There's a saying in psychology "every abnoxious act is a cry out for help", his on the field outburst reflects what's happening off the field. Latrell is a great athelte, a good team player, obviously a family and culture person too. Bro, just shut out the outside noise, focus on your intrinsic worth and be the best version of yourself. You got nothing to prove to anyone just be accountable to yourself. Great interview.

Am not a NSW supporter but I admire him for his principles, not afraid to express his views

I'm a Queenslanded and not even a rabbit's fan but God I hope he doesn't leave rugby league he's a legend

[@Laurenzo-3twelve]

They label this legend a grub but he's what most rugby league players strive to be. A F**KN Competive CHAMPION of a player who leaves his heart on his sleeve and gives it 110% while representing to the fullest his culture and shows his passion week in week out without ANY fear 😤💯 What a GUN he is on & off the pitch. Softcocks love to hate him yet forget how brutal this game is physically and mentally week in week out. TRELL MIT is a true inspiration for so many.

It’s great that he’s said his piece. No doubt I’ve been a critic, from my armchair! And, rightly or wrongly, I am judging him again watching this. Happy to say, I reckon this is really refreshing. I’ll definitely pull my head in with my criticism of his game. The position he’s in wouldn’t be easy. No question though, when he’s on, he’s a phenomenal footy player. Good onya mate, glad to hear ur perspective. Cheers mate 👍🍻🎯🇦🇺

[@JayYoung313]

That same line “shut up and play”. People forget that professional athletes are human too… the man only stuck up for his beliefs, family and culture and got hated on. Those same people who hated on him are insecure and obviously threatened for what ever reason & offended. The man is genuine and they created that negativity around him. Can’t blame a young man who then lashes out on the footy field the way he does because it’s probably the only place where he lets his frustrations out physically because of all the media pressure. Appreciate this man for what he does for kids in communities and for the kids who get bullied ❤️

[@KEEGZ90..]

Were can I watch full interview

[@user-vb5xn7ok2l]

The press is a big part of the problem, pandering to his every whim, then when he falls short, they want to crucify him. Good example was Paul Gallen after origin2. The first interview Gal did was Latrell, & he made it sound as though he was the star of the show. That's not Latrells fault. There were quite a few players that had a greater impact, & had they been interviewed 1st, it would have seemed more balanced, but the backlash to the press overhyping , puts a lot of unnecessary pressure on Latrell.

[@Jimmyjim4]

[@thvtsydneylyf3th077]
