Roosters discover next big thing

[thevoz67]

Its rare for a player to be physically and mentally ready for the call up ...judges tell me he is ready this year to step up.
Waste this kid in lower grades and he will walk.I say give him a few games in the U20"s and occasional first grade game here and there.

I have the faith that Robinson is a good "judge" of a player. If Mitchell is as good as everyone believes, then Robinson will have him in the mix.

He'll be going nowhere the kids been groomed for the fullback position for a while now,don't know where that leaves RTS probably back in Union or another club I'd imagine this kid is the real deal.

[Spirit of 66]

we would have to have an almighty injury crisis for him to play first grade this year, no need to rush him.

Agreed, but I do remember an 18 year old winger being an absolute sensation in 1975 - Ian Schubert.

Will be surprised if he doesn't feature at some stage this year. He's that good.

Souffs can f**k off!!

[fletch]

the only way he plays this year is if we lose Jenko/Toups/Fergo/Pearce/Maloney/Cordner/Guerra/Friend to Origin at the same time.

at this point in time he would be behind Elliot/MacDonald/Stapleton/Milne if there was an injury to an outside back.

regardless of what happens this year we need to get him under a 3yr deal ASAP because there is a real possibility he is starting FB in 2016.

[Salvatori Grubber]

He may get a run out of principal, kind of like Meehan last season.

Kinda like a combo of GI and RTS. Hard to say but GI just sorta waddles forward and uses his size/step to shrug people (isn't all that fast). As an ex-sprinter... IMO Mitchell has much better sprinting technique (relaxed upper body/arms, tight core muscles, straight back leg, all the right angles in his movement...etc) and also has a little wiggle like RTS. Not NRL footage, but REALLY exciting stuff. Surprised I hadn't looked at him in big detail before.

Oh and fortunately he knows which state he's from!! I'm starting to jizzle thinking about Mitchell and Hastings pairing up for the RWB/NSW/Australia some day (soon hopefully)!!

[Salvatori Grubber]

Which player, past or present do you think could have been the best professional runner, ism22?

Before we get too excited lets see how he goes in the under 20's first. I heard a lot of talk about Taane Milne around this time last year and after watching him play in the 20's all last year I have to say I'm not overly impressed. Hopefully Latrell is even more 'special'.

for those who haven't seem him play he is just a pure footballer, just glides across the ground effortlessly, but most importantly he has the clutch gene, when the team needs something special to get them out of trouble he is not scared to have the ball in his hands.

Or just State of Origin.... it's a possibility. Just 1 game for exposure like Meehan got.

Managers are very good at promoting players, but there are plenty of good outside backs in this 20s team, who have representative honours and experience, there are some who can play just as well at fullback. Robbo would be happy to have good depth in this side if players are needed earlier and that includes some of the players who make up the huge forwards pack

[theGman]

....He says he is ready for first grade.HE also says Souffs are going hard to poach him.

No doubt on the back of Latrell's cousin Damon Goolagong who the vermin snapped up last year from the Central Coast. He too is a speedstar tipped to play NRL soon.

[Rooster_6]

Latrell will re-sign, he loves the club.

Souths will push hard with the knowledge that Latrell idolises Greg Inglis but it wont be enough.

Reminds me a lot of Peachey, just the long strides, ease of movement and effortless strength to brush off players.

[kakaruk]

He has a terrific running style.He just shifts up another gear when he needs to.He might be the real deal this kid.Time will tell.

tuning into the 20s? so your only a foxtel fan? not a real one you don't actually go to games? im glas there not all like that on here otherwise no fans at games?
