Is Latrell Mitchell overrated?

[Rising from the Ashes]

Don't post on here like you would not have him at your club. For the right money you'd sign him tomorrow. Cos he is a legitimate match winner in every sense. He needs to leave Souths and Sydney itself. He is a country lad at heart pretending he is comfortable in his current environment. Put him at the Knights, Raiders or Cowboys and he carves it up.

Reminds me of Hayne, highlights package galore but little team success because he was a bludger at training and set zero standards as a senior player.

 

[Peach & Apricot]

He needs to focus on playing and avoid making political statements on subjects he has no knowledge or education in

 

[Penrith fan]

Latrell has been used and abused by too many people.

He is mentally broken and only a shadow of himself.

His shadow is larger than ever because he’s a lazy fat f**k

Need's to get more involved. Or play Regies
Or country footy

You think he's awake before noon to cast a shadow?

2 coaches have managed that ego fine, one hasn't. Half of coaching is managing egos.

id argue all his coaches failed to manage his ego.

Robbo failed to manage his ego to play fullback and lost him from the squad as a result.

Bennett failed to keep his inner grub in check, which essentially cost him a premiership in 2021 after one too many suspensions had him out for finals series and a GF that was just begging for an X factor moment.

demitrou… well no explanation needed there.


The Robbo thing on its own you might not blame on latrell. Clearly he was never comfortable at easts. But when he couldn’t even keep his head playing at his childhood club for arguably the greatest man manager in the country then questions have to be asked

'Cost a premiership'

Latrell is Cleary's bitch.

'Cost a premiership'

Latrell is Cleary's bitch.

in 2020 and 2021 Cleary did exactly nothing in those GFs.

2021 specifically was 2 tries all, one Penrith try from an intercept. Souths had a tonne of ball and field position in the second half to take the lead but didn’t have their strike weapon to bust it open.

Lol.

Latrell would be crying from exhaustion at half time with Cleary making him run for the ball.

In his defence he had to play with some deadset plodders in those Eels teams and had to endure Kearney’s horrible coaching

LM has more talent in his little finger than Hayne ever had. Buts thats part of the problem, he has never been accountable and his talent overrides his efforts.
Robbo def had him in check, but got sick of it, not only unwilling to play him at FB but also unwilling to re-sign Shaq.
To Shaq's credit he is 1000x different now that he was back then.
LM had all the wrong people in his ear telling him what to do as well as souffs and bulldogs after him. He had been recently screwed over by his old manager as well.

His bought his family a big farm highly doubt he could just retire, he’d be debt up to the hills.

We won that game off the back of his kicking. If his kicking was off we lose that game with Trell still sitting in the stands. His missed tackle on Cody's try was pretty bad though.

On Trell, he has managed to "bust it open" against us once this decade. Him & Cody pulled off a few miracle plays in the final minutes to scrape home last year. That was the last game Souffs played before the slide into the Hell they now find themselves in. When you look at his record since being at Souths the narrative that he would have made a difference is laughable.

What's the odds Latrell bags a couple of meat pies this weekend.

Actual tries $40
Actual meat pies $1.000001

Souffs should offer Latrell a free meat pie for every try he scores.


He would score10 tries a game.

“He’s like a modern-day Cliffy Lyons-type of player,” Hornby said. “He’s instinctive, has great ball skills, and is probably the best player I’ve been involved with in that department.
