Bulldogs reportedly offer Latrell 10yr $11 million contract

[Johnny Tobin]

Am I wrong but I was of the belief that rival clubs could not negotiate with latrell until after November?

Yes

But they leak crap like this and the Souffs thing to try to get him to wait.

I smell b.s

There's a real lack of stability at the Dogs right from the top down, they're going to have to offer a lot more than a million a season to land any world class talent.

I don't think they're genuine competition for Latrell's signature... there will be genuine competition no doubt but the Dogs aren't it.

But Latrell won't consider lack of stability. He will be blinded by the dollars.

[Johnny Tobin]

We survived when half our team left at the end of 82.

We survived when Freeman left.

We ended up with a better player when Roger left.

We would more than survive Latrell leaving.

I’m quite certain Phil Gould is making some sort of power play to destabilise our club.

all these bullshit articles about latrell are all being driven by the newspaper he works for, and all list a “person close to the club” and other jibberish as their so called source.

its utter trash

You are paranoid.

For a start Hooper broke the story.

We would more than survive Laurel leaving.

Only if we re-sign Steve Hardy

Based on what?

Lol. Will fix that.

This bulldogs offer was spoken about on The Kennel Bulldogs forum about 9 days ago. Early last week. Bulldogs mates were telling me. Suprised it took them this long to regurgitate it.

I hope the bloke doesn't read any of the shit posted online as it would do his head in . The price you pay in this Day and age for having exceptional talent ! Mate you deserve all you can get but I hope the **** you stay a Rooster for life .

Just imagine your own workplace or family, everyone's talking about your money, gives some idea what he's faced with (I don't mean his roosters colleagues by the way). That sort of gossip has done my head in and im a nobody under no spotlight, no dependents, no hangers-on, no advisers. I doubt being 'rich and famous' makes him immune to all the shit talk.

$1.1 million a season is incredible money.

To be honest I'd worry about him if he didn't take it.

250k per cruciate ligament. Not sure if that's a sound investment.

There’s more to life than money. Who’s to say that if he stays with the Roosters that his salary won’t increase year by year. In 5 years time with salary cap increases he could be on $1.2mill. The next year $1.25mill and the following year $1.3mill and so forth.
Also he’s happy at the Chooks. It’s home and he knows he will be looked after.
For Latrell to play his best footy he needs to be coached and managed in a certain way. He is guaranteed that here. Anywhere else is a gamble. Especially at the Dogs. They are probably the most unstable club in the NRL.

But they do know how to throw a party.
