A tale of two apologies: Rod Churchill’s epic fail in saying sorry to Latrell Mitchell

Churchill committed no crime with his incendiary take down of the South Sydney fullback, but the cover-up is becoming almost Seinfeldian.

Rod Churchill committed no crime with his incendiary take down of South Sydney fullback Latrell Mitchell, but the cover-up is becoming almost Seinfeldian.

“I am writing to you to formally apologise for the newspaper comments attributed to me over the weekend. If you do not accept my apology I fully understand,” Churchill wrote in an apology on Monday night. “I admit my comments were a bit brutal, but it was said out of frustration and passion for the club, and for that I am sorry. I am also very embarrassed it was leaked to the media.

Pappas confirmed to this masthead that he didn’t share the text message, nor did it contain any reference to “cancer”. Souths and the Roosters meet in the final round of the season on Friday night, with the winner likely to sneak into the top eight.
