I’ve never been so angry watching a game. Not even close. Nothing like it. **** I hate latrine and his scum club.

Same here. Had I been at the game I fear I would have verbally gone off at latrine and knight. Lucky for me I wasn't in a position to embarrass myself.

Id piss on the prick if he as on fire.
Bud I would wait until the ashes were smoldering.

[mightyrooster]

I still had a soft spot for him before last night, but that’s gone. Had he showed any remorse when he realised what he did, and had he not a thrown that ball in an entitled fit of rage after scoring the try, I could have accepted that the hit on Manu was a desperate attempt to stop a try and an accident.

I wish him no good luck from now on.

My feelings exactly Milanja.

Its good how Chook supporters see this but mates on the Kennel see it the same. So I'm guessing here we're not on our pat. Many RL fans see that shit and the lack of balls by the match halfwits. It was the same with the knees in the back how the officials all stood around like waiting for the number 16 bus.

Robbo called this bullshit out deluxe and it needs to be. Any dog acts on the field need to be smashed. JWH or Rads would've walked for that but this bloke with a decent amount of form stays on.....No Fcuken Excuses.

The way Fatrell is going if he dont pull his head in he might spend a lot of a season on the sideline. Personally IDGAF except the bloke he hurts.

Latrell has some major issues moving forward in his life as a grown man and a father. Ironically he has an attitude of hate that he has been on a crusade to stamp out on social media.

I never thought he played well for us when angry. The fact that he spent 10 minutes off the field to calm down and returns with more fervour says it all - he paints himself as a constant victim, the most horrible thing after mashing his mates face was that he doubled down on himself rather than showing an ounce of remorse for Joey.

Like whats in the water at souffs? His attitude has worsened since he left us. I get the local derby rivalry and all but in the end its just a game.

That was no Dog shot from Mitchell. Dogs don't do that cause they are loyal beasts. Latrell is a filthy slimy snake who sell his soul to get his way. I was there at the game seating opposite from where the cameras are set. On the cameras side there wasn't a crowd other than those involved with the clubs. I'm not sure where Mitchell stands when receiving a kick off but I did notice that after he returned from the bin, he would not come close to where ALL of the fans were , that is Roosters fans and souffs fans. Either that's not where he would need to go unless necessary OR maybe he was told not go near the crowd cause all that time after the bin, he was on the other side

I agree with you stringaz.
Now that I have calmed down 24 hours after the incident, I am going to say I feel sorry for Latrell in one way , but he deserves everything he gets.
His actions last night - the ball throwing incident, the illegal hit, the boot to Brimson's jaw - its all pointing to him being a complete loose cannon with major issues in his life.
What's going on with this guy?
He moves over to Souff Sydney and he is among his indigenous mates, in the right place for him, its where people "understand" him , and he has the master coach advising him,
Then all I see this year is a player struggling with weight problems, has a chip on his shoulder about what position he plays, has a chip on his shoulder about his heritage and how he is hard done by , and now goes bezerk doing illegal things that will make him miss the finals.
At least at the Roosters, he seemed to be in good physical shape, and our club kept those emotions in check, and stopped it spilling over onto the field.
I am starting to think that with a few indigenous players leaving Souffs, as well as the Master coach abandoning them, that things might not be so rosy for Latrell..
I mentioned in another post on the chookpen ( and Blind Nellie can see this, if you think it through) rounds 24 and 25 are the most sensitive games all season.
Cop an injury / suspension to a key player(s) and your season , with the finals coming up , is over.
At least our coach had the commonsense to "rest" JWH for this dead rubber against the bunnies - he is too valuable .to us to lose him for the finals.
And did Latrell get "rested" by the master coach?
Now you know who is the Master, and who is the pupil.
I am also reading between the lines here , but what I will say, is borne out from what I see happening.
Footballers are gifted athletes - physically they are in top shape.
But they are also young - so what they don't have is years of experience dealing with issues in life - what they need is "Guidance"
Guidance as to what you do on the field, your actions off the field, what you should do , what you should not do.
And given what has happened with Latrell aver the last couple of weeks- I wonder whether he really understood the importance of the guidance he got at the Roosters during the years when he was here- he probably dismissed it as being unimportant, and just somebody else trying to tell him what to do.
It's all starting to point that way, from what I see.

No doubt latrell will spin the new found hate for him to become the victim... it’s what he does... I was over his garbage the day he posted that image on Instagram of him throwing out his roosters gear, it was unnecessary and petty and just showed how classless he is... I hope next time we face him we have our full squad and we send Jared on a mission to square things up.

Very well said, particularly your first sentence. I'll watch with interest to read some sob story which will be a pathetic attempt to deflect and mitigate.

[Bondicigar]

Souths have a situation on there hands where 1 player thinks he's bigger than the NRL let alone his own club.
That's the reason he was never going to last at the roosters, he needed a team that would allow his ego to flourish and expand...

I've been saying this for years Stringaz (hope you and your Mum are doing ok too by the way). The fact that Fletch ended up calling them a bunch of thieves at Fitzy's farewell after going to play for them and being handed the captaincy and then having to move to the UK to earn the shortfall they didn't pay him..Wingy never fulfilling his 4 year deal with them either after turning down a smaller tenure with us and then as I said last week on here, Russell Fairfax saying to me that he'll never cheer for them against us..NOTHING ever good happens by them leaving us to go to them..so stop doing it Roosters!

[Johnny Tobin]

I can't stand the Fat Bitch. Death riding him too , and all his little sycophants who embarrass themselves. This feral grub has form, kicking Garner in the face, kneeing Reece Walsh in the face .

Kicking Brimson in the face, breaking his jaw and no charge even though he did it before.

[Johnny Tobin]

Glenn Morrison has been number 1 on my shit list for decades. He just got replaced.

It’s amazing how many have him on the top of their list ~ including Ryan Cross.

[Johnny Tobin]

What a difference a week makes. Before that game any post slotting Shitrell would bring out angry argument on both sides. Now the Pen is United like I have never seen on a subject.

For mine, I am still angry at him and that won’t go away in a hurry. In the space of one game he went from no mention to number one on my most-hated player of all time list. Ennis and Toovey should send him a card.

A thoughtful and compassionate post. You're right about how young blokes need guidance - especially Indigenous young blokes who have many additional pressures on them from family and community. We kept hearing in 2019 how Latrell had all these people getting in his ear, all offering what they saw as being sound guidance. People like Anthony Mundine who is a renowned lunatic.

I'm now grappling with how to respond at our next home game with the Vermin and the crowd starts to boo him. Right now, I want to boo my head off. But to do so would raise the spectre of the racism that Adam Goodes experienced. In truth it would be to let him know what we felt about his attack on one of our favourite sons and one of his own mates, but that's what some would say.
