Latrell Mitchell - Brilliant article

[Johnny Tobin]

> Mitchell revealed he is on the cusp of inking a new management deal with Rushton, the player agent who prefers to keep a small client base of 32 athletes — among them Knights superstar Kalyn Ponga.

Seems like a lot. How many do most have and how can I become one? :P

As a lawyer it's easy to become one. However, it's almost impossible to break into it.

Rushton is also a Real Estate agent! Same dude

Best news out of that article is Latrell isn't signing Matt Rose as his new Manager/Agent.

Interesting if it is, being Central Coast based, given Latrell's background from the same area.

There is an accreditation for player managers and they can be de-registered if they do the wrong thing.

FIVE-EIGHTH

With Cooper Cronk announcing this week that 2019 will be his farewell season, Mitchell said he would love to move into the No. 6 jersey next year alongside Luke Keary.

“I can see myself there, yeah,” he says. “I’d love to train at five-eighth for a full pre-season.

“I played a lot at No. 6 as a kid, and I’ve seen my dad play there too. So I know the position.

“And I know if I trained that position for an entire pre-season I could do it. Originally it was the other way, I was a half who didn’t know if he could play centre.

“I’d definitely be excited to take on a new role and take my game to another level.”

I'd say he's staying put.

He will need to harden up abit, if a blue with his agent did all that to him, I hope he never has to face a rea crisis in his life then.

How the fark did the Orr bros become player agents? Were they going cheap back in the day?

Agree completely.

[ROC181]

It is, walker is with Matt rose

Well that’s good because that manager seems to be using a divisive approach to management if what I hear is correct.

Disagree completely.

We all have our own troubles in life and we all react differently. Who are we to judge Latrell for the way he's handled his adversity? Even moreso who are we to assume we know the extent of his troubles?

Each to his or her own but I'd rather wish him and his family well rather than tell him to harden up.

I'm with Tommy. The guy's dad came down here and it didn't work out for him, so he knows how easy it is to fail.

I suspect for Latrell the split with his agent was a real crisis in his life, as was the process of finding a replacement. Sports people basically hand over their lives to these blokes, and a wrong choice can really impact his livelihood and his future.

Everyone reacts differently to situations and Latrell has always been an emotional bloke who wears his highs and his lows on his sleeve for all to see. That is who he is, and he will never change. He is a little more complicated than your average footballer and I reckon will always be a little 'high maintenance'.
