@@Researchthejoosif indigenous people continue to be treated like children then what behaviour should you really respect from lattrell. He’s an adult and a role model and a man.
Have you thought about it from this angle. How many young blokes go out on a weekend and cut loose, drink too much, do what Latrell is doing here. I know it's the same old narrative that he's a role model to kids, he's a professional athlete and he needs to be held to different standards, right? That photo appears to be in a private setting away from the public eye. You're kidding yourself that you don't think other players are mucking up behind closed doors. It's just Latrell with his polarising personality, people are looking to take him down any way possible. His on-field attitude, ego and control of his aggression is poor. But I think it's poorer from the person that leaked that photo to media, purposely with the intention to hurt Latrell's career. Don't swallow up media all the time, think for yourself as a person about just another person.
@@mildogslad He chooses who to hang out with these people and those things. You're right he has a right to his personal life but if he chooses better people to hang out with they wouldn't be taking pics to advance themselves. Choose better friends
@@adambudden2533 you've got to trust people at some point, just because they're public figures doesn't mean they don't fall for the same temptations as the next man. They're also league boys, they're never going to be upstanding citzens
Come on. Did i hear him say Mitchell was in Dubbo at a children day. Yeah he is such an inspiration to kids . 😂. What a joke. Way overrated and way over paid.
In 50 yrs, ive never seen a player do more intentional physical damage to other players, to his own club, game and his people, all round disgrace, get rid of him
Last time he was in regional towns for Aboriginal communites to see children, he showed his face for 5mins then got drunk and a week later at the Dally M Awards he got an award for helping communites for 5 mins. Joke.
I’m Latrells biggest fan and I can’t believe I’m about to say this but I 100% agree with Gus. They’ve let it go too long he thinks he’s bigger than the game, could win 3 comps under Wayne it’ll only make it worse when Wayne goes.
Critter has grown as a player and a man year after year. He has become a leader and the best centre in the game. Latrell in many ways has had the opposite trajectory.
@@petershaw6346 religion is not just believing the effect of the universe has a cause, which logically is God. Religion is a system of beliefs. Believing 0+0=1 is a religion. Being ignorant of truth is a religion. Believing in yourself is a religion. Everyone has some sort of belief system which is shown by their fruit. Of course, God has given us intelligence and our consciences bear witness that we know what is good and evil, yet man still hates God and doesn’t seek Him, which ultimately proves the Bible true. We love our own, but hate God. No one is a good person for we still reap what we sow. The wages of righteousness is life. The wages of sin is death. People go to jail because they do wrong. But sometimes the court of law is unjust. We know this. But the Holy Creator of the universe is not unjust that humanity has the death sentence for no reason. Indeed the fact that God has delayed justice and we live 80 years is merciful although we still cringe at the fact of our sins in the light of a transcendent God. You see, if you ever wanted to know if a religion is from God, then you test it. We know God is perfect and just. We know God is love. But how can a merciful loving God who also has pure hatred for evil, pardon sin without there being justice? Can we bribe God with good things we have done? We know that a timeless being created time, and God’s justice is eternal. If we have seen a dead body we know there soul has left them, where does the soul go once it leaves the flesh? Be wise brother. The only answer to how God is merciful to us yet still remains just is found in the One was undeniably prophesied by the prophets (Isa. 7:14, 53:5), who was eyewitnessed and historically recorded in fulfillment of those prophecies, and who is still witnessed by all who believe in Him. I write this as witness and no doubt me and this message of good news is hated, for Jesus said so. “In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” 1 John 4:10
If I was the coach I wouldn't want Latrell. Its a team of champions on the bottom of the heap. My bet is Latrell's lack of discipline, and the lack of being disciplined, is the root cause of their underperformance.
@@jeremyjazwinski6349 Statistically, per head of population Australia is the biggest consumer of Cocaine in the developed world. No surprises its use is rampant in the NRL.
Latrell is a joke at this point and pathetic people claim it’s racism to hold him accountable. As a broncos fan at this point cobbo is on the same road, he can either take after Inglis and meninga and become a leader of men and an elite footballer, or he can take after latrell Mitchell or Todd carney and be an ultra talented but burdensome to his team potentially lose his career and have nothing in life. Dugan and Ferguson, Brett Seymour, super talented clowns are a dime a dozen and it always starts with special treatment at school then by the club. Some times it works out Alfie and Joey spring to mind, but those guys never underperformed on the field no matter what.
Yes, and eventually diagnosed with bipolar, and since being on medication for that, hasn't put a foot wrong in his private life! Educate yourself!!!@@dubbkenobby6542
@@R-uh8skhe said the broncos wouldn’t win the gf and everyone laughed. He created the bulldogs success and penriths success and most successful nsw coach in history .. I thjnn he’s right . Latrell to privileged .
A teams only as strong as it’s weakest link and when it comes to commitment Latrell is the weakest link at south’s. He put on chub to bulk up and years later we’re still waiting for him to bulk up and drop the fat😂
Latrell the superstar. What a laugh. All he's ever done is catch a ball near the line and fall over it then go missing for the other 79 minutes ?! Or play 10 to 15 games then go on a holiday for the rest of the season. Then there is the regular absolute grub acts he pulls every second game follwed by a 10 minute bludge off the field. Let him go. For him it's money for nothing and the drugs for free. He's no superstar that's just media hype. Football wise the likes of DCE and Nathan Cleary are superstars, but Latrell Mitchell will remain a nobody. I agree with the panel it's been his choice and the club has let him do whatever he likes.
Give the bloke a break. He's played 11 games in 2024 and 16 last year. AND he plays 15 minutes a game too. First thing Wayne should say to him is "pull your finger out or eff off".
Does anyone remember James Roberts? "Self imposed booze ban...." In the meantime, they are keep, uplifting, and allowing Latrell to be the face of the indigenous community while he acts like a spoilt brat. Since joining Souths, he is yet to complete a full season due to injury or suspension...... biggest waste of a contract ever
@@BigAl53750I heard there’s a general code of conduct set by the NRL which is part of all contracts, but judging by players behaviour it seems to mean absolutely nothing. Individual caveats made with the clubs generally seem to benefit the players (eg. allowing them to leave their contract early etc)
Thank you Paul Gallen ...Sick of people seeing him as a 'victim' & talking about him like he's a teenager ...He's a married man with kids & closer to 30 than 20. He is all about himself....no amount throwing the ball around with kids (along with his camera crew) can make him a 'good role model' He's been forgiven one too many times for his lack of fitness, ugly behaviour & his huge ego that see's him suspended etc. I would love to know just how many games he has played this year?? As the highest paid player it's a disgrace. When the stupid board couldn't find one more year for Damien Cook, a player who gives his all & steps up when needed & is loved by 'all souths fans' I'm so over LM....
Lateral always has something to say or make an accusation but complete silence now from lateral. Expecting his club to accept some apology and get away with it again. No doubt his treated special. Just a big sook
The souths board are spineless. They are only disciplining Mitchell now because they know Bennett will get him in line. If a coach like Demetriou was still in charge the club would still pander to Mitchell.
Imagine a club needing to hire a specialized coach to have a million dollar play to the standards they signed him for and keep him accountable. Any other player they’d be sacked already Souths getting angry at Latrell Mitchell is like someone not toilet training their dog and then yelling at it for a pissing on the floor. They’ve let him get away with murder since he signed. Every time he’s suspended he just goes away and does his own thing which he’s publicly said that he enjoys more than footy. Souths should have him sweeping the floors after training
He's a black top tier player in the game therefore gets special treatment in the woke times we live in today. Simple as that. 1 game suspension & 20k fine MORE than spells that out if you avg it out to penalties other players have been given for drugs. Just another reason on the already long list of reasons why fans are slowly turning away from the game..
Latrell holds others to higher standards than himself. And tells us he is a role model to "his people". That's no role model! What teaching kids it's ok to do drugs?!!
Because someone snapped a sneaky pic of him off the clock in his own time hes not a role model? Hes aloud to do what ever he wants in his own time, he picked the 1 drug that is in and out of your system in a snap of the fingers, unfortunate that the photo was taken but i wouldnt be scholding him over a photo he had no control of. Yes its frowned apon to do coke but his body his choice he isnt playing rn and as long as it isnt steroids who tf cares 🤣
I would say the nrl has a very big cocaine problem nearly every year somebody gets caught in the nrl doing coke you know there's a problem when the youngest guy in the nrl (walsh) gets caught doing it especially so soon in his career
Look at how Munster and Papenhuyzen came back from injury. Physio twice a day. Workouts every day. Pain every day. No boozing or partying. Total mental and physical dedication with no promise of recovery. Instead the NRL wants us to believe Mitchell is a role model.
@@user-zb6xv6tz9i Totally agree and he learnt from it. Coke is totally pervasive and I don’t care other than for the long term effects on young players. The real issue is the hypocrisy and victim mentality of Mitchell, and the fact that his years of special treatment are the antithesis of team sport.
Stop painting him as a victim and giving him excuses he's been treated as the golden child his entire career and this is inexcusable doesn't matter who it is, the hammer has to come down or he'll get away with it and more and more players will find this behaviour acceptable.
I hate to say it but Gus is 100% Correct at the end of the day Latrell is a grown man who is set in his way it doesn't matter who comes to the club unless Latrell gives 100% to South's this sort of thing is bound to pop up. We all have bad days however as a professional sportsman you need to be accountable for your actions 100% of the time not 80% and i dont have to play as im injured so ill go and party thats very poor discipline. It is what it is.
@@kenjones6441 I'm not saying he shouldn't be accountable for his behaviour, but his club has separate rules for him and don't truly punish him for his actions. A lesser player would have been punted by now
Give the bloke a break. He's played 11 games in 2024 and 16 last year. AND he plays 15 minutes a game too. First thing Wayne should say to him is "pull your finger out or eff off".
I hate to say it but Gus is absolutely right. If Souths management had the guts to stand up to Latrell they would have by now, he should have been sacked a year ago
Gus and Gal are 100% correct on what they said happens with Latrell Mitchell. He's been let get away with his indiscretions for too long. He's been a protected species for too long. South Sydney Rabbitohs are for some reason too scared to come down hard on him. Nothing wrong with tough love. If Souths got on top of this ten years ago when Phil Gould first said about if they keep letting latrell get away with it, then we wouldn't be having these conversations about Latrell Mitchell and his continuous minor indiscretions. He's a talented player don't get me wrong but as Gus and Gal rightly pointed out, he hasn't been disciplined the way he should have been from the start and now it's a ongoing thing unfortunately. Ill disciplined players don't deserve special treatment let alone any player in the NRL regardless of who they are. Latrell Mitchell needs to pull his head in otherwise he'll ruin his career and reputation.
Totally agree with Gus & Gal. The Roosters got rid of him for the same reasons, he will always be a "victim" & when football is over him the downward spiral will gain even more mometum
The reason why Souths and the NRL have not come down hard on him for his outrageous behaviour is because they know that he'll walk away from the game [now that he has a farm and lots of $$$ in the bank] and do a Mundine crying racism.
I agree will Gal, but I also think the NRL is partly to blame, because they tolerate his grubby plays (like his head shot on the BACK of Reece Walsh’s head in Origin II) Joe Suaali gets sent off in Origin I and that was NOT deliberate! Mitchell lined Walsh, then when Walsh has gottne rid of the ball and turned his back, Mitchell STILL leaves his feet and smashes the back of Walsh’s head with his shoulder and what happened to the Ref’s whistle? He musta swallowed it, but Mitchell didn’t get sent off, didn’t get a four week suspension, didn’t even get a criticism in the PRESS! So, it’s not just South Sydney who are allowing this grubby behaviour, it’s the whole damn NRL.
What's this race card you speak of? And how do you use it? Would love to know cos it just seems to be a word people throw out there without any actual evidence to back up this notion that Latrell bring Aboriginal gets him what exactly?? Sounds to me like it's something along the lines of white privilege? 😂😂😂
@@andee0087 Yep exactly. All pointless vernacular, no facts to back up there words. Like someone claiming to be a millionaire with 20 cents to their name 😂😂😂
At some point in time South Sydney needs to have a really good look at Latrell Mitchell, and make a decision if he is really worth the problems he creates.
If Latrell wasn't Aboriginal would clubs tolerate these continual actions? I'm not trying to play the race card but the game seems to be on egg shells whenever it comes to Latrell and it's simply because they don't want to be portrayed as "racist". He's not far off 30 years and has been in the game for a good length of time, it's absolute insanity to sit there and say "I need Wayne to control me". He needs to pull his head in and the game/media need to actually call him out for the BS lile Gus has done for some time now.
This guy would not have lasted a season at melbourne storm, over weight dose the least amount of work he can get away with in games on the track, total liability to the rabbits, unprofessional in every way, a child, get rid of him!
How does he get away with one week? Anyone else in a similar situation has copped huge bans. Any drug testing done? Or is latrell untouchable as always?
People in the comments waffling on about race obviously have ulterior motives. This has nothing to do with race at all it's bad behaviour being called out. Gus & Gal didn't pull any punches here and I support their view.
I really wanna like the guy, but he just comes across as the Logan Paul of NRL - a total knob.. He's been a grub since day 1 on the field, I am truly amazed to see him last this long in the sport. Hope the guy gets his sh!t together hey..
Kick him out of the rugby league this is why Souths have gone so bad this year because he gets away with everything and the rest of the players have had enough and I am not even a souths supporter
Latrell won two comps at the Roosters and played nearly every game while he was there. Gould's comments don't hold water. He's lost his way since joining souffs.
