    NRL: Latrell Mitchell future, Roosters contract, Origin, Brad Fittler
    Latrell Mitchell joins NRL.com to discuss his playing future, State of Origin series and his second straight premiership win.
  • I think Latrell has some serious issues. Not sure he should have done that interview.

  • I didn't watch the interview and I don't need to because I wouldn't want him in our team and we don't need him. There's nothing wrong with our backline as is, same goes for our halves.

  • There is absolutely nothing wrong with Latrell. If you don’t agree, ask yourself how you would handle all this at 22...

    He’s an indigenous kid from the country trying to look after himself and his family I suggest a little empathy from all of you. If you think he’s being greedy than you’re an idiot. He should be able to look at his options without the media trying to manipulate his decision and force him into signing less than what he’s worth.

    The Roosters are pulling the string behind this whole media story and all of you are playing along.

    His manager should be doing a much better job than he currently is.

    He’s gonna kill it at fullback just like Inglis did. I love Gutho, but he’s just not the gamebreaker Mitchell is. I’d be moving Gutho to centre and Mitchell to fullback. Wouldn’t pay more than a mil though.

    • There's plenty wrong with Latrell on and off the field in NRL headquarters he's considered the biggest grub in the game. Think about that for a minute considering the moral standing of some individuals in the game and you'll understand why the blokes unsigned.

      • Very interesting reading Bup given some of the rumours that I have heard but would not repeat on here without further evidence.

         I watched the interview late last night but need to watch it again to double check but the way he spoke about Fittler is not good for his SOO future.

        • He’s definitely got some maturing to do, not going to disagree with anyone there... but, ffs he’s 22?!

      • Biggest grub in the game? Please...

        People use to say that about Kenny Edwards too, think about that for a minute.

        When you say grubs I think McGuire, Gallen, Chambers, Vunivalu, Cam Smith,  Leilua, just to name a few. Mitchell isn’t even on the radar.

        • Agreed Mack. I think his contract negotiation has been appallingly handled by his manager, but, as they say - where there's smoke, there's fire and you have to wonder why mediocre teams like the Dogs and Tigers - who have money to spend - would pull out negotiations with a very talented footy player. 

          And, the Roosters rarely lose a player they want to keep so for them to dismiss him in the way they did does make you wonder what goes on behind closed doors with Latrell.
