Latrell -- stay with Roosters next season and fight for your position LT

#Me too

Shoot me down, but I would love to keep Lats and let Friend go......
We have Sam on the rise and looking to the future Sam (21) and Lats (22) are the future.

I reckon Robbo would shoot you down.
Friend is Robbos favourite player & he is considered the toughest bloke in the club by Robbo & his peers. The bloke has put his life on the line for the Roosters something I dont think Latrell would do & I really like Latrell.

Tigers have offered 800 900 then 1m...
or more... for 3 yrs and to play FB...but he hasn't rushed over there and grabbed it...why?
Could it be that he really wants to stay with us...or is waiting to see what eventuates at Redfern.
He'd get plenty of ball to run with there...judging by the penalty counts every game.

Because he is not sure how his young family will be able to get to Concord, Leichhardt, Cambelltown & Bankwest Stadium on 1mil a year.

Understand why you say that but why would week rid of someone who bleeds for the club, players like Jake lead by example, something Latrell is not capable of , the playing group. follow players like Jake , Cords , and Jwh , he's only 29 I think ,, Sam will bide his time ,

Nobody bides their time anymore. The money and opportunities are to good elsewhere. Connor Watson could of been part of two premiership teams now, but chased the $$.

http://Latrell Mitchell eyes Rabbito...take a pay cut

Latrell Mitchell hasn’t given up hope of playing for the South Sydney Rabbitohs next season, even if it means him taking a substantial pay cut.

The Sydney Roosters discard will not commit to the Wests Tigers and their $1 million-a-season offer until his manager has explored all options … which includes the Rabbitohs.

Mitchell is extremely close to Souths five-eighth Cody Walker and centre James Roberts. The trio were spotted sitting together at the Tim Tszyu-Jack Brubaker fight last week.
He also loves the indigenous culture that has been such a rich part of South Sydney for decades.

They will then look at finalising their roster. Souths have a number of ways to squeeze Latrell into the salary cap.
There will be money left over from Burgess’ $1.2 million, there are many third-party options for Latrell and the Roosters would no doubt contribute to his 2020 contract.

For a number of reasons the Rabbitohs are Latrell’s best option. For starters, there is Wayne Bennett, who has a long and proud relationship with indigenous footballers. Mitchell could stay living in the eastern suburbs. He also has Greg Inglis on staff at Redfern.

The problem is the money. The Rabbitohs cannot match what the Wests Tigers can offer. At the Rabbitohs, he would have to accept probably $200,000-a-season less.

It would, however, be a wonderful thing to further inflame the ugliest rivalry in rugby league history between the Roosters and the Rabbitohs.

His presence would sell thousands of extra tickets when they meet in Round 3 at ANZ Stadium in a Friday night blockbuster.

The Rabbitohs are aware of Latrell’s preference to play at Redfern and are desperately trying to sign the Burgess replacement (Jai Arrow or David Fifita) to move on to Latrell.

Well there you go.

We pay Souths to take him, so he can play for them in 2020, and play for them in the round 3 ANZ blockbuster, at their home ground, while we don't even have a halfback yet, and lost the same game this past season because of seemingly biased refereeing.

Not if bondi.boy were 'king'!
He'd either be playing properly in first grade for us or playing for Norths in 2020.
I'm about the Roosters winning games, not committing footy 'suicide'.

Does your family hate you?

Even that being the case , cant see them getting rid of Jake ,, Sam is going to be a great player I know but No way Robbo and especially Nik after the way Jake has turned his life around and become a true leader off the club would shaft Jake .

Can you upload a copy as not all have telegraph subscription , not much sense sharing it if we cant read it.

I did post a lot of it, and made comment...but the post went green, labelled 'unapproved', then later disappeared. Maybe it was my comment the "Unapproved" censor didn't like.
I might have to post it again in parts, bit by bit.

How would having an overweight, injury prone, drunk driver with a DV record on their staff be beneficial to latrell?

The roosters talked tough about about not releasing him to Souths, let’s see if it was all talk.
