Latrell (officially signs with Souths 13/1/20)

[no name]

Having Brock Lamb as his halves partner didn’t help.

Could still make a decent 6.

 

[mave]

If Latrell knows that field goals are only worth 1 point, planes do in fact fly in the rain, drink driving and speeding are bad, and doesn't need to protect his partner from self harm, then he is a few steps ahead of Inglis.

 

[Saxon]

There is some clarity needed here. Inglis was NOT a 5/8th. He was not.
He wore the number 6 yes, but at best he was a second lock forward or third centre playing two off the ruck. Used as a bigger, stronger, faster version of Scott Hill without the passing game.

Not denying he had a great game, but it was Cronk who ran the show and gave GI space to move. No need to think - just play his natural game.

If they had put Latrell there with Cronk tonight it probably would have worked fine. The moment thinking was involved it all went to shit.

Agree

Can't see any team wanting to sign him. I guess the chooks could renew his 450k for 10 years.

It's a great shame that we've been denied the opportunity to see Latrell and Godric team up together on the same side of the field

The thought alone makes me bar up more than Long Bay

If this doesn't make a Blues fan wet in 2020 then nothing will...

1. Tedesco
2. Addo Carr/Cotric
3. Latrell
4. Xerri
5. Trbojevic

Now that Jimmy the Jet has gone to Souths, the Bunnies will not have the money or the salary cap space to compete for Latrell Mitchell.

Latrell Mitchell will be a Rooster for the next 6 years at least.

 

[BadnMean]

Told ya- not fit to tie Joey Leilua's bootlaces even when he can't do it himself because of his crook neck.

 

[leaguelegend21]

Latrell is so dumb when he plays, it’s almost as if his mind is back 40,000 years.

Only turns it on twice a year and is useless the rest.

 

[Vee]

I know he's got a way to go but knocking a freakish talent like him is tempting fate.

 

[Captain Apollo]

Also it's not as if the guy playing directly inside him covered himself in glory since he got the hook. Further NSW kept directing their attack down the right hand side about 95% of the game.

 

[Perth Red]

He looked disinterested, he had turnstile chambers in front of him, how did he not score a hat trick?

 

[Tommy Smith]

No excuses for Latrell last night. He was very poor and needs to drastically improve his streaky/flakey mentality.

Credit where it is due for his efforts last season. He was immense in Origin, which shouldn't be forgotten, as well as throughout the NRL season and also the GF.

But the greats have the ability to do it week in, week out; season after season.

And Latrell certainly didn't back it up last night. Even worse he's starting to look like a temperamental superstar that needs molly coddling continuously.

So get your shit sorted, Latrell. No one rewrites history like a horde of angry NSW Blues fans who have already forgotten about your efforts last season after your putrid game yesterday.

But put in a repeat performance and they'll be justified in pouring shit on you.

 

[perverse]

Seeing him run around last night I couldn't help but think... imagine if he was fit? The bloke is carrying some extra kegs when compared with his contemporaries. Kinda speaks to his attitude off the field... he's clearly not the hardest trainer or most methodical with his preparation.

Freakish talent, but I get the feeling everything has always come easy to him. If he applied himself 100% on and off the field he'd be one of the best centres we've seen. Consistency would come with a new attitude towards training and the game in general imo. Hopefully it comes with age and maturity for him, it'll be a waste otherwise.

If only Queensland could have put the great Robert Jennings against him

And this.

I reckon he's still injured from the Raiders game at Sandcorp.
