Latrell has been protected all his career. Anyone who called out his behaviour was called racist. Now these people that have protected him, are starting to get sick of the fact that the guy who’s faced no repercussions hasn’t learned his lesson.

Latrell has been the same ever since he played in the lower grades. He used to constantly bully the smaller guys, use his forearms, knees, etc and it’s all on the internet to watch. Robbo was starting to discipline him at the roosters hence the massive fallout. Wayne had him under control with his fitness and a good life/footy balance but JD has just let him do whatever he wants and their downfalls shows it. He also persuaded JD to get his best mate Jack Wighton there when they should have went to the market to find a few front rowers. Jacks a world class player but he needs the #6 jersey. They literally have no speed on the edges. Trell should have been shifted to the centres and kept Blake Taaffe to play fullback. Tbh i’d love to see the Broncos sign Ilias for the 2026 season post Reynolds era, he’s got a lot of potential under a good coach and supportive team. They’ve blamed him for everything over the past 6 months when in fact it’s Cody and Trell not pulling their weight with a sub par forward pack giving him nothing to work with.

Sam was right no one player or players that doesn’t give 100% each game and training session needs to be disciplined and dropped to NSW cup for team morale and discipline this has been happening since last year Coaches need to have control of their players with some respect like Bellamy and Bennett do or the players will walk all over you and you lose the Coaching job they don’t lose their job playing until the next coach rips into them and puts them on notice
I hate comments like "I'm not in a position to bag a footballer because I never played the game" you don't have to play to know that players like Latrell are a huge liability. If you watch it you can see it. Stop defending this clown. It's so obvious that he's the main problem.
@troystaunton254
3 ай бұрын
Exactly. You don’t have to have played to recognise good play from bad play. A physical ability to play isn’t the same as a mental one. Terry lam, Wally Lewis and Allan langer are some of the greatest players ever, they can’t coach because the mental side isn’t there. Trent Robinson and Craig Bellamy were absolutely trash players, they’re excellent coaches. If the defining characteristics of a valid opinion is that you have to have played, than by default Cameron smith is the only man with a correct opinion because no one played more than him.

Gus forever the Nostradamus. I'm surprised he didn't pick this poor run of form early in 1983. He is just too good 🤣
When the going gets tough latrell gets going
OMG, where do we start with the inconsistencies in refs calls and interpretations in the so called 'greatest league competition in the world'. Forward passes, high shots, obstructions, bunker calls that are all open for different interpretation and inconsistent calls which ultimately effect the outcome of games. The NRL need to fix this mess.
Latrell Mitchell is a gift to the rugby league media/industrial complex. They need to generate content. I watch 360 and the last two days 60% is about souths, 30 parra and the other 10 yelling over each other.
Latrel doesn't put footy a top priority. Coz he's IG bio says " Full time Farmer, Part time Rugby Player " 👀🙄 So you can just see by the way he's playing.
Latrell holding the team to ransom! He should be holding the club. He has to go!
Mitchell just wants the money and no the work.
4:24 Gus is correct, Footy is a game made up of more than 1 player, working togather as a Team produces results. The ultimate goal is to win, and you win as a unit.
Like a lot of people who played A grade rugby league, there were plenty of people I played with who had the talent to play first grade. Very, very few did. It all come down to commitment and sacrifice to be the fittest and be willing to go the extra yard. If you didn’t that was fine, you enjoyed playing A grade and hopefully ended your time with a premiership. Many didn’t, but kept on playing nonetheless. Latrell Mitchell to me, is a talented A grader now, if he still loves playing the game, go back to playing park football cause he is no longer a first grade footballer. Sad but true.
If the players do not have the coaches back, that will show on field with their performances , the coach can only do so much off the field, it is up to the players to implement that on the field, maybe move some players on as the air around the situation is becoming stagnant

I’m a Latrell fan and I can say that his attitude and ego is just not one what so ever and that even I’m starting to grow weary of it, he needs to have a real reality check, as far as “no love for the game” I think that’s a bit too far, I think he has love for it but no love for his teammates and club, he’s been gifted opportunity after opportunity and has shown very little gratitude, like Gus said last week or the week before he demands alot of respect but doesn’t give any in return. If he keeps this up he’ll be gone quicker than you think

The Latrell cheer squad keeps singing his praises. He is actually not a consistent match winner and never has been. He is vastly over-rated. You cannot compare his performances under pressure to someone like a Cleary or a Tedesco or an Edwards etc. Players like Mitchell do not understand that they are employees - they think they are business owners. Well, if you have the courage of your convictions leave NRL, convince people to fund a new system of football in which you can elbow people in face and get paid for it.

You can have all the natural talent in the world, but if you can't care or focus on what your doing then there is simply no point
I do somewhat agree Gus BUT when you're leading the comp half way through and things start to go bad it's the coaches job to be on top of it and stop the rot immediately but he didn't do that and in fact double downed on it publicly concerning the behaviour and preferential treatment of "certain" players as Sam so rightly pointed out. And it's not like that's the only glaring issue- dropping Illias, KK moved to the other side then there's the madness of letting Taffie go after never giving him a shot at 7 when he played that position in the juniors..
Wayne Bennett & Sam burgees a great coaching combination
Cleary got 5 weeks for a lifting tackle.
Discipline is the quality of being able to behave and work in a controlled way which involves obeying particular rules or standards every nrl player needs discipline for his team to succeed, latrell has never been given this even under wayne bennett u can have respect but u need to reciprocate respect to urself and those around u, latrell's actions shows he has no respect for his team or for rugby league, playing nrl is just a way for him to financially support what he wants to do, how may people in the world do that plenty, working at jobs they dislike just so can live their lives, latrell looks like he never wanted to be the star of the show, the trouble is the public and the media want him to be the star of the show
Boy that escalated quickly.
Only my opinion but I think Trell threw the elbow intentionally, hoping to get suspended so he can’t be held responsible for the team losing as he’s not playing. There’s no way he can play Origin.

He heard the cows calling him. Get back on the tractor Trell,that’s where you’re happiest. Three game ban gives him a month off to repair stuff around the farm. Intentional.

@@mikediao15crighton is solid defensively, turns up for his mates, same as whighton whenever he played centre for NSW. Solid, defends well and takes those tough carries, doesn’t hide at dummy half

@@joewrigley399 hahahah defense don’t win you origin mate. Latrell is a great defender. There’s clear issue in that south team where he’s the guy goes through and Latrell is left on 2 on one situation. Kid can’t even tackle with media calling for his head. Thins that Teddy get away with, Latrell can’t.

@@mikediao15 Stephen Crichton is better than Latrell, I wouldn’t pick Cook either. Murray is definitely in.
Rugby league pays his bills. He’ll need to work it out. A lot of pressure on him. But a lot of it he is bringing on himself. Makes you wonder who’s giving him advice or is this just who he is. For me, I don’t think he’s equipped to deal with what he’s going through.
I agree with Gus. For years I've said 'it depends which Latrell turns up'. At his best I love to see him play, but at his worse....... And at the moment I want to see him gone from the game completely. And I think his team mates think the same. I think Latrell is the root cause of the Bunny's low morale, and its the low morale that is bringing low results. They are a team of champions but they are not playing as a champion team.
There's way too much focus on how bad the bunnies are playing and not enough on how good their opposition is
LM is a protected species for all the obvious and colourful reasons, inside and outside the game. He's got a major forrest on his shoulder.
This is the problem! Just last week Gus was ripping Latrell a new one and now it's all coddling and care....it happens all the time no wonder Latrell thinks he's untouchable
“… all those nights kicking goals at the local park…” - Gus Gould
Guss is spitting facts
I think Gus is absolutely correct in everything he said. I don't often agree with Gus but he's right on this one. As he said, if that was Victor Radley who elbowed SJ, he'd be out for 3 months and Latrell is as big a grub as anyone is League. He is protected and anyone who criticises him is labelled racist, total horseshit.
Latrell does not need help, he has had plenty , he needs to deal with the consequences of his actions, lots of us have had to, at about 18 / 20 years old, screw up once ok, screw up time & time again? You’re on ya own, start helping yourself, everyone around has nothing else to give. Grow up Latrell, got the world at your feet, start respecting where you sit in the world of responsibility.
Demitriou, latrell, and Cody walker are south's anchors that hold them down. 1 fouritises 2 sooks.
South's have won 5 games since round 11... there has to be a change in the coaching

What more can JD do? Is he the one out there missing tackles and poor defensive skills? He clearly wants to drop certain players but is most likely under the pump to keep flogs like LM on the field no matter the performance standards
3 weeks for the elbow. What a joke the judiciary is
Gus is so cool! Almost like me.
I hate to agree with Gus on general principle, but he's 100% right here
Go walkabout ! Oh you already do that during the game.
The protected boy of the nrl. doesn't make the nrl look good
The problem isn’t Latrell the problem is people had a vision for Latrell to be the next GI
He’s got 55 percent win rate , you can’t just sack him ?
I disagree about Wayne not going to Rabbitohs. His time is up this season with the Phins, and he wants to keep coaching.
Souths are far from being a team….too many individuals who don’t seem to care. Drop them down a grade to straighten up.
Grub
Does Cody Walker play a part in all of this? Mitchell always going to be an issue but would he be as lazy or degenerate at a club like Melbourne? Don't think so. Meanwhile, playing next to Walker who can't stand it when he's losing & sinks to some really grubby play sometimes, Latrell is unaware or unconcerned about delivering on higher expectations.
