[Resurrected] No Dogs 10 year deal for Latrell (and contract dramas)

[QueefRichards]

That's a crazy gamble for the Dogs. Basically hoping that it has the Ponga/SBW effect.

He's too immature for a deal like that. Being on that kind of coin will go to his head and his form will slump after his work ethic drops.

That said, I'm glad it's happening because it will force the roosters to have him on their books at a believable market value if they try to keep him.

Seriously if he turns down $1.1 million a season and then signs for $500,000-600,000 a season at the roosters, then the salary cap auditors need to turn that club inside out.

Doesnt Nick just pay the rest in the form of 'Brown paper Bags'

 

[The '47ers]

No centre is worth that much money!

The odds of Latrell becoming a league GREAT are much higher than him crash and burning in a year or 3 IMHO.

Hopefully someone can mentor him through life and a successful RL career...he needs it.

Foran?

Meanwhile Kevin Walters says that other code has no chance of luring Kalyn Ponga away with filthy lucre, not while he can get a free maroon footy jersey....

"Walters, however, is adamant the challenge of State of Origin will be the ultimate antidote to any big-money offers from Rugby Australia and New Zealand Super Rugby franchises.

“Kalyn will not leave rugby league,” Walters said on Tuesday night.

“He’s a Queenslander through and through and he loves this Origin jumper.

“This Maroon jumper will keep Kalyn in the game.”

He's a funny one Latrell. I would definitely have picked him for NSW, and possibly my first player picked. But I would not want him at Manly.

I know there are a lot of comparisons to Inglis, and to me they are warranted.

On his day GI (and Latrell) was the most damaging centre in the game, for one-offs (Origin - ok 3 offs, and GF's) there's probably no centre you wanted more. And that's true for Latrell.

For a season.....nup. Latrell is a bit like Hayne, give you 5 outstanding games per season where he is easily the best player on the field, 5 where he goes ok, and another 14 (or so) where you checked to see whether or not he was on the field.

Compare that to Jamie Lyon. Week in and week out he performed. His worst performances were typical a 7 out of 10. But would also give you plenty of 8s and a few 9s.

Latrell/Hayne/GI will give you 10s. Then 1,1,1,4,1,1,10!!. Not worth the dent to the cap.

The rich list: big money contracts in the NRL

• Jason Taumalolo - $10 million over 10 years
• Daly Cherry-Evans - $10 million over eight years
• Ben Hunt - $6 million over five years
• Sam Burgess - $1 million per season until 2023
• Anthony Milford - $4 million over four years

 

[Woodsie]

When you are coming dog last with only 2 players contracted beyond 2020 you need a big name signing to attract other names to the club .... but pretty certain Mitchell wouldn't be the one I would bet the house on deliverering ......

ASHLEY Taylor will become the richest young half in the game after agreeing to a new $3.2 million three-year-deal with the Gold Coast.

$11m? That's a lot of money to flush down the latrine.

 

[ricardo]

Whatever he signs is irrelevant. He will sneak out of it in a few years citing homesick or some such

 

[ricardo]

Also, how is Peachey going at the Titans?

Good post, and totally agree....but I saw plenty of 10’s from Jamie>>>FREAK

Will not argue with that in the slightest.

And more importantly saw bugger all poor performances.

 

[SeaEagle21]

I hope they do sign him, weakens the Roosters and they stay away from Tom, win-win imo

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Uncle Nick will not let it happen. This is just pushing his price up.

 

[pt73]

Also, how is Peachey going at the Titans?

Not very peachy just like their other big signing Bryce Cartwright.

Rumours that Peachey wants out to go back to the Riff.

"price"

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Now theres reports of a 5 year deal lol i reckon for that money he will go surely roosters cant match that
