Latrell Mitchell’s ban

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

It looked like a pretty ****full situation @Eagle of London . I won't plumb the depths of this crappy topic anymore. I will let this random guy have the last turd. I mean word.

you win. BRAVO......

Laterell Mitchell high tackle has ended Joey Manu season with a fractured cheekbone. What should be his punishment?

Latrell Mitchell should be banned until such time as he can show that he's got his head in the right place however long that might take. the whining that some commentators carry on with about the damage his suspension will do to Souths finals chances is pathetic, especially when they fail to balance with comments about the damage to Manu's and the Rooster's season.
Also, in rd 22 Mitchell took out Brimson by kicking him in the jaw, and breaking it, as got up after Brimson tackled him. There was no penalty, no review by the bunker or the ref...nothing!
He's an embarrassment to our game which he regularly puts in disrepute with his thuggery.

NRL head of football Graham Annesley believes South Sydney star Latrell Mitchell should have been sent off in Friday night's match against Sydney Roosters but he has defended the bunker for not taking immediate action over the incident that left Joey Manu with a fractured cheekbone.

Sorry Robbo respectfully disagree.

Latrell's hit was an order of magnitude more nasty, I believe - but as that is my opinion it will mean little without agreement from a wider consensus.

Regardless, I am happy Latrell Mitchell is not a Manly player, as I find him an abrasive and difficult player to like. Even if he had the beloved Sea Eagle on his guernsey, I would still find that hit entirely distasteful.

CNH did a similarly reckless act, but at least he showed a modicum of regret, and then posted a public apology. Has Latrell done that much? No. Is he perhaps still looking at a way he can pin this on a victimisation complex....? Hmmm..

Mitchell got sent for 10, and upon his return he scored, and pegged the ball at point-blank at the undefended head of an ex-team-mate. Is he just "fired up"? Or is he just expressing his inner-twat?

Latter for me bro, until evidence proves otherwise.

An apology or further bad behaviour on the field does not make a tackle better or worse. That is my point, the MRC don't take any of that into their grading. People are defending CHN by saying he's a nice guy or he said sorry. That doesn't mean a thing in the MRC grading. Like I said those things may change the judiciary outcome but not the MRC. They are completely separate entities.
Think of the MRC as a cop and the Judiciary as Judge Judy.
If a cop pulls over a guy in high range drink driving, he's not gonna give him a mid range charge cos the guy was nice and showed remorse! However Judge Judy might take those things into consideration when giving the sentence.

Harsh. Hoppa was just trying to inspire his teammates with an aggressive shot. It’s how he plays the game. He didn’t mean to hurt Gallaway. Unless you played the game you wouldn’t understand.

Right Gus?

Gal?

Agreed @Stuey Davis Socks I had to do a DD doubletake when I saw that first up this morning

I hope scumbag latrell does challenge and loses the challenge, that would be more fitting. I have no doubt he sees himself as the victim in all this

Mitchell has taken the early plea, 6 weeks it is, seasons over for him

 

[##fanboy88]

Well South has accepted a six week ban for Latrell - would have love to be a fly in the wall when he was told.

Round 24 charges: Latrell to accept six-week ban; Bromwich, Paulo in hot water

 

[davohan123]

He has taken the six weeks early guilty plea.

Souths was robbed......of ex-Manly Legend Liam Knight for 2 games.

Oh and some other guy got an early-mark for the season...forget his name.

 

[manlyfan76]

Latrels season just got flushed down the toilet.
