Latrell a proud Rooster who wants to stay in the NRL

[bondi paul]

He played in a very balanced team today which management got player minutes right and the subs.Fittingly he scored the 1st try and looked dangerous at all times - being at the game I watched him closely as I did with the Manu Fergo combo and seeing them outside of a tv image showed more.

The fact that he is back in proves nothing either way about the rumours. He is back in because of what happened to SKD. But he has taken the opportunity with both hands and seems happy for now and let's hope it continues.

just give up while you are miles behind take the loss on the chin and give it all another go tomorrow

[fletch]

What did he say?

mentioned that while he was out of first grade he needed to focus on his diet/preparation to show his team mates he deserved a spot in first grade.

If there is any way to do it, lock him in now for at least the next 5-6 years. He gets better and better every single game. You can see him growing on the field as a player and will only improve and extend his natural talent with more game time. If he needs 2-3 weeks off every season, I don't care. That display today was worth the price of a season pass in itself! The comparisons to GI are well founded but I think he could be even better.

This year isn't done but what we have to look forward to over the next couple of years makes me wee a little bit.

Haven't seen the interview, however recall one of the posters who perpetuated this bs rumour has gone missing, as his bs rumours have begun unraveling.

[Maxy Walker]

It's good that he wants to play NRL. Unfortunately he didn't say who with

[Tommy Smith]

Yes he did.

He made mention of the Roosters.

Stop trying to fan the flames of a non existant fire.

Big Maxy will not be censored

[Ray Stehr]

Latrell leaving was a bs rumour started by disgruntled souffs fans, nothing more than that.

Listening to Robbo in the presser also mentions that some of the stories coming out were ridiculous and that nobody knows the personal conversations between him and Latrell.

Some idiots on here believe any sh!t coming out on twitter or from the lurker flog.

NRL 2017: Resurgent Rooster Latrell Mitchell on collision course with star signing James Tedesco

SYDNEY Roosters youngster Latrell Mitchell has welcomed the club’s big-money signing of James Tedesco, but still has his sights set on being an NRL fullback.

Mitchell was considered the Roosters’ fullback-in-waiting following his breakout rookie season last year, however was shifted in favour of veteran Michael Gordon over the summer.
The 19-year-old was then dropped to reserve grade after the club’s round six defeat to Brisbane, raising questions about his future at Bondi Junction.
That speculation intensified when the club lured Tedesco on a three-year deal last week, but Mitchell held no ill-feeling towards the club’s recruitment of the incumbent NSW State of Origin No.1.

“He’s going to come and he’s going to add his fire to the team. I’m pretty excited for him to come and have a dig. Hopefully he can do what he does at the Tigers here,” Mitchell said.

“I’ll always be a fullback by heart and hopefully I get that crack to be back there but I’m enjoying centre, learning that defensive side of things. I’m pretty comfortable where I am.”
Making his first NRL appearance since his demotion to NSW Cup, Mitchell turned in a busy effort in the Roosters’ 48-10 win over Parramatta on Sunday.
He scored the opening try and played a hand in two others before finishing the night with 93 metres, five tackle breaks, three offloads and no missed tackles.
“It’s been a few ups and downs in the last three weeks. I was pretty happy to get back on the field and play some footy with the boys,” Mitchell said.
“It didn’t get to the point where I wanted to quit footy. I’ve never experienced being dropped.
“To be able to go through that and come out strong, I don’t want to go through that again.”
“It was pretty ridiculous there for a while actually ... We understood how we wanted him to play and what he’s capable of. He just needed a couple of weeks off,” Robinson said.
“He played some good reserve grade games, came back in and played really well tonight.
“We try and create a story out of it, about why and what’s going to happen and all that. The guy played well tonight, deserved it, played bloody well.
“He earned it through training and hard work and that’s what this week will be about again.”
