Latrell Mitchell to be charged

[HDTONE]

Reckon he'll cop a fine because the NRL maybe want him in the war between Easts and Souffs.

No LM then Al that crap about well we would've made the finals IF LM was playing.

As much as I’m happy to see Latrell not play I would also love to see him out there in a loosing Rabbitohs side
And jwh to give it to him again

Damning video’: Moment sums up Rabbitohs’ woes as star duo spark internal unrest

The Rabbitohs are reportedly facing internal unrest after it emerged coach Jason Demetriou hasn’t held star duo Cody Walker and Latrell Mitchell to the same standards as the rest of the squad.

According to the SMH, figures inside the club’s football department have reportedly made their concerns known to Rabbitohs officials.

Assistant coaches Sam Burgess and John Morris are also reportedly of the same opinion with South Sydney facing a crucial clash against the Roosters in Round 27 which will define their season.
Rabbitohs officials have invested heavily in Mitchell and sent him to the US to work with specialist Bill Knowles to recover him a hamstring injury.

Teammates and powerbrokers were also reportedly left with a bad taste in their mouth after footage emerged of the star fullback sculling a beer on stage with country singer Luke Combs during the week.
Speaking on NRL360, veteran rugby league reporter Phil Rothfield revealed that Walker and Demetriou had an argument following their loss to the Sharks.

“Let’s start with the rumour about Cody Walker and the coach... after they lost to Cronulla in Perth they had quite an exchange,” Rothfield said.
“I’ve spoken to people about that and they insist that while they may have had a difference of opinion it was definitely not personal. Cody has no problem working with Jason.”

“There’s a reason why you are a premier club and you aren’t winning, it’s not a coincidence,” Anasta said.
“There’s a story that just broke that Latrell and Cody are not being held to the same standards as the other players in the team, this is getting louder.

“Discipline comes from standards which comes from training which comes from taking the standards set at training on to the footy field. They are last in errors, second last in completion rates.”

Anasta also highlighted a number of moments in which Mitchell was left in backplay or in the wrong place in defence against the Knights.

“Tell me another fullback in the game who stands still like that and doesn’t support up the middle of the ruck,” Anasta said.

“Tell me whatever you want to tell me and he is not solely to blame, but he is the leader at that club. He is the barometer and once he starts making better decisions and wears his heart on his sleeve.

While The Daily Telegraph’s Brent Read questioned why the blame was placed solely on Mitchell, both Rothfield and Anasta explained the footage painted a clear picture.

“Ready, that is really damning video, it shows a lazy footballer to me and he is on over $1 million dollars, he hasn’t played much football,” Rothfield said.

“We aren't just blaming him, you are taking this like it’s an attack on him, majority of tis team are playing well under par right now,” Anasta said.

“It’s been a few months now, it is not a one off. We are talking about the standards and discipline as a leader, we are talking about the things off the field.”

“I know where he is coming from, we don’t want to dump it all on Latrell, but that video is so damning and I don’t think Latrell would want to watch that,” Rothfield added.

“When you are on that sort of money, and he’s on double what Dylan Edwards is on, you’ve got to look at Edwards’ effort plays.

“They were total opposite to what we just saw... that was a desperation, season defining game yesterday and from that video I saw, he didn’t really turn up.”

Meanwhile, discontent with Demetriou has also emerged after players found out he had liked a fan’s comment slamming both Liam Knight and Jacob Host’s performances earlier in the season.

After his side’s loss to the Raiders in Round 13, Demetriou liked a comment which reportedly read: “We had @liam_knight and @hostyyy playing for us tonight. It’s a wonder we didn’t lose by 50 having those clowns pretending to be first graders.”

It has also emerged a Rabbitohs boss reportedly approached Wayne Bennett regarding a potential return to Redfern after his stint with the Dolphins is complete.

However, club officials denied the approach.

Trouble in Redfern..........i effin love it!!!!! You reap what you sow

Being a good footy coach is not only about RL. You need to know how to manage egos. This is part of the job that Demetriou is now struggling with and will see him lose his job in the near future.

[QWERTY]

Can’t believe that Demertriou liked a post criticising his team and specifically 2 of his players. What a douchebag.

The last time they were a force in rugby league colour television hadn't hit Australia yet they aren't worth hating and neither is their fullback who has only contributed negatively to their club

No obsession just dislike.

I don't forget nor forgive the Manu dog shot. That sole act on a supposed good mate revealed a lot about his character.

The only problem I have with Mitchell is that he plays for Souffs.
