How awful of them!

Honestly, I don’t see your gripe with this? And it was likely already organised before the season started.
It’s 2 Rugby League players and they aren’t white. It’s enough to trigger any fumbler.

Is Latrell the dumbest or smartest player in the NRL?

His team are currently imploding again verses the Warriors. Rather than trying harder to help his team.
He cocks his elbow into Johnson head and stays on the field then lifts a player between the legs and give him a slow delicate spear tackle and stays on the field. ( if this was any other player they would be in the bin or sent off)
Is he trying to get suspended or does he want the coach to drop him to NSW cup.

Neither, he wants people to boo him or call him out on socials so he can continue this whole victim narrative he’s created.

He is a smart player imo just does silly things at times. At least after elbowing Johnson he didn’t question the penalty instead questioning why Johnson wasn’t off for 10minutes HIA

I'm convinced he is self sabotaging to get either get suspended or dropped.

He knows that he needs a break, but won't or can't admit it.

I've made fun of him in the recent past (yesterday arvo lol), but the more I think about it the more convinced I am that he needs help tbh.

He's over-rated, not because he's a lousy player but because he lacks consistency in his performances.

On a good day, playing to his potential he lives up to the billing.. BUT - and it's the mental factor at play here - he doesn't consistently put in great performances.. and the gap between his best & worst is huge.

Plus, as his state of mind erodes the performances get even more erratic - which just feeds into the abuse he gets & a downward spiral.

I honestly fear for his mental wellbeing, and I hope he gets all the support he needs.
