Accidents do happen but when it’s the same player over and over it’s no longer a accident. There’s footage of him from a young fulla to now doing absolutely shocking stuff!

[@jhjh8756]

@Nathan McCarthy never laced a boot ? Seen a real scrum? Shut the f up there’s no real scrums in league. And yes I’ve played enough not that I need to justify.the idiot looses control all the time has done all his life on the field. Off the field bloody top bloke !!! And leave the GOAT out of it he didn’t lift in the tackle

[@michaelrodwaan9604]

Not going to comment on what Latrell's intentions were. All I want to say is that I seriously can't believe that after EVERYONE saw multiple slow motion replays of the tackle, he was STILL not sent off! What?? 10 mins in the bin??? What planet?

[@michaelrodwaan9604]

Just want consistency in the game.....

[@jedmars2691]

Sent off , yes, whole planet agrees. Fox team excluding Paul crawley is milking hard - unfounded and clueless, sounding more immature than Latrell who is half their age.

[@tonylocke1214]

Don’t forget that Gus is essentially a Dinosaur. His “understanding” of the game, is based on the game as it was in the 70’s and 80’s. Surely by now, with the advances in science, and knowledge of the long term effects of head injuries, we are a more sophisticated species? These days, players are far more educated. There are by now, fewer and fewer excuses for this. Particularly, given Mitchell’s obvious contempt for the decision, and evidently being determined to prove a point, after his try, once he returned from the bin. Latrell is a phenomenal player (under the right guidance), but that doesn’t excuse him from unnecessarily violent play. This is the modern world, gladiatorial sports don’t necessitate gladiatorial conduct from two millennia ago.

You won't get high tackles and dangerous tackles out of the game but that doesn't mean those incidents should go unpunished. Agree with what kenty says here.

Crawf and Gus 🤡🤡. Why is it that the other 290 players in the NRL don’t commit dangerous tackles like that. You can be aggressive and tough, but never in the game have you been allowed to do whatever you want and be reckless or dangerous or negligent. You need to have technique, controlled aggression, discipline etc. His lack of remorse said everything and can be compared to the reactions of other tacklers that are genuinely remorseful after an accident or miscalculation.

Latrell is a professional player, if he can't put his body in a position to make a legal tackle. Then he is at fault, if accidents happen they happen because players can't control their own actions. Players have a duty of care toward each other and if you run recklessly at another player and strike them in the head then you are 100% responsible. Have we not learnt anything from repeated concussive collision to players heads and the impact this has on players??? No excuses Gus Gould, Freddy Fittler, Andrew Johns common channel 9 you blokes are looking like dinosaurs.

First I have heard of this drama four days later, sounds serious, could kill the game if I have the measure of Murdoch Fox League #MurdochRC

[@i_tearespect8190]

Too far?? In the old days,Lettrell will be carted off next time we would play him… Take him head on see how he feels to have half ur face dismantled..

[@christianlaidler5779]

Buzz and kenty make me laugh they are so stubborn and have no clue it amazes me how fox keep them on

[@aulord80]

Get Mitchell on the show to explain ,

[@mata2nz]

Use SBW as mentor to these young fullas.

[@dkjh23]

In my view Fox Sports Auz has turned into Fox news USA 🤦‍♂️

[@timlabre6806]

Cause It's Owned By Murdoch?? Aren't You Suprised

[@MrMeldarionx]

Latrell is a star is no excuse or defence.

[@barrycouda8481]

...Rugby League has become to soft for the great hits like Latrell put on Manu, to shut-down that play. ....Don't forget everyone, those kind of big hits are what made the game soo good to watch .....but soon it will probably end up being played like tag football .........!!!

[@Browni2728]

He says its ok to hit some1 to hurt them via take wind out of them etc BUT wat happens when they do that but a accident happens instead of taking the wind out of some1,??? Its the same thing

[@rainman3269]

Once a grub ... Will always revert to type ... 😏

[@InsaneTriller93_]

Ashley Klein has been saved so many times LMAO, Its crack up as that the dude in the BUNKER gets the chop rather then the on-field official that was ACTUALLY THERE LMAFO !!!!!!! So you chop the man whose no where near the field, In a digital room somewhere overlooking the Camera's to officiate a game, Rather then the actual on-field official who actually suppose to control the game, who is near the players and should be able to see everything ?, Just makes no sense at all, But then again it's NRL they just make no sense in general.

[@rapidfire409]

Nothing worse than old people complaining

[@billkumul2899]

What a crock of💩💩 it wasn't intentional it's all part of the game

[@thirstyrabbittanks2u191]

“BUZZO” da “🤡” and his little off sider, got this 100% wrong, Like chopper said “never let the truth get in the way of a good story”

[@thirstyrabbittanks2u191]

Or was it yarn

[@dannymactavish2554]

@nrl360 Latrell broke AJ brimson jaw and nothing was said. What’s so special about this?

[@harleyf19]

Paul Crawley trying to bring a bit of common sense to the discussion and Kent just goes off because it helps sell his column's.

[@shauncloudsdale7779]

Wow is this still going on, never talked as much about these injuries back in the day when the game was tougher, move on get over it the lad knows he made a mistake and has probably apologised let him move on and get on with his career. The media just want to hang this kid pretty sad really when he’s one of your best talents but It’s funny how Radley and JWH don’t get as much flack when they are being grubs 🤔

[@Ryan-ys3yd]

If you want the media to move on from something the best thing to do is not watch or comment on their videos

[@shauncloudsdale7779]

@REDFOX393 SMITH calm down sweet cheeks you obviously take things to heart and don’t like other people having an opinion

[@jacklynmiale6809]

Crawley is in point. Otherwise let this Fox crew go and commentator on lawn balls..

[@stevec8555]

Gus clearly stated that he had a friendly one hour conversation with Robinson. These commentators are liars and not worthy of trust!

[@philtomo375]

Everyone jumped on it and gave it crazy titles. But money is money I guess

[@tysonvincent3659]

It’s just a tackle going wrong you can’t half-heartedly play rugby league otherwise you will get hurt and to The cowards that are sending Luttrell Mitchell and his girlfriend difference I’m nothing but cowards

[@bradglawson4395]

No wonder y Rugby League is dying especially in the juniors cos parents won't allow their children to play due to injuries and concussion complications later in life. I tell all our kids Play golf instead 😂😂

[@user-oo4zo8yy5u]

He did what he did because he's an angry grub. He needs professional support.

[@jedmars2691]

How do you know?

[@user-oo4zo8yy5u]

@@jedmars2691 His pattern of behavior leads one to believe so.

[@jasonedwin7021]

We've all seen tackles go wrong and it won't be that last...and we've all seen players slam balls down after scoring try's, Latrell won't be last, NFL players do it all time.

[@coreyjohnston9195]

Why shouldn't he be stood down ?

[@sessi0000]

Yvonne starting to be unbearable. Bring Ennis in Fox. Yvonne makes 360 sound like every other show/panel. Bland as fk.

[@saintly8286]

Yvonne only need this big budoo I got here for her to straighten her up 😂

[@MrAndrewChung]

Rugby League is too soft now... Soccer players rostered in for next year.
