Robbo and Roosters management really looked after Latrell in so many ways. If his headspace was suffering, Robbo would send him home to get himself together. Can you imagine a club paying him a million plus doing that! Don’t think so....they would want him there every minute....special player but comes with conditions that needs understanding people around him....could get ugly

People said similar things about GI when he left the Storm and yet the season he will most remembered for will be his one at fullback with South's. Sometimes big fish in a small pond stand out even more...
This thread reads like the jealous ex, sorry BigRooster.

I hope he succeeds wherever he goes. He’s a great talent and would be a shame to see it go to waste.
There’s no doubt though that being the star signing on a million bucks at another club would be very different for him. Would be expected to set an example in that situation so would need to change his ways from what we’ve seen this year. Doesn’t mean he can’t do it. It’s easy to forget how young he is. Maybe he could grow into that kind of role.
Anyway I’m not yet convinced that other clubs actually want to pay him what he wants. We’ll see over the next few weeks I guess.

I listened to Papworth and Hughes on 2SM last Friday and they said that Latrell drifts in and out of a game or has had to deal with personal issues and the Roosters are able to accommodate him because we have players that can cover for him but that would never happen elsewhere or would be difficult for a club to cover.
I think all Roosters fans want him to stay here but if all of this is a ploy to go across Anzac Pde then they would be filthy and I think many of us feel that it has been done for that. Perhaps if he wants to play for Souths, the best thing he should have done is be honest and announced it first before all this contract issues appeared then our fans would have accepted it in a better way.Last edited by ROC181; 11-10-2019, 11:19 AM.

The problem I see In Latrell going elsewhere is from what I have seen to date of how he is when he doesn’t have Luke Keary beside him. I think he had 1 great SOO game in 2018 without Luke. In the test that year Luke gets injured early and Latrell has a decent game but Manu too the spoils. This year Latrell was going great and then Luke is injured for 8-10 weeks and Latrell is hardly seen again. The odds are against him in the short term (ie at least a season) for him to have any impact in another team and as a marquee player, he will be coping it from the media and fans from every angle and that will most likely derail him even more.

I honestly dont think he will go to Souths even though (wait for this) I think he should if he is to leave the Roosters because I think he would go better at Souths rather than take the 1.3 at the Tigers & be a 1 man show. As much as I would like to see him at the Tigers if it doesnt work out with the Chooks I think his career could struggle at a 9th 10th place team. I could be wrong & he could turn a mediocre club into a Premiership club.
I just hope the Roosters can work something out with him & keep him. Surely at 800k they could of found another 150 through a TPA?Originally posted by Chook;n805564Why the fark anyone takes any notice of modern media is beyond me. It's all click bait populist crap aimed at the lowest common denominator.
