Latrell implies booing him is racist

[Danish]

Robbo defending latrell and asking fans not to boo him is honestly weak sauce and I’ve lost some respect for him over it.

By all means don’t encourage it, but just make the standard arguments that Gallen and Wally used to make at origin time that they took being booed as a mark of respect.

all these articles have just proven latrell really is upset by it, and it is going to happen far more tomorrow than last week now. I for one will be doing my part

If you don't get stood down for that, no matter your cultural background, the NRL has sunk to a new low.
She's only been able to play in the NRLW comp as an equal human being because of the rights and liberties for women that were hard fought for by many people from all races starting with the students from Sydney University and their Freedom Ride bus tour of rural NSW long ago, where they were abused and assaulted, knocked off their feet etc by their white brothers and sisters.
All the proposed rights and liberties laws and Acts passed in the parliament and basically signed into law by the Queen.

She is playing tomorrow

Trent and Nick are worried the club may be seen as racist if their fans boo at Latrell. Unfortunately, despite all Latrell has done against this club he has also done a lot for the club.

The only answer is to BOO them all.

Especially Jai Arrow

No surprise...given the way things are in the world today.

No...but the adoring love is going way too far.
And as for Nick hugging Latrell on the field, that's even worse!

Trent and Nick could've just said:
"Hello Latrell, how's the faaamily?...hope they are well" and kept walking.

Nick and Robbo can and will do exactly what they want do to and what they feel is right.

Pauline Hanson really gave the Greens senator a serve for saying she didn't mourn the Queens death. Same Pauline Hanson who supported Israel Folau's homophobic comments and the right of freedom of speech. Go figure

Trent Robinson and Nick Politis bear no grudges against Latrell Mitchell.

"Latrell Mitchell copped a hostile reception from Roosters fans last weekend, but he enjoyed a different experience when face to face with the Bondi brains trust."

Charming!

I'm sorry I'm going to the game tomorrow.
We had to make the new stadium a cauldron that opposition teams and players would be unsettled at.
Now I find out that our brains trust seems to be making Latrell feel all happy and loved.

Wonder how great their love will be tomorrow when he feels so adored by his opponents and settled that he leads Souths to victory and boots us out of the finals?

I've paid for the ticket so I'll be there...but I wish this article had been written earlier.

They won 2 premierships together.
I dont know about you BB but I havnt experienced that and my guess would be, there would be some sort of bond still there after achieving something so big.

Robbo coming out and asking fans not to boo just shows how fragile Latrell really is...never seen anything like this... has an opposition coach ever come out and told fans not to boo the opposition players before? In any sport? Latrell is fine with slamming the ball down on our players, beating his chest and yelling at the crowd after he scores but god forbid he gets it back... weak as piss and Robbo shouldn’t have said a word... this is high school drama BS... his a drama queen and needs to grow a pair before swinging his dick around.

There are a few people like that around at the moment. The left hand doesn't realise what the right hand is doing.

The only time I booed was when Daly Cherry-Evans got the Clive Churchill medal and even then it was only for a few seconds and I didn't feel right about it.

It's the thuggery of what he did to Joey that people are objecting to. Crowds don't like nasty players. That's why Parra fans booed Nelson a few weeks back. One of the commentators said "What's he done now?"

my biggest concern with Robbo coming out like he has and telling fans to leave him alone is that Robbo obviously is worried about the mental health of Latrell over it (which is fine) but I hope that doesn’t mean he is going to ask the players to do the same... the way the Boys bullied Latrell last week is one of the major reasons we won.

Why is that when bullies get found out, we have to worry about THEIR mental health? They have no qualms about dishing it out relentlessly but when the tables are turned, they get all precious. It happened on this very forum the other day in the away from the game section. Selective memories..

No surprise...given the way things are in the world today.

Perhaps if the young woman had expressed her views and concerns in a valid and articulate manner, rather than just hurling expletives about a deceased 96 year old lady, then perhaps people would have taken notice of her point of view. But no, another tantrum chucker..

Mitchell is a bighead and deserved everything he got last week, but Trent is right.....we need to focus on winning the game and continuing to BOO Mitchell is a waste of time. The pressure is on him anyway, just smash him and CHEER our guys when they make him look stupid.

Oh I agree 1000%.. he is like the big bully who cries to Mum and dad after one of his victims fights back one day.

Indeed.

He's there to be tackled and smashed legally every time he gets the ball...gang-smashed legally too...no matter his race, no matter his "feelings", no matter his politics or anything else.
It's how the big, strong, fast Raiders beat the Storm.


So what is it now in rugba leeg, the crowd can only boo players of "White European appearance"?
