    Latrell is to blame. He's an adult and has to be responsible for his own actions. Such a talent on the field, a liability off it.

    Easy way to test this… go and do something stupid (or illegal) tomorrow and have a mate record it and send it to your employer. When they reply WTF, respond with “it must be your fault because you allowed me to do it” and see how far it gets you.

    When I started playing , sports in general, there was no celebration for minor game events, scoring a try , taking a wicket, scoring a century, a well done mate , and then back into it, you played for the team.
    Nowadays your portraying an attitude building a reputation… all to the aim of getting your personal slice of the pie, and unfortunately the way the publicity, the fandom , its all about greed they’ve got no time for role models showing them they way a Real Man Operates.

      What you write is true 100% , though its shows that Latrell really doesn't care. He knows a video or picture could be taken and can be uploaded to social media yet he still does what he does. Latrell shouldn't have put himself in a situation that will cause him trouble. He knows he will get away with it like he has done over and over. Like the guys in the video said ' if it was a fringe player they would have been sacked ' .

    At the end of the day LM is an adult and he is the one who makes those disgusting and idiotic decisions. The Board at Souths are complicit in as much as they turn a blind eye and make excuses for him...and the media/commentators etc are also to blame...as they are the ones who made him the 'Poster Boy' for Souths and ran titles like "Hero" and "Legend" etc etc. Sadly his massive ego thinks he can get away with anything..... Sam Burgess and a few others were pleading to be allowed to pull him into line...but the gutless men in suits let him walk.... Souths fans could see it all going pear shaped but hey we just fill the seats at games and pay yearly fee's to the club....(for now)

    • @paulgrey8028
      @paulgrey8028 19 дней назад +1

      Sam loved the Souths club big time. To let him go in favour of Mitchell is astounding. [Russell Crowe and Sam are tight. Wonder why he didn't step in?]
      Allowing Burgess to walk and sacking the coach in favour of Mitchell was astoundingly stupid [I'll never understand why clubs sack a coach mid-season. See how it worked for Souths and the Eels]
      Letting Reynolds go, a Souths junior no less, to make room for Mitchells whopping salary, was incomprehensible.
      The Souths board needs to be sacked or this sh!t will continue.

The sacking of couches mid season is the death knell of the team ....but if Sam had been there we would be cheering our team right now instead of grieving for them. Yes disappointed that Russel didn't have more clout with the Board but they are a bunch of faceless suits who think only in $$$ signs. Took a big gamble on LM and lost....or should I say our Club lost.
