  Actually its 2 years at 600k a year but Roosters are paying $120k. With match payments, origin and test etc he will be on exactly the same as this year at the Roosters.

  That being said, he was offered $1mill a season by the Tigers so he is losing out.

  I dont have a massive issue with it

    He probably won't even get selected for origin

      Yeah I can't see how he could force his way back in. I guess if he's lucky things might fall into place for him. E.g. if a there is an injury to Tedesco, turbo will move to fullback. Also wighton might get picked at 6. But even then I can't imagine Freddy will overjoyed to bring him back in, he might be just lucky there aren't many options at centre.

  Good fit for him at Souths, and will give Roosters an extra 2 million to spend on another Marquee player.

    I think Roosters will only throw in 60k per year but he won't be poor anyways.Souths will have a pretty good backline though with Latrell, Gagai, Burns, Roberts and Johnston.

    Although I can see either Gagai or Johnston leaving

  No issue cap wise as already contracted this year for 600k with roosters so can't really deny contract for 600k this year.  If Souths try register for less than 600 may have issue and contract still hasn't been approved by salary cap auditor.

  Souths should have that after NRL granted Inglis and burgess medical retirements and Arrow not coming to 2021.  Then they have year to offload players for upgrade in 2021. 

  Only sticking point is roosters said they will release Mitchell to anyone but Souths.  So I  doubt they will release him unless Souths pay his full contract for this year reimbursing roosters for wages already paid. So Souths aren't going get him cheap

  What I have heard is the deal for this year at Souths is $600k, on top of that the Roosters will pay $120k for his contracted period up to the time he signed with Souths, $720k for this year and Souths will upgrade his contact in 2021 when Gagai and Johnson leave.
