They`re just not as fit as the rest of the comp. Latrelle or not they are struggling against most sides. It`s a tough comp. They improve every year. If you don`t keep up with them you`re toast.
Give me a thumbs up if you’re loving all the Rabbitohs troubles and most of all Latrells troubles…..lol 😂😂
Why is everyone jumping on the “let’s bash Souths bandwagon” now? Yet very few people were able to identify there were serious issues late last year. They should have nipped these in the bud.
fyi, maybe this is why he wants Easter cancelled. "Pickering is married to Sarah Krasnostein and they have two children. He converted to Judaism in 2013" Freddie and Joey, you are off the hook.
Love Freddy Fittler and Andrew Johns. Greats who don’t feel the need to just jump on the bandwagon and slag players off.
Fullbacks: you forgot Charnze.
He ain’t no Greg Inglis and he certainly ain’t no Anthony Mundine
You boys were not joking last week about the easter trip up because you're terrible liars. Joey seriously had no clue
Warriors fullback Klokstad comming back from injury had a great game all over the park as for GUTrell his highlights were an elbow to the head and a spear tackle !!
Grubtrell needs to realise it's a team sport, not a glory show
Fred "i played jack at 2nd row" yeah that's why youre not the coach anymore.
Latrell isn’t South’s biggest problem. He’s the NRLs biggest problem. Single handedly causing division and ruining the image of the game. Will go down as the most hated player ever.
"I've played him (Wighton) in back row"
Yeah you also played Cook at centre, how'd that go for you 😅
Not sure why brad is saying that Souths got to GF with Latrell… they didn't. The one time they made it was when he was out 😂
Freddy’s right, the Rabbits were making finals with Reynolds at halfback and there’s no coincidence that when he left they went down hill. All they need is an experienced halfback to steer the ship which will allow Walker, Latrell and Cook to play freely, instead of those guys trying to play their roles and the halfback role as well
This isn't since last year with Latrell it's not new it was the same at the Roosters.
No Adam Reynolds no finals, souths are really missing his guidance and leadership
Whos the blonde lady with gags?
What bs Latrell isn't a guy crying out for help he's a guy who needs to grow up. He's a liability. The coach, the club and the NRL have conspired to help him to stay that selfish, petulant, lazy, loud mouth, grub that he is. It's time the NRL treats Mitchell the same way as any other player. Send him off to reserve grade. And I'm not talking about his footy even. His grubby cheap shots are enough to pull the pin on him before one of his gutless cheap shots ends another players career. if it was anyone else that would have happened 6 months ago.
All this psychoanalysis of latrell is so cringe. I don't think its that deep 😂
Souths should have kept Taffe at fullback, put latrell at centre and put Jack Wighton at 6
What about South's terrible recruitment? We need some hard tough forwards that can dominate..
Can t Beleave we got to listen to Freddy. Joey is right
Great episode
This is what happens with preferential treatment. If he was treated like everyone else, it would not have gotten this bad. The coaching staff would have disciplined him long ago. Just play the game..
Cam McInnis another stupid mistake from the redv,50+tackles a game made for origin
Fatrell needs to lay of the donuts and shed a few kilos
Activism and sport don't end well for young and naive athletes who are hoodwinked into politicking by social constructionists with larger hidden agendas at play. Sport is a great equalizer and people of any color and any ethnicity, in any chosen field are well regarded and some even as GOATs. People dont boo Latrell because hes a black fella, they boo him because they know what he's about.
Rusty is being milked! From the very top! Will they blame the ballboys next? Redfern Drama Central require a🎥New Producer and Director Lotsa 🤑💰💸
11:42 Latrell set the standard for quite a while. Ponga was the highest paid player for years before he stepped. That comparison is rubbish. he’s experiencing an extended form slump and everything that brings as a highly paid leader but that Ponga comparison is crap.
Latrell’s actions speak louder than words, and there are not good.
Was rather surprised to hear the same music from Motorsport manager in the bunnies segment
Anyone picking latrell for NSW?
I've been carrying my wife for 10 years at dinner parties with my good looks and wit.
He's gone walkabout like they all do
Latrells the man ! 💯 stop putting him down , he’s in a slump
He’s the best player in the world 🌍 on his day , bar none
I rekon we will see him return to number 1
You couldn't coach a choko vine fittler you had michell in your state side and still got flogged 😅
cody 7 whiteton 6 letrell 3 gray fullback
Latrell is bitter about being invaded and losing
"the ginger headed sheila … the biggest loser" lol 😂😂
The weakest link 😂😂😂😂
For the people saying the hate against Latrell is racially driven, it’s not, he just comes across as a D-head. I put him in that same category as Luai but the difference is Luai wins and pulls his weight. Latrell is on the same path as Julian Oneill, Terry Hill …. Just absolute knobs.
I really hope Latrell gets picked in origin even though he really shouldn't. Only for the fact for if he plays how he did against the warriors and tries to be a grub the biff has a 80% of coming back!!
Ledgends? An overation, many better in a diffrent world! Petho, i miss rabs you aren't either in his shadow as a caller!
To many enablers at Souths. Cam Murray needs to have a honest conversation with coaches to drop Latrell to make a stance.
It's seems that Latrell has got a Attitude problem, he is completely toxic.
Can I ask why we are giving this team this much attention?? They are not as good as they used to be! Why?? Who knows?? And what my point is, who cares??
When the project tries to have a crack at you, you know youre doing something right
