The son of rugby league Immortal Clive Churchill, has called out South Sydney for pampering Latrell Mitchell, telling The Sydney Morning Herald, the star player is “lazy” and “the catalyst” for the club’s “implosion.”
Mitchell has come under fire as the Rabbitohs face the real prospect of missing the finals amid the drama that has engulfed the club which led to Rabbitohs legend Sam Burgess walking out due to reported preferential treatment given to Mitchell and Cody Walker.
“I don’t think he has delivered as a fullback at all,” Rodney Churchill said. “Souths have not won a competition in his time, and they’ve had the team to do it. In my view, he has not put in 100 per cent effort.
“The way he has been treated has had a negative effect on the whole club. In my view, Mitchell has been the catalyst for this whole implosion. The whole situation has backfired. Gus [Phil] Gould came out and said a few things about him [Mitchell] not delivering. He was proved right.”
Churchill says the coach has got it wrong when it comes to Mitchell.
“He is the world’s best centre and is totally out of position as fullback,” he said. “The coach has got it wrong. He [Mitchell] is too lazy and doesn’t have the physique to be a fullback.”
