NRL Rd 24 *Spoilers

[innsaneink]

I just watched Robinsons presser and yea his overall view of things is correct but if he thinks its only the rorters that get bad calls he is totally delusional. Let him come down and coach one of the bottom sides and see how unfair the decisions are. And then you have the media gushing all over him about how brave the rorters are even going to the game with half their side out. This is the trouble with rugby league - the whole thing is run for 4 or 5 clubs and the crap only hits the fan when one of them is seen to be dudded.

Robbo also said it was late....LOL...he passed the ball same time as LM hit him

He also said roosters are thje most penalised team :x: :x:

Bulldogs :heavy_check_mark: :heavy_check_mark:

Still wish the circumstances were different and we signed Mitchell.
He's a flog, but he's a superstar flog.

He wasn't going to let anyone stop him for his second try. Haven't seen a Tigers try like that for a long time

Theres a fine line.....the best players sometimes cross it
Id love a player or 3 with his ability and attitude but a bit more control
This is why we love our game but sometimes its not difficult for players to overstep
the mark

The racist indigenous comments earlier were poor and not needed

There's no fine line when it comes to him, there's a very clear line and he leaps right over it. That high shot was disgraceful - that is just looking to seriously hurt someone. That is not what the game is about. He did it when Manu was completely defenceless too. Just like when he lashed out at Garner and tried to kick him with his studs and his stupid head slamming antics. Spineless. You shouldn't excuse that kind of play just because he happens to be a good player.

 

[supercoach]

Be interesting to see how The NRL justify a non send off for Mitchell and probably a minor suspension. Absolute joke, but really are you surprised. Talk about lack of leadership at HQ.

Anyway on the game last night, how good is Cam Murray. He is a freak and for a guy who is not playing in a spine position, I would rate him in the top five players in the game. Great defender, great link man, massive engine, quickest play the ball in the game and seems a good guy with no crap in his game…unlike a lot of others at the Rabbits

"You need to hurt em in the tackles"
Was told this weekly as a kid playing.
Youre delusional if you think players dont try to hurt opposition..legally
I agree its an illegal act and im not excusing it, did you miss where i said "A bit more control"?
Yes, he got him high but at the speed theyre both travelling
its not as easy as people think to hit a moving target at that speed
Careless, reckless yes

 

[Telltails]

I love Latrell as a player but if I am a Rabbitohs supporter today Id be filthy at him. Winning a comp is not easy and South's have got themselves in a pretty good position to give it a crack and Latrell goes out and makes it all about him. The reaction after the great try and sin bin demonstrated that he just doesn't get it.

 

[Elderslie_Tiger]

Roosters officially can’t win the comp after copping 50 + &
Mr Marshall will be playing semis but Rabbitohs also can’t win the comp after having 50 put on them earlier this year
Panthers & storm gf rematch with storm to make it 2 in a row ☔️

With the long term injuries the Rorters have copped this year there was no way they were ever a chance of winning the comp love them or loathe them they have competed very well with the unknown players they have put on the paddock this year.

I have no problem with them trying to hurt the opposition legally: that's part of the game. He doesn't do it legally. He attacks the head, he attacks from behind, he attacks players on the ground. It's low and pathetic. This is not some "bit more control" situation, he just doesn't care about injuring other players illegally and sometimes goes out of his way to do it.
Yes, it's hard to make those tackles legally at speed, which is why fullbacks often miss them. It's not so hard when you just fling your body at the attacking player while leading with the shoulder like he does...

 

[Telltails]

Bennett made mention of the Crowe's book of fueds last night - not sure he is a fan of the impact it has on his players - cause clearly Walker Latrell and Gagai all walk a fine line in most games and really don't need the additional amping.

yes, hurt them legally.

The fact he's had 3 or 4 charges this year already means he's not hurting them legally. I know no one is excusing it, but I don't think it deserves to be downplayed either.

As for this particular tackle, Mitchell was too lazy to get down low. The pass beat him and the other Rooster was wrestling him down. Mitchell didn't adjust. Yes, I understand it's hard to adjust at that speed but that's the risk you take going so hard into a tackle.

I don't think the excuse of "he was trying his best for the team" that I've heard commentators use for Radley and Mitchell is good enough here. You wanna hit a player hard, do it to a prop who runs back from kick off- not to a player who is already being wrestled to the floor.

 

[tig_prmz]

Also, he wanted to fight Manu after he could see the damage he's already caused to him..

Again, I understand that there are no friends on the field and I don't know anything about Latrell off the field but I fail to understand how a decent human would be willing to do that.

Protected species. Hope he cops it. This guy is meant to be a model for kids and continuously pushes the boundaries and shows no remorse.

The Cam Munster’s of the world (and most hotheads) at least show remorse and admit they fall short in these areas, albeit after the fact, but this guy has little problem with his behaviour and shows little respect to fellow players.

The audacity to come back on and to carry on too is so immature, if I were out there for the roosters I would’ve gone full Lachie Lewis on the grub. May as well, there season is done

You gonna nick his speaker? :joy:

 

[earl]

I couldn't believe that hit by Latrell. He is a special player. I think he is better than Tedesco. He is close to Tommy Turbo.

He is also a dog of a player and I'd wipe him out a lot longer than 4 weeks.

I remember as a kid players would get belted. He deserved to get belted.

Yep....agree...reckless, careless....not sure on the difference of those two terms

Someday, someone will turn on him and land a couple right on his chin. He won't know what the hell happened. There's not many I'd take pleasure in seeing being knocked out, but he's possibly one.

I'd love to put one on him. I'm too old and not big enough but geez he needs a bashing.

Round 24 charges: Latrell faces season-ending ban


NRL.com
Sat 28 Aug 2021, 11:23 AM

Rabbitohs star Latrell Mitchell is facing a suspension of between six and nine matches after being charged with a grade two reckless tackle on Roosters centre Joey Manu.

Mitchell was sin-binned for the hit that left former teammate Manu with a suspected fractured cheekbone. With four prior offences in the past two years, he faces a six-match ban if he enters an early guilty plea and would risk a nine-match suspension if he unsuccessfully fights the charge at the judiciary.

Rabbitohs teammate Liam Knight is facing a ban of 2-3 matches for making dangerous contact with Roosters prop Siosiua Taukeiaho, while Roosters forward Fletcher Baker is facing a ban of one or two matches for a crusher tackle.

Warriors prop Matthew Lodge is facing a ban of one or two matches after being charge with dangerous contact over a tackle on Raiders forward Joseph Tapine.

He should get longer and he should get charged for assault.

Under the judiciary code recklessness means that the player saw the danger of contact with the head or neck but continued with the tackle regardless. Carelessness just means they just failed to show reasonable care and necessarily did not foresee the danger of contact with the head or neck. Recklessness is not some minor form of culpability, one of the heads of murder is reckless indifference to human life. Carelessness is more like a form of negligence.
