Reports saying Latrell is in some hot water with the NRL over his post match interview. I haven’t heard it but apparently it’s littered with F bombs and he didn’t seem to care.

Anyone else hear it?

Here it is Chad.

Yes mate it was really poor - up to half a dozen F bombs and then gave himself a pat on the back at the end of it

Someone needs to pull him into line - but it will not happen ...
Wonder if Souths' response would have been different if it was a fringe first grader. Actually, no I don't need to wonder.

Albo apparently not happy
Albo must be racist.

Seriously though, I get sometimes a player will drop an f bomb by accident in an interview, it's happened plenty of times. This was clearly different though.

Latrell is clearly a law unto himself which is exactly what Sam Burgess pointed out when he walked out on the club last year.

This isn't going to end well for Souths.

Barring an injury it's hard to see how the $800k fatso at Manly gets back in the team.
The fact they re signed him was madness. No idea what they were thinking. If I’m manly’s coach I would be doing everything I can to move him on. Tigers were dead keen on him maybe they still are.

Re-signing him was probably OK but not for 800k, that was definitely madness.

No one will take him for that price, not even the Tigers.

What are the NRL worried about if they sanction Latrell? Are they that scared he'll cry racist?

Surely someone has to get through to him that it is simply not acceptable.

He'll complain and whinge and get upset if someone says something he'll deem as 1% racist and yet he condones swearing on live TV. He is an abolute bonehead who needs to get his **** straight and there needs to be some spine at the NRL that not only condemns him for it but suspends him.

Otherwise, and this is hard for us mere mortals to believe, he will think he can get away with it every time.

@BlackWhiteBlue I'm almost 100% sure you've had something to do with Latrell in a personal way, what are your thoughts about all of this?

Is it that big a deal? I'd much rather hear that than "yeah the boys gave 110%, full credit to them for leaving it all out on the field".

Lachlan ilias set to be dropped from south’s team for this weeks match.
Interesting. Wonder if that means Wighton into the halves?

Surely there's no way Kennar can get another game, he was such a target in d and awful with the ball too.
