As the boys on 5th and Last podcast said, he’s more than a Centre. He’s a game-breaker who can support like a fullback, run lines like a second rower, kick goals and field goals and pretty much win a game on his own. Pay him.

I would hate to lose some of our young up and comers because of this like Radley, Manu, Lam ect or someone like Toops who for better or worse depending on the day has been great for the club....

You have to ask yourself, can we replace Latrell or can we replace the player or players we might lose. That's how you can put the decision into perspective.

Lets give Latrell $1.2, then of course we would have to upgrade Teddy and Keary to the same money. Then Manu and Toops would want at least $800K each, and SST is probably worth $800 if Taumololo is on $1MILLION, add Friend and JWH at $800K each as well, then Radley and Toupouniau well we have to keep them so anther $700 each ? That's NINE MILLION, and we don't have a halfback yet, maybe get a cheap one for $600 and that's our cap GONE. For ELEVEN players Where do we get the money to pay the other 19 ? Or does everyone else happily play for 25% less than they ae worth just to play with Latrell.?
