Mitchell gets suspension decision reversed

[Rooster1908]

Odds are now available on LM’s next suspension :
Forearm or elbow to the head - $2
Shoulder charge to the head - $2.50
Kick player or lash out with the boot - $3
Head high tackle -$5
Knees in the back - $7
Other illegal tackle / incident $11

I will have a quick $100 on kick a player . Has form

[roosterproud]

so does that mean that the laughing stocks charity shield game will count as well.

[roosterproud]

I just had a thought. is this a form of racial bias from the NRL. Lets say if a player with a non indigenous or islander back ground was to appeal their suspension and was not allowed to include a this game as an included game in their suspension. it now gives the advantage to these two teams to rort they rules and use it as a suspension whether or not the player would have been picked to play in the game or not

Meh he missed the big dance which cost them a serious shot at the premiership so I'm not too bummed. I personally think exhibition games shouldn't count but I know that being indigenous means a lot to Latrell so I'm not against this one per se as I think it's a lesson learned.

Does he need to change his game big time? Not really IMO. It was one dog shot and I doubt he'll be doing it again any time soon.

Once a dog always a dog. Last season alone we had the high shot on Nofaluma, the kick to the face of Garner, and the Manu attack. He is a dog to the core.

I think Slater / Fittler need to pick any suspended player for SOO (expect fatrell). This will count as a game.
ie:

Radley
Ben Thomas
Billy smith..............................

Elbowed Nofa in the head as well.

Read the SMH piece which I think expanded on the Weidler interview, latrell pumps his tyres the whole way through. What a prat

Latrell is certainly doubling down on his assertion that he should not have faced any consequences for his tackle. He's basically come out and said the game has gone soft and that the MRC was misled by the media reports of the incident. He's the victim.

Not that soft, rubbed out of the GF and probably cost his side a premiership,
As talented as he is, nowhere to hide next time round.

But we all loved him when he was our dog.

WOLF WOLF!!

When he gets old and even fatter he’ll be playing in the forwards.

jeez young latrell has upset a few around these parts....

It's Rule 101 from the playbook Latrell has always used. No matter what YOU do, blame someone else and take no responsibility for your actions. Show no respect to those you've impacted. Wherever possible play the race card. Be the victim at any cost.

What a farce that he can use the all stars game to count for a week of his suspension. The game goes tough on high shots and players are going to the bin and getting sent off for relatively innocuous tackles. Vlandys says high shots have no place in the game and will be rubbed out. Then in a case where a terrible injury is caused to a player from his shockingly bad dog shot tackle, where Joey has a smashed face and is in hospital for days, these weak as piss politically correct freaks let the bastard count the all stars game as part of his suspension. There shouldn't even be an avenue for him to request such a ridiculous let off. Serve your time you dog shot merchant. And then they say yes? Fark me dead. Just unbelievable.

That's the understatement of the year.

Didn’t Radley get a game reduction by using the example that he would of been selected in the state of origin team last year? I think they said it was used as a precedent for Latrells case.

not sure of official rules, but I’m sure players have had trials games included in part of their suspension, and I think the charity shield has also been included beforehand, I see no issue with it.

As 6 mentioned earlier, he will probably do something silly in rd 2, and be suspended for our game anyway.

They're currently investigating whether to punish him for his comments about that Souffs/Dragons game (publicly sledged the disciplinary system or something).

Coulda already copped another week before the season's started lolz
