Burgess SACKED as Russell Crowe gets involved in Souths implosion! | NRL 360 | Fox League 

Sacking a club legend because he calls players lazy😂 keep imploding Rabbitohs it’s entertaining for the rest of us!

Sam basically wanted to hold Latrell accountable. Yet, because he’s the ‘superstar’ as JD says they’re not allowed to have strong conversations with him. All you have to do is look at the bloke and know he’s taking the piss. The blokes skin folds would be on par with Hindy this day and age.

Good on Sam for speaking his mind

Too many walkabouts to the food court for Latrell Schnitzel.

Time to stop defending latrell, he's not fit, he's been carrying a gut for years, if he was serious he'd knuckle down and get his body in shape

So basically, Sam calls out the golden boy Latrell's laziness. The club responds by axing Sam. Keep on defending Latrell see where it gets you 😂😂😂

the person who should be sacked is MITCHELL laziest and overpaid player in nrl

Started with Reynolds 2 years ago, who's the knob jockey making these decisions 🤔

mitchell is only concerned about himself and no one else if the team is loosing he will just watch the rest of the game on the field..

Mitchell's the most overrated player in the NRL

South’s will regret this move

Poor sammy. Now you know how luke keary felt when he tried to stand up for himself after rusty put him on show in front of the playing group and you didnt back him up. Should've went with wayne to the dolphins atleast their best players have a dig every week.

What about Kent? What’s the latest Braith? *crickets*

Boys club. Sam wasn't part of it. Mutiny.

cannot wait for Jam to invite him asap on his podcast , so we can hear Sam's version of the story

Not a Bunnies fan, but Burgess was the best thing to happen to Souffs in a long time. He was the embodiment of leadership. Its no wonder he wants to instill that into the current playing group and has little time for players who aren't toeing the line. Souths falling out with him, while defending the well known discipline issues Mitchell has often displayed is not a good sign for their club.

Haha Latrell Is A Marquee Player That Can Deliver A Premiership For Us 😂. The Only Thing Latrell Will Do Is Be Suspended Before A Game That Predicts The Top 8 So No Blame Falls On His Lazyiness

Latrell is not a full back. He is not worth the money he is on in that position. There's a reason the Roosters wouldn't pay him that money or play him there.

Sam burgess is to the bunnies the equal of what Gordon tallis was for the the broncos and qld..a warrior that would battle for victory...nothing else mattered..go the bunnies...

Latrell is a full time farmer and part time footy player Happily admits it himself

Letting Reynolds walk and now Burgess leaving the coaching staff just goes to show there’s big issues going on and it’s only going to get worse when Wighton arrives next year. It’ll be Trell, Cody and Wighton trying to run the show

Good news for us at Warrington that Sam can do some work earlier. That time is required.

Rabbitohs won't make it

so much BS coming out of management, to justify Sam's "departure"

cant have slackers in a team ,especially when its two supposed origin stars , sets a poor precedent

Bring Michael McGuire back as head coach, JD ain’t making it happen drop him to assistant coach

Why not sack Latrell? He is the real problem at south oh right because he would cry racism

I give up on this club. First Reynolds and now big Sam. Absolutely filthy.

Players with poor attitudes start the rot and it spreads like wildfire within the team. Look at the Broncos...they had a "rat pack" within the playing group. Walters doesn't put up with any s#17 and moved them on 18months later they have gone from the bottom of the pack to the penthouse. (Buying Reynolds may have helped a bit too.) 😜 Sam looks like the only one to call it out at Souths and was rewarded for his stance. Pathetic.

So all the travel and living out of each others pockets is no good for the Rabbitohs but it was ok for the warriors for the last two years .

We all know what this is and if we hold those 2 to the same standards you will be called a racist.

Considering a retired Sam Burgess has a more defined muscular physique than Cody Walker and 'Trell Mitchell combined, JD's "standards" must be pretty low. If a club legend, who is now an assistant coach can't speak their mind then good luck to Souths...

For God's sake Souths sacked premiership winner to appease Mr Mitchell ,and Mr Walker are you KIDDING me for over 59 years following Souths and you do this.Yhen on top of this you signed Jack Wighton WHY .Opinion signed to keep LATRELL and Cody happy 😊😊 Because ever since they signed Jack the team has failed. Hoops stop calling Latrell a Superstar he's not the amount of games he has missed over the 3years is beyond belief cost premiership and what's done science

Sack coach

SACK LATRELL!!!!!!!!!

Comparing Trell's "leadership" to Sam's? Sam was always for the team first. I don't even follow Souths closely but that much was obvious to everyone who loves the game.

All the best for Sam Burgess over seas and I hope he would become a great coach and show to these rabbits down here that hard work makes a great footy team.

Sam Burgess would of been pushed out!!!

Journalist have one moto … never let the truth get in the way of a good story, especially if it gets them ratings and viewers.

JD and BS both of you need to resign LATRELL has had that much time of over the last 3 season's he should give Souths a huge discount on future signings .as for the rest of the playing group GROW UP and earn the money 🤑🤑 you are paid Sam Burgess tried to install a professional attitude and you totally let him down 2025 m/ b

Mitchell isn't leader, he's a maverick. He needs an experienced leadership group to pull him in into line...like the Roosters did. He has so much to give but he needs to be kept on a tight leash. And he's not a fullback either. He's too fucking lazy.

Sad times ahead for our club, maybe bring back Madge, he will sort it out and won't take no nonsense

Latrell is an oaf.

Problem is latrell gets put on a pedestal pretty sure when latrel came back jd said it’s time to get the Ferrari out . But when you look at latrell at fullback he’s always been lazy and highly overrated . Latrell makes a living feeding off all the good work Walker does and gets all the credit for it . The media are scared to say anything bad about he’s games because he plays the race card but he’s also signed with fox for 5 years

Some of the dog-act’s Mitchell has gotten away with Joey Manu for example, he only got suspended because of the media outcry the cheap shot against Newcastle at the weekend he thinks he is the NRL.

Latrell trading on a Souths rep earned by Sam and others.

Bunnies coach deadset likened fatrell to Sam Burgess... I'm done.. 😂😂😂

It's nice to have the pressure off of the Wests Tigers for a change. 😊🐯

Mitchell’s underperformed badly and I don’t doubt he’s treated with kid gloves, special rules for one player. Sam’s done the right thing by speaking out.

Well...the change in stats from the 1st half of the year show how big the issues must be.

Good for Sam, speaking up on his concerns. Whatever happens from here, the Bunnies obviously have a lot of things to sort out.

Jason lost me when basically said Illas was better or going to be better then Reyonlds that was funny

Ya got a racial, tribal, unequal environment at Souffs. That’s it!!!??

It sounds like Sam spoke his mind and they didn’t like it. Sam sets high standards. JD hasn’t changed anything and their form has slipped.

Bring back the old days of standard and acceptance of years past, these players would quit cause they would not have the guts or strength to achieve the goals they aim for

Sam is taking one for the team, as he does, he will go to England and be head coach for a year or maybe two. In a year maybe two he will come back and coach Souths.

if Latrell is such a hard worker it should translate to the field. a team is only as strong as it's weakest link.

So Latrelle's standards are now the Rabbithos standard's, says the coach. No wondor Burgess had enough.

If the Rabbitoh's really read all the comments on here, they would dump Mitchell now, what on earth do you see in Fatso !!

How can Souths and Crowe say Burgess wasn’t putting the club first? Do they just want him to be a “yes” man?

If Mitchell is the standards we're in for years of pain because his effort is piss poor simple as that

You don't give your best player a free pass on standards, Eels done it for a decade with Hayne and Parramatta made the finals two out of 10 years.

The most over-rated player in this South Sydney side is Latrell Mitchell !! He was 5 years ago playing at a much higher standard but perhaps an accumulation of injuries, Marijuana use and too much money have destroyed the Match winning attitude you need to be successful in a long 26 rounds season!! Jason Demitriou's coaching is unimaginative with strategies in attack that keep on failing again and again !! The team needs revamping and talent needs to be sought or poached from other clubs or other codes.

This show is actually half bearable with out Buzz and Kent

Let's get the logic of this straight. According the journalistic "insights", Sam was worried abiut x,y and z being things that clearly Jason would also be concerned about eg lack of effort etc. So where is the basis for the rift? I just don't get it.

1:27 camera angle just shows.. all the boys were looking up to sammy..

Latrell has a major chip on his shoulder

There's a reason the Souffs emblem is a black rabbit.

There is no way Sam Burgess is not putting Souths First, anyone who watches footy knows that Sam Burgess is the Rabbitohs

Sam wants higher standards for the better of the club, let’s get rid of him is the answer! Poor however back in 15 months as coach

Roosters game will tell the story

Demetriou keeps talking about Latrell as marquee player. At the moment, Mitchell is NOT up to 1st grade standard. He's bringing down the team morale as he is simply not performing as been the case last 4-6 weeks. BRING MADGE BACK.

Sam just tells it as it is, I remember the backstabbing he got in Union when he told some home truths about some coaches and players.

Bring back Ziggy niscot 😅

Comparing Sam and trell it doesn’t compare Sam put his body on the line where trell only wants the best for himself and isn’t a team player south’s should be ashamed getting rid of a club legend who lives and breathes south’s

Seems like Sam Burgess is who South’s need as head coach

"latrell leads the standards" that explains a lot

Absolutely wild they would rather Burgess walk than address the issues they have with Latrell. Talk about poorly managed 😂 latrell is NOT a superstar, he is not a FB, just look at him for a second and tell me if he looks like an athlete🫃😂

The coaches run the team not the players

So Sam and a board member went into a separate board room and called Russell? Hooper knows what end result was. So either Sam has spilt the beans or the board member has. If South’s position is that there is no problem, then questions need to be asked because it contradicts everything they are saying.

Seems like Latrell didn’t like being pulled up by Sam

U s/s just lost my member 4 ever all of my s/s close gone in red bin

Souffs are gone

Same club that let Reyno go

Underachievers rewarded SAM called them out and he gets shafted .Sorry Russell but Sam Burgess is right . I know he's going to England to coach but he should be able to Finnish in the way he deserved . Looks like last people are protected and you want us to be loyal . I will only be loyal to SAM BURGESS. Because he was loyal to SOUTH'S unlike some current players.

I called this happening. You watch 1 or more people want to leave and will leave.

You should be harder on your best players, not go easy on them.

Lost taffe to ,put him in halfback

Sam devoted his career for the betterment of Souths

Goes to show that Sam was right … Demetriou is full of himself and Mitchell either needs to get inline or get out

Up the wahs

I new all a long the way playing sun thing wrong make him play in centers michell too see how boss jd couch gong /sacked

Sam spoke the truth👍👍👍, club couldn't handle it👎👎👎, using the birth of his child as a reason to leave shame on you lot, chugs beer on Wednesday and comes to training on Thursday FFS🤦

Unfortunately sometimes good teams don't always win premierships. I speak as a frustrated West's Tigers supporter. We could have won 2009 and 2011. Did not happen. Look at how the club has struggled since. Bunnies need to be careful.

100% it was Sam Burgess that was the leaker to Hooper about Latrell and Walker. 3 people in the room for the call (Burgess, board member and Crowe) and yet Hooper knows all the details of the call.

From an outsider looking in, Souths need to make the semi's otherwise Sammy boy and Morris wont be the only ones walking the plank.

Brent Read got demoted for his awful insights last night 😂

James Hooper must be like Alex Mack where he can turn into liquid and sneak into rooms etc.

Latrell and Cody are STILL running the club.

Someone heard allegedly Crowe and a few others agree at a dinner table that Trell and Walker were the two biggest thorns in their team and if it wasn't for the coach they would be gone...
