Toxic Souffs! Latrell Mitchell needs to get the Fark out of there.

[MCMLXVI]

What I am about to say is the honest truth, but I understand if you think that it's just BS created with hindsight in mind. I couldn't stand him when he played for us. Of course I admired his then talent and how he helped the team, but Blind Freddy could see, even back then, that the guy was/is a walking time bomb with a bad attitude. There is no LM in TEAM.

Not at all saying this to brag 'I could've told you'. The bloke has such a poor attitude to anything or anyone that is external, and this was obvious from the start. If he had a wise head on those shoulders he would have probably been one of the greatest. I hope that he gets fitter, wiser, and learns how to control that aggression to make it work for him, not against him. He's still got enough time to release the new and improved LMII.

Rabbitohs set to part ways with Burgess and Morris after Latrell drama


The South Sydney Rabbitohs are set to part ways with assistant coaches Sam Burgess and John Morris after a dramatic day at the embattled club.

Twenty-four hours after the Herald revealed that the two assistants were trying to hold head coach Jason Demetriou to account for a perceived special treatment of Latrell Mitchell and Cody Walker, the club is set to inform the pair their services are no longer required. The exact nature of the separation between the pair and the Rabbitohs is yet to be made clear.

Rabbitohs powerbrokers were locked in meetings for most of Tuesday, where it was expected the club would finish the rest of the season without Burgess and Morris, leaving Ben Hornby as the club’s sole assistant coach for the remainder of the year.

The final decision rests with the board, who are meeting on Tuesday night.

The swift action has come in response to the Herald’s story on Monday night that revealed there was unrest surrounding the treatment of superstars Walker and Mitchell, amid accusations the duo wield so much power that the coach wasn’t holding them to the same standards as their teammates.

The Herald reported that concerns had been driven privately by members of the club’s coaching staff, with Burgess and Morris aligned in their concerns over how Mitchell and Walker were being managed.

The article triggered further investigation by the club on Tuesday, which is set to result in Burgess and Morris being placed on gardening leave for the remainder of the season. The Herald does not suggest any wrongdoing on the part of Burgess and Morris

Burgess, a club legend given his heroics in leading South Sydney to the 2014 premiership, has signed a deal with Super League club Warrington as their head coach from next season.
Morris was off contract at the end of the season and has been linked with a return to the Wests Tigers as Benji Marshall’s offsider next year.

The Herald tried to contact Burgess and Morris on Tuesday afternoon but both their phones were switched off. South Sydney officials didn’t respond to calls.

Would love to see a final round assistant coaching cameo by Sam Burgess. Just get him in the box. Could be the edge?

[Kelby]

Mitchell had the potential to be one of the games best. Perhaps another Beetson. He was tracking well when he was at the Roosters. Robbo new how to manage him and the clubs environment helped him to develop as a player and as a man.

He moved to across to Souffs and it all goes pair shaped. It was a huge mistake however it's not too late for him to get his career and personal growth back on track. He needs to ask for a release asap! I spoke to my good friend Andrew Walker(the real one) today and he agrees.

Would you welcome him back to the Roosters? He could slot straight back into left centre and potentially play fullback when Teddy retires. If I was his manager I'd be working on an exit plan. Souffs are toxic!

I think Fatrell is toxic.
No thanks!

And better Centre . And better human

I would have to disagree with you on that one as far as the better Centre, Manu on his day is a very good Centre but when Latrell was “ON” he was devastating he used to have some outstanding defence and was unstoppable.
We just haven’t been able to replace him with a like for like replacement.

One of their favourite journos has written an article in the SMH today headlined:"Why South Sydney have gone from title pretenders to a dumpster fire"

There's an interesting story at the end about Latrell blowing up at Cam Murray at a video session.

“When I call for it, give it to me,” Mitchell said, according to those in the room.

To which Murray replied: “Most of the time, you’re not there.”

This will be controversial, but I would have Latrell back if the opportunity arose on the basis he exclusively plays at centre and is paid accordingly. Talk about the prodigal son returning . If his attitude is right he is a game changer and perhaps is the player we need to return to premiership glory . Nonetheless, there are big question marks about his attitude and arrogance. Just a thought !

Excuse the lack of editing. It’s a copy and paste.

From a Souths staffer:

Where to start. Things not real good right now. Internally we’re done. JD won’t listen to Sam- Sam said Cody along with Trell and Cookie have no heart as they spend more time on the rubbing table when they should be spending that time training and leading by example. Trell openly said to Keaon you can train like a first grader or chill with the Origin boys. Well everyone is wondering why Keaon isn’t progressing. Keaon is in real danger right now of becoming the next Dave Taylor.
Trell should have played the Broncos. He felt it would give the team the boost to make the top 4 it needed with the best player in the game returning week later. When Trell told the boys at training Arrow went for Trell telling him he has more respect for Trells shadow than he does for Trell himself. Cody and Trell not on great terms at the moment either. They clash a lot at training. It’s an old fashion stand off on who is the team leader. Lurch is stuffed. Toughest kid you’ll come across. I’ve seen him after games struggling to breathe that’s how bad his sternum is.
Sam got to Trell telling him that to win comps you play and train hurt with the boys that are doing the same for you. Trell’s reply was ‘’I have two rings Sammy you got Greggys’’. Sam then told Trell you also got 30 kg on every fullback in the comp and TommyT will be the next Origin fullback on one leg. A few more words were exchanged with Sam winning those by telling Trell he’s only a few years away from being milked like the cows on his farm because that’s how fat he’s going to be. Trell flew to Perth to watch the boys play on a different plane due the tensions between him and everyone else. While things have been mended some it’s as they say. You don’t forget.
Cam is considering rugby right now. He’s being telling JD for weeks on weeks that he’s not a front row forward, he has serious concerns for his body. He also went into fight for Blake really hard but JD wont admit to being wrong in regards to Lachy. Lachy played centre in league and outside centre in Rugby. He’s never been a half. JD’s fall out with Reyno was him telling Reyno he will turn Lachy into the next Cooper Cronk and the leader the club needs. Cookie and Lachy have formed a little friendship which has upset Cody a lot and Cody hasn’t had a problem in saying it. You will notice that Cody and Cookie rarely connect now. All Cody’s ball comes from Cam. Cookie will sell Cody the pill and stream the ball to Lachy every time.
Hosty considers himself an online presenter and rugby league player second. He’s one of the JD boys. While JD is around so to will Hosty. We all know young Tyrone should be playing in front of Taane. Again Taane is one of the JD boys.
JD has created a mess that I don’t think he can fix, Trell until now has done what ever he wanted. The culture has shifted. Sam is leaving while Benny Hornby keeps repeating as ‘’Wayne says’’.
Mark my words Sam will be South Sydney’s next head coach pending a release from Warrington. Until that happens don’t be surprised if Madge has a quick coaching stint to fill the gap until Sam returns. None of this was an issue for Russell until Sam told him 3 weeks ago he was heading back to England. Expect to see Russell around a bit more now. It would take a massive score line for JD to be punted before next year but it won’t take much to move him on next year.
It’s all happening and none of it good. If a few walk don’t be surprised. Some might be for the best. The window is shut until Sam returns.
