Souths unrest

[Rod67]

He’s just mad because it’s two lazy arrogant black fellas being called out.

Yeh, they don't like being called out, but they definitely want a "Voice", that's the basis for their current change in attitude......there's more $$$$$$$ in that than any NRL contract.

Rodney Churchill, the son of rugby league Immortal Clive Churchill, has launched a stinging attack on South Sydney star Latrell Mitchell, saying the club’s pampering of him has backfired.

Churchill has long doubted Mitchell’s value, and he has taken South Sydney’s internal war to a new level.


Sydney Roosters take on the Wests Tigers in Round 26 of the 2023 NRL Premiership.

Rabbitohs legend Sam Burgess walked out on the club on Wednesday after growing tired of the way coach Jason Demetriou was dealing with him and Mitchell.

“I don’t think he has delivered as a fullback at all,” Churchill said. “Souths have not won a competition in his time, and they’ve had the team to do it. In my view, he has not put in 100 per cent effort. The way he has been treated has had a negative effect on the whole club. In my view, Mitchell has been the catalyst for this whole implosion. The whole situation has backfired. ‘Gus’ [Phil] Gould came out and said a few things about him [Mitchell] not delivering. He was proved right.”

Churchill says the coach has got it wrong when it comes to Mitchell.


“He is the world’s best centre and is totally out of position as fullback,” Churchill said. “The coach has got it wrong. He [Mitchell] is too lazy and doesn’t have the physique to be a fullback.”

Latrell Mitchell is too lazy to play fullback, according to the son of a Rabbitohs great.

Churchill’s father, Clive, is a rugby league Immortal who played for Australia 37 times. Clive won five premierships with Souths as a player and three more as a coach.

“Our club has always had enormous respect for the Churchill family and Clive’s unique contribution to the Rabbitohs. Our boardroom is named in his honour,” Souths chief executive Blake Solly said.

“But these comments are inaccurate and unfortunate. This time last year everyone in the game was marvelling at Latrell’s performance against the Roosters in a sudden-death semi-final, and he has just been nominated for an NRL leadership award. Latrell’s passion and commitment to the Rabbitohs is as strong as anyone in our club.”


Burgess will be at Russell Crowe’s farm on the North Coast some time in the next two months with fiancee Lucy and their newborn baby. Burgess’ relationship with Rabbitohs part-owner Crowe is intact despite Burgess’ emotional exit.

Churchill is spot on.

But now probably be labelled a racist because he said the truth about the fat lazy fuck.

Don't you have to win the GF to get one of those?

A restless divided Souffs still put up better performances than our duds

Well, you need to at least make the GF

How true. Latrell apparently did nothing but play (mostly) in GFs (& win them) all the way through juniors. He knew no other reality.
Got by being overweight, but still being the star, on talent alone. Age, injuries, weight & lack of fitness r coming back to haunt him now.

IMO he struggles to cope with losing & has a brain explosion (tantrum) when things r not going his way. 2022 he took out Joey Manu with a flying head shot. Out for finals. Similar event again this year.

The infinite patience that South’s had with him is running out. Not surprised Morris/Burgess spoke up about this special treatment. Hence South’s shafted them both.[emoji23]

Hey Taylforth. That is exactly what I meant with my comments.

 

[dogluva]

all the “not in his nature” comments can be dead and buried. Loltrell said it himself that he’s “trying to get that stuff out of his game”. It’s always been there, it’s in his game. And he has to actually try and make effort to rid the behaviour because he’s a dog **** at the core

You and I have always seen that in his game but as a darling (maybe to be former darling) of the media they tend not to.

Spot on and of course the powers that be at Souths don't like it one little bit. Yep, Latrell can do some good things but to be a player in the top echelon of players you need to be able to do it week in week out and in whatever capacity the coach deems fit. The son of a absolute champion of a player, one of those elite blokes in the game has got it absolutely right.

Funny too how the reporting was coming out at one stage as Burgess being in Russell's bad books and he perhaps having something to do with his quick removal.

 

[MountMontoya]

Yep

 

[Kempsey Dog]

Yep

What is it with Jai Arrow and wild dogs... mans ownership should seriously come into question. Forgive him the first time, but come on.

 

[Kempsey Dog]

Should target Tallis Duncan now.

Even though he is spot on. Who the fck does Rodney Churchill think he is. This **** thinks he has a say in shit because of his dad. Fkn entitled ****

 

[Robbothedestroyer]

He is an nuffy like most of us on here but is entitled to his opinion and more than one of us has expressed similar thoughts on this forum. A media beat up over nothing.
The cringeworthy response is latrell having a sook and playing the victim card. Just ignore the comment and move on.

 

[The DoggFather]

Even though he is spot on. Who the fck does Rodney Churchill think he is. This **** thinks he has a say in shit because of his dad. Fkn entitled ****

Where/how did he say what he said? SEN first reported it was an email, then later said he said it at training.

And this article doesn't mention when/how.

I heard he sent a text to Nick Pappas. But who knows uce. But this **** needs to stop living off his old man’s name. **** probably can’t even pass a ball

Never heard of him until this thing.

If it was in private or in house then it shouldn't of been leaked. But that's part of souffs fuck ups, they leak like a sieve.
