Kinda off that he has come out and said this about latrell considering no specific racism has occurred towards latrell.

it honestly has similar vibes to when the parent coming to school saying their child is perfect even though the child has used foul language in the school yard.
Feel like vlandys coming out and saying this is only worsens latrells image.

definitely for the large scale of people this is not racism oriented. Can’t speak for everyone though.

the fact is josh addo carr an indigenous player was knocked out and worsened by latrell Mitchell.

if it was racism wouldn’t fans be booing both addo Carr and Mitchell? It just doesn’t make sense to make it a racism issue.
Fans are only racist to aboriginals not wearing their colours, that's what they are trying to portray...

Fkn stupid *****.

Gee it is not at if he hasn't been booed in the past and that was basically looked at as not out of the ordinary, part of being an NRL player in the spotlight, but once it involves us it becomes something "sinister". No one can say anything at all that is negative about the bloke without it becoming "racial" Criticism has come from many directions on and off the field, and indeed from one of his "brothers" in one instance, so how come now it is?
For heaven's sake. Why do people continually insinuate that the booing Latrell receives is racially motivated. They are the ones who are stirring the pot and pushing the agenda in this direction. No one I spoke to on the weekend at the game and indeed after were thinking "We are going to ( or did ) boo Latrell because he is indigenous" Simply put it was due to his behaviour in our last meeting and in subsequent games against other sides. The JAC incident was simply the icing on the cake.

Many great indigenous players have graced the footy field over the years and we as a club have had a few; Tony Currie, JT, Jamal Idris, Ewen McGrady ( my personal favourite), Rocket Rod Silva, Willie Tonga, Gavin Lester and of course JAC.. How many of them have been booed? If race was a motivation everyone of those players would.
The way in which someone behaves and acts can most certainly dictate the way in which they are seen and colour of skin doesn't come into it, unless someone insinuates it.
He has rubbed fans of a lot of teams up the wrong way simply because of the way he behaves on and off the field. He has a habit of trying to rub opposition fans up the wrong way with a "shoosh" , he milks penalties and uses grubby tactics and he polarizes many with things he says and does off field.

Someone tells him he needs to show respect (Gould) and everyone gets their knickers in a knot. He wants to be respected , okay that is a two way street, so he needs to understand that some of the things he says and does are disrespectful.

Fans are upset that just recently he was excused for using a tirade of expletives commenting that he would not apologize for doing so. In fact the spin was put on the whole thing that the broadcaster should bear the brunt of the blame because there was both audio and visual record of the whole affair. Perhaps if he had directed those words at someone in the NRL he might have been punished just as Brandon Smith was with a three match suspension. Other players have sworn but the difference being that they have stopped themselves, apologized and not continued with it. Ask Roosters fans how they feel about the Tedesco incident this season. Ask the Souths fans how they reacted to his laziness and lack of urgency in the same game which cost his team. They were ropeable and showed their displeasure but has the possibility of any of that being wrong been brought up?

I am so over the agenda driven comments of certain parts of the media.


2018

In the NRL 2018 finals series, Mitchell was handed a one match suspension after being charged for a crusher tackle on Josh Dugan in the Roosters victory over Cronulla.
2019

In Game 1 of the 2019 State of Origin series, Mitchell was sin binned for a professional foul on Matt Gillett in the 58th minute,[29] and dropped for the subsequent games.[30]

2020

On 27 April 2020, Mitchell was fined $1000 by the NRL and placed under investigation after he broke strict lockdown protocols with fellow NRL player Josh Addo-Carr by going on a weekend camping trip during the COVID-19 pandemic.

On 28 April, Mitchell was fined an additional $50,000 by the NRL for breaching strict self-isolation protocols and for bringing the game into disrepute.[103] On 9 November, Taree Local Court sentenced Mitchell to a 12-month conditional release order after he pleaded guilty to giving a firearm to a person not authorised by a licence or permit.[104]

2021
On 20 April, Mitchell was suspended for four weeks after being charged over two incidents during South Sydney's victory over the Wests Tigers in round 6. The incidents involved Mitchell lashing out at Wests player Luke Garner with his boot, and a late hit to the head of David Nofoaluma. Mitchell was also fined $3000 by the NRL[46] and ruled ineligible for a 2021 Dally M Medal due to this suspension.
However, his season ended when sin-binned for an illegal shoulder charge on Roosters player Joseph Manu, who left the field with a fractured cheekbone.[52] Mitchell subsequently took an early plea after being charged with a grade two reckless high tackle charge and was suspended for six matches (675 points).[53] Without his prior offences, Mitchell would have been offered a four-week ban.[54] Consequently, Mitchell missed playing in the 2021 finals series and the 2021 NRL Grand Final against the Penrith Panthers.
On 1 September 2021, NSW State of Origin coach Brad Fittler warned that Mitchell could "end up shortening his career" if unable to stay out of trouble on the field.[55]

2022
In round 17, Mitchell stood in as captain and kicked six out of eight goals for South Sydney in their 40–28 victory over the Newcastle Knights at McDonald Jones Stadium.[66] In the 18th minute, he was placed on report for high contact to the head of Newcastle winger Dominic Young.[67]

In round 25, he successfully kicked two of three conversion goal attempts for South Sydney in their 26–16 loss to the Sydney Roosters at Sydney Football Stadium.[70] In the 70th minute, Mitchell was sin-binned for ten minutes for deliberately impeding the play the ball off the back of repeat set restarts.[71]
2023
A few days before round 25, he was filmed shotgunning beer onstage at a concert
.[88] Apart from successfully kicking one of two goal attempts, "two crucial errors" in round 25 led directly to opposition tries in South Sydney's 10-29 loss to the Newcastle Knights, and in the final minutes Mitchell was sin-binned for an elbow to the back of Tyson Frizell's head.[89][90] Mitchell later conceded that this "grubby act has no place in the game".[91] An early guilty plea to a grade two dangerous contact charge resulted in a one-match suspension that ruled Mitchell out of playing in South Sydney's last game of the season.[92][93

Playing the victim and using the race card are just two easy and convenient options fatrell will use and uncle vlad will gladly endorse

And we are supposed to be naive and believe PVL that this guy is a good person.

He gets booed because of what he does on and off the field. No other reason.

V'Landys should go into politics as he's continually on the "Virtue Signaling Bandwagon". Oh wait, he can't do that he'd lose power and recognition. For V'Landys to say that says a LOT about him.

Should've been charged last week with his late illegal hit on JAC who is now out but that's OK "he's a good person" is a protected species.

Today against the Warriors he elbows Johnson in the head and then is penalized for a lifting tackle on Tahu Harris but that's OK "he's a good person". If he doesn't get time for these acts, then game is a total JOKE.

I'd ask what would James Graham or Hetherington receive when they were playing for us, if they did this?

By allowing Latrell leeway they're heading into dangerous territory as the "good person" will seriously hurt someone on the field one day as he can't control his emotions.

Fans will stop booing Latrell once your officials and judiciary actually act on his on-field antics, it's got to the point that even the NRL hierarchy are walking on eggshells regarding Latrell if they do act.

That's why fans are PO'd with NO action taken and in turn showing the NRL to be weak by not treating all players equally.

Latrell comes out before Leniu was charged before an 8-week suspension was handed down, with not only a public f bomb tirade but also stating he should get 12 weeks / half a season for a racial slur. Well, if we added up all the indiscretions that have been dismissed by the "good person" on and off the field, he'd be banned for 12 months!

Spot on Rod, Vlandy should be arms length from players, this is how Latrell repaid him for his public support.

and can be contacted directly via email in the article. In case u need some help finding it...

christian.nicolussi@smh.com.au [undefined:christian.nicolussi@smh.com.au]

Already made it clear that we boo him not because he's first nations or doesn't do stuff or charity (which is funny as Minns went to Moree last month for crime - wondering if this is the puff piece from the NRL to clean up his rep after the swearing and being called out for his crap on the Mam situation).

We boo him because he's a grub that gets away with dog shots time and time again. And the NRL have made him a poster boy ffs. Anyone else calls out a penalty for something at the judiciary prior to the hearing gets time. Not Bitchell. Anyone else that uses an interview to f bomb his brain off gets time. Not Bitchell.

You have a range of decent first nations guys who are real role models for the community, yet the NRL keep pushing Bitchell and Kung Fu Walker. We're not idiots ffs.

So feel free to flood this clowns inbox. Keep it real though.
Don't bother. He's achieved what he aimed for, clicks from Dogs fans. You could of left his name out completely, and it's just another blob from the primordial goo that is the mainstream media

Funny how noone goes out of their way to boo Alex Johnson, huh... Or is he an "Uncle Tom" because of that, Latrell? :sweatsmile: And now poor Latrell had his elbow viciously attacked by Shaun Johnson's obviously racist head! "Won't SOMEBODY think of Latrell???"

Even Cody gets a pass now since he's stopped being a complete grub
It's very noticeable that he has stopped the dirty stuff and realises he needs to be an influence for good and not a grub. Good on him for waking up to himself and he may be remembered for his footy now instead.
