South Sydney's Latrell Mitchell in hot water

[hugh1954]

Bunnies fans are absolutely delusional it's actually incredible. The amount of comments saying the NRL only did it "cause he's aboriginal", "wasn't even anything in it", "NRL are cheats suspending trell so papenhuyzen can get dally m". Absolute scenes.

Dont be surprised there maybe an appeal because the judiciary panel were racist and didnt display ethnic diversity. These days i would not be surprised by anything

I’m glad his appeal failed but fact remains he stayed on the field after an act which he copped 4 weeks for.

The Judiciary appear to have found a backbone. And that in the face of the Souths media cheer squad trying their best to influence the outcome in their poster boy Trell's favour!

Jack Hetherington's charge was also 3 weeks I think but got 2 due to his record, he was sent off whereas Mitchel with the same charge but with intent stayed on the field.

The word thug is a race baiting term. If you don't mean anything racial by it just don't use it. Simple. You can google as much information on the subject as you want te educate yourself. The connotation is what it is and if you don't want to come across racially insensitive just don't use the term. There is no need to come out swinging when someone merely attempts to clue you in that the term has racial connotation.

I would have thought on a forum where people get banned for mild swears that this sentiment would get more support. Particularly given we support a club that is branding itself as inclusive to indigenous people.

What a load of the bollocks

Took the words right out of my mouth.

I'm seriously shocked that he didn't get 1week.
Good onya panel!!! (Especially Lindner who is an ex-Westie).
It's a hollow victory for us but at least it's some medicine and, hey, win-win, coz he actually wanted to go bush and do some pig-shooting anyway.
I'll be happier if he nails some ferral rabbits.

Still dumbfounded that we didn’t receive a single penalty for any of latrells fouls...

Like what was the bunker thinking when they saw a Clear kick at garner! By all reports it missed him although it looks like he copped something, but enough was shown in the replays for a penalty let alone a sinbinning especially after the two earlier incidents. Like what does garner have to do to get a penalty? Get his face split open? That one decision changed the whole game.

Ref didn’t think twice to send Talau offf but we have 3 late dirty shots at us by the same player and not one penalty.

The 4 weeks suspension doesn’t help us.

Souths fed the win..

Still don’t believe burges controlled that final try. The fact you gotta slow it down that much to check. Watch it normal speed and he has no control.

Have to say, but most of the posts leading up to the verdict in this thread were embarrassing. The NRL hadn’t even done anything and they were copping it for being bias and accused of only giving LM a slap on the wrist. The whole “everything is a conspiracy, the world is against us” is beyond tiring. He was never going to beat it. As for LM, contesting the charge when clearly guilty, so do murderers. If there’s any chance you can beat it, you’re gonna try,

Guilty 4 weeks suspension.

Only....

Guilty 4 weeks suspension.

Only....

Correct decision they really couldn’t go any other way they would have been ridiculed big time and they knew it. It’s about time the NRL grew some kahoonas and I applaud them.

After the king hit on Reynolds debacle from last year people had every right to be wary.

I thought the racist card would be played.

After the Roosters used the head high on Garner from last year by Mitchell as an example of a lenient decision and getting Radley off that was the end of the rabbits case. I’m gunner like the roosters for today only!

Should send free pizzas to his door every night for the next 4 weeks.

“If Latrell Mitchell deserves 4 weeks on the sideline for that incident, I am an astronaut,” Gould tweeted.
“This game just keeps finding ways to make a fool of itself. Really? 4 weeks?

Is Gould right? Is it possible the judiciary panel are trying to put a stop to his poor on field Argo behaviour?

 

[Telltails]

I didn't think it was worth 4 weeks. Interesting that the Roosters in their defence used an incident involving Mitchell and Garner the year before - another reckless tackle. How that was allowed before Mitchell faced the judiciary is absurd - would have to influence them to a degree.

I look forward to watching Gus walk on the moon.

4 weeks is a good punishment.
