"I scored 100 tries so I don't give a **** what they say"

Sounds like the game was a success for Latrell then.

Most players dunno their try tally & none ever bring it up if they do. Very strange. He's got a bee in his bonnet about something obviously.

He’s just a ******* mate and a Protected species.

Yeah I thought that was odd, can't think of anyone else who'd mention something like that after a loss.

He also spoke out last week about Leniu's judiciary appearance before it happened which isn't allowed.

NRL setting the standards of what you can get away with .
Need Ricky Stuart to get interviewed leaving the field after a controversial loss and let out " five intentional F Bombs "
What could the NRL do ?

Another story going around now about Mitchell was 2 days prior to the game he was out in a nightclub until 2am 😂

Not sure why all this heat is on Demetriou for dropping Ilias.

Ilias is good but not great and there may be some parts of his game that Demetriou has asked him to work on but hasn’t developed after the first 2 rounds.

The media are beating up like Demetriou has killed Bambi or something (the Disney character, not adult entertainer).

He’s rubbish. No idea how he’s even playing Nrl.

He's a year younger than Trindall who only won our starting spot back end of last season.

Rabbitohs
2019 3rd
2020 6th
2021 3rd (runner up)
ARey leaves
2022 7th
2023 9th

Broncos
2019 8th
2020 16th
2021 14th
ARey arrives
2022 9th
2023 2nd (runner up)

See a trend? Rabbitohs needed to find the money to keep him, Ilias wasn't ready. Ilias may have only ever been intended as the bridge to Hawkins but seeing as he still hasn't won the spot outright it is a fairly big bridge. Hawkins gets a chance to win it outright now.
Kind of unfair to Ilias he is out before their star recruit plays a game, Hawkins gets to come in with him.

Wonder if Townsend's stocks just went up, in terms of a 1 yr deal somewhere 2025 back in Syd at a club like Souffs/Tigers, till their halves are ready

He failed to find touch twice, I doubt it

Either of those could be good shouts.
There is good wraps on Bud Sullivan but maybe not quite ready yet (a year younger again than Ilias). Two years of Chad could be a good bridge.
Same for Chad to bridge Souths into Jye Gray perhaps.

He'd get half or less what he is on with Cows but still good money for him.

Don't think anyone would be signing him for a perfect kicking game even before last round

Knights drop Hastings for Cogger is being reported.
I like Tyson Gamble, he's all heart but you'd put him to 14 and start the other two surely?

Unless you were convinced they couldn't work together, for sure
We've seen Hastings play competently in 13 at Tigers so not sure why he couldn't play 6 if AOB felt Cogger needed to play 7.
