Latrell's move orchestrated by the Obeid family.

[Mickie Lane]

Why were they sponsoring all those Parramatta players. The integrity unit looked into it and found it all above board but they uncovered eight Parra players sponsored by the Obeid’s. In the articles they stated they are Parramatta supporters.

Dunno but I do know they always followed Souths.
Why are they sponsoring Latrell at Souths.

[Horry]

I had a chat with a very good friend of mine who is a Souths Sponsor. He also knows the Obeids very well. He has confirmed that's where the TPA's are coming from.He thinks tomorrow or Monday will be an announcement. He also can't stand Crowe and thinks that Richo will be gone soon and no-one likes him. He is still cut about Keary and is not keen on Mitchell. He told me the Burgess boys totally feared JWH

[TDK]

Lol its now reported that Mitchell has spent the day at Crowe’s farm with Crowe and James Packer. Who needs the Obeid’s miserable 3PAs when you have James Packer and Russell Crowe dinning you. I think a large amount of cash has been handed over by Packer and Crowe. I truly don’t think Mitchell made his decision to join Souths because some private family organized a lousy 3PA lol. Just think about it!

And camping there tonight.

He is now officially erased from Easts folklore.

Sad.

I think the gist of the story is why people are annoyed he is going to Souffs.
yes he has contributed to our success but we have assisted him to become the player he is and accommodated him in many areas.
now that he is reaching what should be the peak of his career, it appears he is choosing to go to our arch enemies and he hasn’t been up front about it.
I don’t wish injuries on him, but I will be booing him Rnd 3

I do wish injuries on him.

Might call up my mum's old mate who lives on the property next door for a scoop.

But crazy hey? Imagine being told 3 years ago pearcy would get the boot, we'd go b2b and latrell to souffs. WtF?!

[Johnny73]

nah I think maybe just a couple of knuckleheads but most everyone is pretty cool.

I only have the one account. Check with the moderators if you like. Whoever that goof off Bondiboy is, he isn’t me.

[Steakface]

It hurts but not because he is going to Souths, it hurts that the Roosters couldnt retain arguably the best player in the NRL.

He isn't the best player in the NRL.

Heck, in our 2019 team alone i'd have Teddy, Keary, Cronk and JWH above him.

You've been listening to too much blagging from the talking heads on Nein.

More accurately, he is arguably the best center in the NRL.

I hope this is all true. Especially the bold part!

Obeid is a ex board member of the Vermin.

After the Tigers game it wouldn't be inaccurate to say that Latrell was borderline invisible for much of the next 4-5 months. Thankfully he turned up in the GF with a great defensive effort and a clutch play.

But no way is he the best player in the NRL. The most naturally talented? Perhaps. But being the best player in the NRL means putting in a minumum 8 or 9 out of 10 performance every week and I reckon Teddy has done that for about 40 odd games in a row now.

The bloke is a freak of nature in both quality and consistency at the back - just like Slater, who similarly left GI for dead when measuring their body of works over the course of their respective careers.

Also in a few years when Teddy perhaps starts to slow down then I'd back Payne Haas to be the world's best. Equally as freakish as Latrell and churned out monster performances every week as a 19yr old.

Now there's a bloke I'd cream myself over in a RWB jersey.

[Old Man Rooster]

Teddy may become the greatest player ever to play for the Roosters. He has it all and never stops.

[mattyh]

prime Freddy or teddy circa 18/19? you can only pick one ...go on
