Latrell Mitchell to be charged

[Jacks Fur Coat]

I would love it if Latrell has played his last game for Souffs and comes back to his true home at the Roosters in 2024 - the club that actually did care about his welfare, not just blow smoke up his arse.

That would be a bad move I think, anyway it would never happen. If he has played his last game for the year and Souths miss the playoffs, I'm not sure how this media and fan pile on will affect him. I wouldn't be surprised if we get a TPJ type announcement at some not too distant point in his career. His heart's not in the game.

NRL 360 sure were getting stuck into him last night. It was brutal.

Bring in Napa and tell him to take Cody's head off.

Id be a happy man regardless of the game result.

Ideal result is that we smash them with a record score line, and THEN a few decapitations (legally, of course)! LOL

Keep the bats quiet and don't wake the bats is a term often used in Baseball

All this press nonsense will only galvanise Souths and will make the Roosters job last round even tougher.

Braith who is normally quite measured really gave it to him. He even gave it to Lachlan Ilias, who he manages!

I've always lionised Trell but tbh he was "sacked" by the Chooks because he was/is difficult. He was also inclined to be lazy when he was here, often making little contribution and that has been the case also at Souffs lately.

In his defence, it is impossible to keep a level head when the media has made you a superstar and in his case, he is reported as complaining that the team relies too much on him to come up with winning plays - they've bought the superstar tag too. It's a pity because, at his best, he IS the best but atm, it's looking disastrous for him.

Robbo knew he didn't have the work ethic to play fullback regularly and consistently well.

You better keep one night free this weekend....I think Mickie will be asking you out after this effort.

At the next of the day I love JWH being a grub.

Now official (they had till 12pm today) the vermin have accepted the early guilty plea and Latrell will miss the round 27 game against the Roosters, honestly its head scratching that they didn't try to get it downgraded due to lack of force, really does make you wonder with his lack of effort recently whether they are happy not to have to put up with his crap.

No idea given he's out for the season either way. Might as well challenge. Not the first time he's ruled himself out for the season through foul play.

If they had got the downgrade he would of been available for the Roosters game so it makes little sense not to roll the dice.

The way I see it is that they are banking themselves to beat us without him, and then have Mitchell for the finals series. Challenging the ban could result in 2 weeks, which means that if they do make it they will be without him again. Say what you will about Mitchell, but when he is on for souffs very few can stop them.

Just out of interest Blake Taafe, Trell's replacement, is a former Paddington Colt. Must have been in Easts' junior development because Souffs have him listed as a La Perouse junior.

Big ears/big nose is this morning apparently saying that he accidentally liked the post on instagram about Knight and Host.

This just gets funnier and better.

To be fair I think the criticism of Latrell is well overdue.

Yeah he has some flashy plays when they are on the front foot but his effort areas at fullback are putrid and always have been. It’s honestly not NRL standard, and the fact he has gotten away with it with no real criticism as of yet always suprised me. Usually they use the old ‘he is a different style of fullback’ or ‘he can do things other fullbacks can’t’ to let him off the hook. But the video of him against the knights doing the rounds is not an isolated incident and looks like someone not invested.

He looks super unfit. He would have to be at least 110-115kg and sloppy, it’s evident he doesn’t have same conditioning expectations as the rest of the squad.

I find it a little sad. He is of the TPJ & Schuster mould where they have all this unmatched talent, yet lack that competitive drive that could make them great. Imagine someone like a Josh Reynolds, who would compete on everything and grinded out a semi-successful NRL career with very little talent, with the same attributes as those 3. He would be an immortal!

Attitude is everything and Trell’s attitude stinks. He is arrogant and I’m glad he is gone from our club.
