2019 Face of the Game - should it be Latrell?

[TheDalek079]

Hello forumites!

Its the off season, so its time that we look forward to the upcoming season. Did you know its only 132 days until Round One?!?!
One thing that fans love to speculate on is who will be the face of the game. I think it should be Sydney Roosters Super Star Latrell Mitchell.

Latrell is a champion. In 2018, he was a key component in the success of New South Wales and the Sydney Roosters. He scored two tries in State of Origin this year, and scored a sensational try in this year's Grand Final. He's also young and extremely handsome, which will encourage more women to watch the game and be more likely to let their little kids play rugby league. His community work, bringing a ton of kids to watch the prelim final this year shows him to be a champion of the community, which is what the Face of the Game needs to be. The advert can feature him scoring one of his barnstorming tries and doing his trademark celebration, then the advert can show smiling kids and their parents doing the celebration too. It would promote the game as being fun.

Alternatively, Australian and NSW captain Boyd Cordner is another option to be the Face of the Game.

thoughts?

they can name his celebration The 'Trell, and it can become the new craze for footy fans. like thats tops, and thats gold! if we get a replacement Footy Show maybe they could have a segment where they show fans/viewers doing The 'Trell

Or maybe a highlight reel of when he gets grubby and niggly after every tackle...

The rooster supporter base is about 12000, I'd estimate that 11970 of those are f**kknuckles.

Cave.

He is someone we can all be proud of.

Latrell Mitchell is passionate. He wears his heart on his sleeve. he has the competitive instinct that the likes of Johnathan Thurston possessed. But Latrell is not grubby, niggly or a communist

Obviously Kalyn Ponga. Latrell is a fat lesbian.

So desperate for recognition. How sad for such a successful team.

 

[Lambretta]

It should be Ricky Stuart - blowing up galore on the sideline, kicking a chair

I think we can all relate to being that person

I’d go with the best forward in the game Junior Paulo

Mitchell is a grub

In general, the NRL should really be pushing the youth movement of the competition. Latrell Mitchell, Kalyn Ponga, AJ Brimson, Nick Cotric, Tevita Pangai Jr, Nathan Cleary, Victor Radley etc. need to be the focus and the game needs to promote their story and why fans should watch them play.

Especially now that JT and Slater have retired. You don't want to give the public the impression that the game is in a state of decline.

Agree. Mitchell Moses is a grub. And a sook. And a turnstile
