What are the latest opinions on Latrell Mitchell's performance?
But I'd like to think that the coaches at this level would have a duty of care.
Oh, mate, I can tell you they don't. There will be a reckoning one day in this game.
G'day, welcome to Kenny Blitz, your daily hit of NRL news. Kenny, we're back. We've made it to another day. I tell you, it's been an exhausting couple of days talking about the Dragons, so they are on the list, but we're not going to try and talk about it. They're on the list, Warren, and they're going to stay on the list. We'll see if we get to them. Well, no, we will get to them. Okay, we'll get to them.
How is the Melbourne Storm addressing their recent struggles?
People have been saying to me, mate, how are you going with Warren? Don't you know he's on the St. George board?
What impact do key injuries have on the NSW team?
I'm not on the St. George board.
I'm on the district board. Very different. Very different.
What are the expectations for the Broncos vs Bulldogs match?
I know what I'm saying. Well, you know what, mate, put your crash helmet on because we might be going again.
What are the new NRL training limits and their implications?
Very good. Very good.
Let's start off with Latrell Mitchell. And last week, Kenty, you came out and said he should be concerned about Wayne playing here at centre rather than full-back.
Yeah, and I copped a barrage.
How are injuries affecting the NRL teams this season?
And you copped a barrage, and then he went out and scored four tries. Four tries, yeah. So I'm expecting some tips from the South Sydney fans for getting him back into form.
What changes are being proposed to reduce player injuries?
Look, no, seriously, don't take that serious. Look, I'm not going to argue with whatever people said. I know there was a lot of comments about it that were relayed to me before I just said, look, I don't need to hear any more. The fact is, Warren, I stand by what I said. I didn't critique his game from his weekly input in any way other than to say it must be a concern for him
What are the potential long-term effects of current NRL policies?
that he's not the first choice fullback. Then when they got their first choice fullback injured, rather than Wayne Bennett say, well, Latrell, you go back to fullback, Wayne Bennett had enough concerns to go not only to really reserve rate, but to a guy outside their top 30 who hasn't played NRL for four years. who was only signed to a state cup contract, not an NRL contract. Five grand contract. $5,000 contract. He picked him in front of Luttrell because he didn't think Luttrell could do the job. Now, that doesn't mean anything. Luttrell's playing great footy at centre. That was never in dispute. But where it's a concern for Luttrell, and this is all I raised, is one, why wasn't he picked there? What did Wayne see?
And it's a concern for Luttrell because every time he goes to the contract table, he says, I want full-back money. And he tries to negotiate full-back money. And his manager will try to negotiate full-back money. But he scored four tries, Kenton. Well, if he keeps scoring four tries, he'll get full-back money at centre. So he solved the problem. Yeah. But it wasn't criticism. Everyone wants to turn everything. This is what gives me the shit sometimes is everything's got to be so black and white. There's no critical thinking about things. No people say, well, you know what? Some people do. Yeah. Oh, he might have a point about that. Oh, I can see what he's saying there. It's just like, oh, you bagged Latrell.
I'm going to bag you. And off they go. And it's, look, that's just part of life, I suppose. But it's not about that. It's about just trying to have an intelligent conversation sometimes and just pointing out. Like for Latrell to sit there and continue to be the top dog, he's got to put himself in that frame. He's got to be concerned also that Wayne didn't do that. Now, that said, his performance on the weekend, was really good. And he was the guy on the field on the weekend. And what he did, it was quite embarrassing the way he embarrassed Val Holmes defensively. The way he went out and became and made it clear that he was the alpha male in the South Sydney team, and he bullied the Dragons. And the Dragons just sat there meekly and copped it, which is a real – like that's something that Dean Young has got to fix straight away.
That they sat there and watched Latrell just stand over him, push him around, throw them around – basically dared them to do something back to retaliate, and no one in that side had it within them to say, hey, Latrell, mate, you've stepped out of the line here.
