Is Latrell Mitchell overrated?

[6 more kfc buckets]

A good example I’d use is if he was the Tigers fullback the last 2 years does anybody think they get the wooden spoon? No way in hell. I’m fact I’d say we jump 4 to 5 places. Yet could you say the same about someone like Dylan Edwards? Nope, I couldn’t.

Not so sure on that one. Eels still collected spoons with Hayne who was very similar in football terms.

Fair call however I’d argue that the Eels spooners and tigers are totally different teams. At round 12 or so wests we’re in the top 2 and 3 for run meters and opposition 20 play the balls yet had the worst attack in the comp. Their issue has been scoring points, a dynamite 1 would have changed that.

Is Latrell a fullback yet?

If Latrell played for the Tigers the only effort he'd put in during the year is how many KFC Family Feasts he'd be able to consume during the season.

Even on $1m a year he'd run out by June.

Anyone who only puts in for about 1/3 of a game is def overrated .

He'll look invincible next week no doubt about that.

 

[Port Stephens Magpie]

Wow, terrible performance. The kid isn't fit enough to play fullback

Well the media will make out he'll be anyhow

The $1.3m it would have taken for Tigers to get Mitchell would severely deplete the rest of their side and they would win less. Not more.

Latrell plus two minimum wage replacements would basically take the same salary as Api, Bateman and Klemmer combined.

He's not one for the tough work and wouldn't carry a team on his own. He also floats in and out of games.

If you could bring Walker along with him you have definitely got a side that's going to finish a few spots higher. But not with Mitchell on his own and the players you would lose to squeeze him in.

Still makes me depressed that the Knights passed on him as a junior in favour of Brock f**king Lamb because they thought he was lazy.

Latrell’s a funny one. If I was starting a new club he’d be one of the first players I’d want, but he probably wouldn’t be in my top 5 choice fullbacks.

Bloke is on the Cameron Smith tier of referees

 

[Peach & Apricot]

If Latrell is married his wife might want to get a restraining order against Yvonne Sampson. Even when Souths and Latrell badly she just constantly fawns about how wonderful Latrell is.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

The media build him up as if he's the greatest player to ever pull on a pair of boots so yes, he's definitely overrated.

 

[10$ Ferret]

My mate had a theory, if he gets booed and bagged he comes out like a demon. If you just let the media say how wonderful he is, he continues to be lazy and do nothing.

BTW Woody, the knights never really knocked him back. He was taken to the CC by his dad who had a mate there and from then the Roosters connections kicked in

I think where it gets overplayed is when the media carry on like his return is suddenly going to boost a lazy team who has been playing like potatoes for 12 weeks, to all of a sudden premiership material again. When that doesn't happen it's "Latrell is overrated" instead of the tough questions about the team overall.

There is 1 bloke in our spine though who is a rep player on massive coin who really doesn't have anywhere near the input he should, and for a number of years now...

And given it was such an important game I would have played Cody against the Sharks too.
