Rabbitohs superstar Latrell Mitchell has slammed Roosters fans for continually booing him during the club’s final round clash at the brand-new Allianz Stadium.
The 25-year-old superstar made the switch from the Tricolours to Souths ahead of the 2020 season after winning two premierships under Trent Robinson.
Since his move, the gun fullback has been the subject of boos from Roosters faithful which peaked after he was sent to the sin bin on Friday night — labelling the crowd’s sentiment “f**king s**t”.
“It’s a bit disappointing. Once or twice or when I’m kicking goals, then definitely (it’s OK),” Mitchell said to the The Daily Telegraph.
“But every run was a bit disappointing.
“You see with big Nelson with the Parramatta supporters, it’s f***ing sh*t, to be honest.”
Mitchell went on to liken his situation to that of AFL legend Adam Goodes, whose career was cut short after continually copping it around the country by fans.
“Adam Goodes gave up his career because of it,” Mitchell said.
“It’s not nice because we cop it every day as it is, and regardless of what happens on the field, it stays on the field. They have control over what they do off (the field) when they come watch a game.
“They can be passionate, but there are different ways on the spectrum of that. It’s expected. It’s warranted.”
While he is clearly fed up with the crowds continual booing, the NSW representative confirmed his career wouldn’t be coming to a premature end.

Same mould as Mundine
Talks himself up and brings attention to himself and then plays the race card when something doesn't go his way
Scott...you're a Nabiac boy...my family grew up in Nabiac, before moving to Cundletown when I was 3.
And I agree with the other stuff you have said here...
Next he's going to bring up the race card...
they boo you cause you used to be a rooster and you did manu dirty last year...its as simple as that
By mentioning Goodes he is already inferring it is a racial issue not the fact that he is a f- wit.
When you refer to yourself as a Ferrari you open yourself up for attacks
Only narcissists refer to themselves in the third person
Jason has spoken
Jason sound like a more sound bloke than that bunnies player.
You see with big Nelson with the Parramatta supporters, it’s f***ing sh*t, to be honest.” lol what a clown... to make a comparison with Goodes is laughable
Latrell Mitchell is fast becoming Anthony Mundine 2.0. He is heading to grade A dope territory. One week "we are entertainers" next week "dont boo me" boo hoo. Further to bring Adam Goodes issues into this shows he aint the sharpest tool in the shed.
Latrell hot tip play football for souths and STFU. Maybe he needs a few uppercuts from Sven Ottke
Agreed - and Mundine was a first rate F wit. Sorry but i still don't forget the way he handled himself.
Pathetic from Latrell, but typical.
See ya Latrell - what an absolute flog of a human.
They are booing you cause:
1: you dogshotted Manu.
2. You left the Roosters for the mortal enemy.
Get over yourself and just play the game. It's good to be hated and in league and it should motivate him to push himself harder to succeed.
