Riley: Oh, come on, John. That’s a bit old hat, the corrupt IOC delegate.
John Clarke: Old hat? Gina, in the scientific world when they see that something is happening again and again and again, repeatedly, they don’t call it old hat. They call it a pattern.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2019
It literally doesn’t matter what the cap does, because if the cap goes up, his salary will go up.
You can’t tell me in 5 seasons that if Latrell Mitchell is still a stud and he’s being paid in the low bracket that he won’t just walk out of his deal and go somewhere else
Long term deals are absolutely stupid

Of course he would. Any elite player who is locked into an awful contract for the next five years and essentially the rest of their career would be mad not to
Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2019
The Roosters will not lose a player they want to keep. They will find a way, if they want to. If they don't... hey presto, the Bulldogs are in even more salary cap trouble!

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2019
It’s mind boggling for the dogs to even consider doing this on the year they finally get out of cap trouble
Like, they have the wooden spoon wrapped up this season and probably next, and they want to flush their cap back down the toilet?

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2019
If it is 5 years for 5 million and it's to play fullback it's a gamble but worth it. That would take him through to 28 when the deal finishes which is when athletic backs start to slow down.
10 years is crazy, Inglis was a spent force by 29.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2019
Despite all the soothing noises coming out of the Roosters camp I wouldnt be too surprised if they decided that Latrell was more trouble than he is worth.
Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2019
I guess in reality, that is true. The player empowerment era is here and underpaid player and unhappy player will get out of his deal if there is more money on offer, and If he's still the best back in the world, he's probably not going to accept being underpaid to the market.The Rickman wrote: ↑June 18, 2019, 8:14 pm It literally doesn’t matter what the cap does, because if the cap goes up, his salary will go up.

So point well made.
In theory 11m over 10 years is a good deal. But yeah i guess that's never going to hold up if it's under market
Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2019
Because they never go down. Ever. The ONLY thing that is ratings proof right now is live sports, and advertisers know it.
Binge watching has diminished the TV ratings across drama shows etc... but you cant binge watch live sports. You just cant.
Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2019
I still maintain that the injury he suffered playing the Raiders was actually worse than made out. He only returned to play that game because they had two players who weren't able to return. He hasn't looked the same since that game.Cranky Old Man wrote:Despite all the soothing noises coming out of the Roosters camp I wouldnt be too surprised if they decided that Latrell was more trouble than he is worth.
