Latrell not available for SOO.. should he be stood down from vermin

[The Lip]

i think its quite commendable of latrell in this instance , and one his more mature decisions. seems he is putting his club forst after they have shelled out a big load of cash for his injury , it will also hush the noise around his potential selection .

for what its worth i think s.crichton should be dropped and j.wighton selected . bit im a kiwi , what would i know ?

Agree

[Andrew Walker]

Nothing more than a PR stunt thought up by the club in an effort to improve his image and profile. As per usual most fall for this bullshit

[Rooster R]

Fatrell did it because he did not want to get embarrassed when he was not picked, what a wanker!

[Rooster1908]

You wouldn't be saying that if it were an Easts player making themselves unavailable. Lattrell is a champion player in a top club.

Go the Chooks.

Wow didn't see that coming .You ok Jack .Top club

Well his namesake in a round about way did coach them for 2 years

Haha yeah mate....it was my satirical attempt for Mick to see what we have to usually read from him.

You shouldn't be forced to vote.
You shouldn't be forced to play SOO if you don't want to.

If players don't want to play Origin, with a chance to shine and then play for Australia, best not to force them.
Just choose players who are begging to play Origin.
Players who'd be proud and excited to do.

Fatrell is having a wank in his mind. he wasn't even selected, so his stepping down act is ridiculous. He did nothing in that game which would have got him selected.

I dont think the selectors would have been judging on just one game.
if he got through and was fit that would probably be enough.
if you were coach and he was fit would you pick him?

That's a hard one because I hate the big headed wannker. I don't think I would change a winning team to put him in based on that performance, and on not playing for 11 weeks. He has a big enough head, and I think Burton earned his spot, I think Wighton will come back in.

Your opinion is still valid though mattyh. I don't care about Origin either because I was born up there and live down here..the outcome is not relevant to me either as long as no Roosters players are hurt or suspended. I really don't think it's part of a player's club contract that they must be available to play Origin if they are in the pool of eligible players. The Origin coaches should be speaking to the club coaches first and say to them something along the lines of I'm looking at players A, B & C from your club for Origin..are they available?

It is a hard one.
I'd push Burton into Lui's 6 and hand latrell left centre.
Changing a winning team is not the go but I feel this would strengthen the blues big time and allow Burton to give the queensland back 3 ongoing nightmares with his spiral bombardment.

I'd pardon anyone in those conditions.

Another Latrell thread? I suppose it’s been a month or so.

None of you seem to remember Freddy standing down from Origin? (He has come out recently to say he regretted it)

Latrell can do what he wants. He owes his club to fight for a finals spot. Good on him
