Sick of the Latrell talk

[4 the all in brawl]

KIng Salvo we barely hear from you for ages. Yet you come back in here after a long absence only to criticise the club.

It's pretty obvious he is a Souffs supporter...

[4 the all in brawl]

Chooks have handled this very poorly - he Latrell is entitled to field offers from 1/11/2019 and apparently that is what he told Robbo who seemingly had no problem with it - all that had be done then was okay test the market but we need a response by xx/xx/2019 and not withdraw the offer - Chooks threw their toys out of the cot.- very poor

Go back to the burrow and take Latrell with you ya grub.....

I agree yet again with you Micky Lane, it was a good fight and Choc did have a go - a big go for his age. He was no dud either as a footballer or a pug - plenty of times I saw him carve the Roosters of yesteryear up - strong and perpetual motion. Never saw Freddy get the better of him either. Most of the posters here and elsewhere don't get him, he is/was a showman who provokes mugs for the big payout and he was very good at doing that because they're still upset after all this time. I also agree that the possibility of Trell going to the "Pride of the League" (that moniker is also gee up surely?) is no bad thing. Where would we be without Souths to hate? I went to the South's reinstatement rallies because I couldn't get anywhere near as gameday dirty on the Bulldogs or Saints (maybe the Sharks came closest but a long way short). I spent years watching Bobby McCarthy bust Easts out wide and run 60m at the Sportsground and the hope that they might be somehow beaten (McCarthy, Stevens or Sait might be injured or something) the next time sustained interest much the same as GB test matches used to do back in the day.

Think your issue might be is the Chooks didn't handle it like you grubs at the vermin, we were upfront when we told him his contract extension was withdrawn , something a employer has the right to do if there not happy with an employee , they will pay out his last year being 2020 if he stays , but not sure what grade he will play .
Ps employee if your not sure means someone that has a job , off to centrelink with ya

Except it has been reported that he had agreed to that $800K. Also, I don't agree they have thrown their toys out of the cot. They have moved on. And thank god for that. Imagine how embarrassing it would be if we were still in the mix being played like Wests are.

Mate its always been atrio Carr will go to Souffs or try too from Day 1 like Ive said before Mr handshake is behind both him and latrell and used theWalker to talk him into it and Latrell said it from day 1....Uncle Nick ..listen to me let the prick go now ...fark him ...Souffs will come last ...Bennett has lost the plot and souffs cant get rid of him quick enough.

I know you & others on here hate Souths but to say they will come last & that Bennett has lost the plot & that Souths can’t get rid of him quick enough is just fantasy stuff. They will be in the top 4 next year mark my words.
I can’t wait till the Chooks play them & if Latrell , JOC & Arrow are playing for them all the better.
Go the Mighty Roosters.

[Mickie Lane]

You make some valid points, well let’s compare them physically
(I’m using the Roosters website for my information)
Smith
Age 20
Height 191cm
Weight 99kgs

Lats
Age 22
Height 193cm
Weight 102kgs

Almost identical considering Smith is about to put in a whole pre season I imagine he will add some more size has pace has shown he can break tackles and found the line in both his starts this year vs Dragons and Souths his defence is suspect and not through not trying it’s an attitude he needs to learn and will do he’s switched on, however we all know Latrell has the lapses in D also I know every team has grubby players but some of the rubbish Lats dishes up can cost us games thankfully the resilience of our great team has been able to deal with his stupid football and he is never switched on for the entirety of a game Smith doesn’t have this in his game, but he wouldn’t kick a field goal in golden point to win a match to offset this I believe with some work Smith can bring consistency, work ethic, concentration and footy smarts to our team, give him 1-2 full seasons he will be a top flight centre I’m confident he will be able develop a great passing game has the Joey Manu extender arms so offloads seem like they would be a natural skill to his game can he do the freakish things Lats can perhaps not but if he puts in week in week out we have other brilliant players in our team to compensate give him some time.

Teddy you mightn’ t like grubby players but I love them & so do the rep coaches that’s why JWH, Josh McQuire, Paul Gallan, Latrell, Slater, Big Sammy Boy & countless others make the rep teams. It’s a violent game that has violent blokes playing it & if your not gonna get violent you’ll be playing soccer. The biggest reason I watch & love the game is to see men getting down & dirty.

I love the grub mate JWH is my fave player atm has been for some time thing is he has learnt to control the aggression much better now then he used to Lats just does dumb stuff you think to yourself wtf mate why? I love when he smashes blokes runs over the top the silly things in his game he needs to get rid of some of the stuff Latrell does is beyond grub it’s stupid mate like niggling shit the collaring shirt pulling stuff having second goes while players are on the ground that’s rubbish mate, I know it’s a fine line and he most prolly will grow out of it just as Jared has.

Thats what the coaches like. It puts the opposition players off their game & thats why they get picked to play rep footy. There is no way on Gods earth would Robbo tell Latrell to stop it.

[crikey chris]

I think that when they eventually play him there will be a massive target on his chest.

If he doesn't get FB position at souffs, Latrel vs Manu would be interesting. Manu got the points for the kiwis last year

[Mad_Rabid_Rooster]

Agree mate, and that will apply regardless of what position he plays in or what clubs he plays for.

[Mickie Lane]

Yeah but he's champion once in a lifetime player that thrives on that. Put a target on his back at you own peril.
He will play SOO & for Australia for the next 8 years no matter which club he plays for.
