Latrell Mitchell interview

What was the motivation for this to be shown on the NRL site?

No problems with the interview .......the whole "did I get dropped because of the no singing " sounded a bit Mundinish but the cards will fall what ever way they fall now

Bit of patience required

Nothing wrong with it at all. Lot of people have tin foil hats on today...

Please reread what I said ....I said it sounded a bit Mundinish .....lot of people need to stop reading into everything today

I was agreeing with with what you said. The tin foil comment wasn’t directed at you.

Well, he said at the very end of the interview he wants to go back with the rorters, rip in with the boys and win another comp.

Unless they are forcing him out (possible now) he seems unlikely to be leaving.

He seems a very nice bloke, a real country kid.

But also seems very, very uncertain about most things career wise.

That could have been filmed 2 weeks ago for all we know.

Funny how quick the decision was by the NRL regarding the Burgess cap.
Our one for Ben Mato took forever.

It is the offseason. Do you officially know how long it took between Tigers submitting Mats vs NRL decision? Did we submit before the GF?

I think they were all handled in adequate time - Tigers have had ample time to start putting Mats' money to use prior to 2020.

Time frame or no time frame the Burgess call is crap ...and it shows to me how stupid the NRL thinks we as fans are

Their own medico was the one saying that Burgess could be back by the 2022 ...what that didn't suit the poor ol Wabbits and Wusty's time frame

Quite possibly.

I’m actually feeling reasonably confident. No idea why.

Not arguing with you Happy, but I actually thought his thoughts on race and anthem etc were pretty balanced and measured, nowhere near Mundine levels. I hate identity politics but found myself thinking “yeah fair enough”.

I was surprised at my reaction to the video. Not only do I want him at the Tigers, I want a beer with him.

Of course if he goes to Souffs he is a total scumbag.

Just when he sort of danced around the whole getting dropped for not signing the Anthem at SOO

Yeah I wouldn't have minded going pig hunting with Latrell and having an ale or three afterwards

Then again I didn't need any stimulants after a night of pig hunting ....pretty wild stuff as I have mentioned previously ...pure adrenaline is better than any drug you could even think of doing

I’m more cynical. Put this fluff piece together with the Burgess decision and The man on the grassy noll.

When he discussed the anthem stuff.....Mundine would/did say “they didn’t pick me because they racist “

Latrell specifically hosed that down, but went back and said maybe a bit.

 

[hsvjones]

Did I read somewhere that LM has a meeting with Tigers this Monday or Tuesday?
Can anyone confirm this or is it just another rumour / hope

 

[matchball]

Interview was good looked to me like Latrell put couple kilos on too

He comes from a family of fatties.
His brother is huge, his dad is even huger if that's even a word.

I think the hard part about being a Tigers fan is , we watch the favouritism to the top clubs , and , correct me if I’m wrong , we all find it really hard to watch , because on Paper we should be right there with them .
We really should be at the very top , with the amount of supporters , A truely generational talent in Benji , and from my count if we get rozelle off the ground , 5 functioning leagues clubs . I understand the frustration , but I truely feel the tide is turning , and until then we will always have a chip on our shoulders .
