Wow Latrell in massive trouble.

LOL Souffs have gone to sh*t ever since lateral came back. Over rated log.

I must be the only Silvertails member tipping the Eagles tommorow

How good was the paps sin binning.
From their challenge lol.

God bless you TJ. You're obviously too young to be a cynic.

 

[Eagle 1]

Latrine is just a thug, that was garbage

Didn't run the ball at all, just took the 5th tackle kicks, with 3 going over the dead ball line. Just another lazy game from Latrell tonight.

 

[The Insomniac]

Yes he's a real problem child for them. Plays well about 1 in 10 games. Out injured or suspended mostly. Thought Uncle Wayne would have his measure. Perhaps not. His magic doesn't seem to be working on " The Shoe " either.

The fallout from the Latrell tackle will be interesting, as some commentators have pointed out the storm player was falling.

But we've heard that regardless of what the ball carrier is doing, it's up to the tackler not to hit the head, also
the storm player had already passed the ball and the nrl (I think) have wanted to protect players especially in that 'has just passed the ball' situation, and
if being dazed is not a good enough reason to be found not guilty of tackle indiscretions (sipley), then a player falling should not be a reason for a free hit to the head and no suspension/fine either.

Suaalli got 4 wks for the hit on Walsh in that Origin, similarish from memory in a way 🤷🏻‍♂️
And I imagine TrellyBelly has a much worse rapsheet.

There was plenty of force.
Unfortunately with Latrell suspended, Tommy will no doubt be selected for SOO.

Maybe it's time the dumb fu*ks in the nrl started looking at attackers with bumpers up. The Klemmer deliberate elbow to Jake last week which took him out , nothing said. Angus yesterday running and virtually punching faces nothing said. It's goes both ways.

I think Angus actually got a penalty or six again for ruck infringement when he continuously assaulted the player trying to tackle him.

 

[Wombat Junior]

Latrell got one week.

 

[Rafferty]

Latrell got one week.

Under the circumstances, probably the right call, in reality he should have got off, the Judiciary however had to be seen as acting with player welfare at the forefront, so 1 week maintains the image of accountability.

Wow Latrell in massive trouble.

One week ban a joke

 

[Rafferty]

One week ban a joke

Sipley’s 4 weeks is the joke……albeit a pretty piss poor one…..

 

[LeonardCohen]

People are pointing to Fa'alogo slipping, etc. and I get that there were mitigating circumstances. I too am frustrated with the lack of common sense taken by the NRL when a player slips into a tackle.

But...

I think Latrell is a different case because I don't believe he made a genuine attempt to tackle Fa'alogo. There was no wrapping of the arms and he lost his feet; it was Joey Manu 2.0. He does not seem capable of simply making a tackle in these scenarios. It's almost like he knows the player is vulnerable and instead of trying to make a tackle, he tries to smash them into next Tuesday; it's reckless.

 

[Bloke on the hill]

I'm probably late to the party on this topic, BUT...
The 10 minute sin bin rule for the 'head touch' in my opinion is negatively impacting the game.
Although I can't offer a solution to this, I hope the NRL does & ASAP!
BTW, I'm not surprised at all by Latrell doing typical Latrell type of things!

 

[globaleagle]

1 week. Not bad for Latrell who's been fined/suspended like 8 billion times.

#blessed

 

[Wombat Junior]

What was surprising to me was even Bellamy and munster in the presser thought it was more of an accident and sort of stood up for Latrell in a way.

 

[The '47ers]

The young fellas away game, Boooo Valleys ya grubs, but the ground named after our very own great man! 💪🏻
