Is Latrell Mitchell overrated?

[Exsilium]

Hi, you seem new to the NRL.

Yeah, I’ve been reading up on past disciplinary action by the NRL and the respective clubs and naively I’m thinking this bloke is in trouble and should be held accountable but it doesn’t appear to be likely. Must be hard being a pro athlete and a role model.

1 match suspension. To be served next week. Even tho his injured
And $20,000 fine

 

[blue bags]

Rabbitohs punishment decision tomorrow
Media reports
Reports of no leadership from Rabbitohs
Sam Burgess was right last year
Should have sacked Latrell then
But the coach got sacked

What a train crash his car park interview was!

The NRL has confirmed that "the suspension is to be served once the Player is fit and available to return from injury".

Very much looking forward to them applying that to the multitude of times that occurs each season.

Anyway if we have any brains we just trot him out in front of cameras for training next week and say he's ready to be selected.

$100K fine
Damn

That is a ridiculous decision by the NRL but it won't be an issue in this instance. They should just name Latrell next week as 18th man.

The illusion of being reprimanded, I think it's all show.

Amateur hour again by the NRL. Are they going to do the same with judiciary suspensions?

Also, they could have easily avoided this by just delaying the hand down of the sanction.

'This will be a turning point': NRL and Rabbitohs hand Latrell Mitchell one-match ban and fines over white powder photo

Latrell Mitchell has learnt his fate as both the NRL and the South Sydney Rabbitohs handed down their respective punishments for the controversial white powder photo which circulated on social media earlier this year.

Ben Hornby in today's presser insinuated that as long as Latrell "ticked a few boxes" he should be available for selection next week.

LOL. The NRL is a circus.

IIRC, the NRL can't. These matters are covered in the CBA apparently.

$80k suspended so it's $20k

Good

I hope they push this, I would love to see the NRL try and claim he isn't fit to play.

When was the last time this merkin was actually "fit"

If Wayne has any idea Latrell would have been sacked 2 weeks ago

 

[mxlegend99]

The fit clause is bullshit. I know for off field incidents there’s not the same urgency for punishment to be served immediately. But you can’t just say he has to be fit to play for the suspension. Its delayed indefinitely until he can play.

Just say he is banned for Round 1 next year. If he is fit or injured shouldn’t matter. Or ban him from rest of this year and international fixtures. Looks tough even though he wont miss anything extra.

expecting consistency from the NRL? Don’t be daft.

If Souths don’t name him next week they are crazy. Although tbh I’d much prefer Crowe to challenge the suspension outright as there is no way injury should play a part in delaying a suspension.

What about the Koori Knockout?
