Bennett tells South Sydney young gun he's free to look elsewhere | SMHsport
Only two days earlier Bennett said he faced some "hard decisions" about how to squeeze the likes of Doueuhi into a back line that now features Mitchell, Campbell Graham, Braidon Burns, Dane Gagai and James Roberts.
Bennett took one look at Mitchell train on Tuesday and was clearly convinced his star recruit would more than make the successful transition to fullback in just eight weeks. "Some of the boys here have played some great football for us, but the end result is we couldn't walk past the opportunity to take Latrell," Bennett said on Monday. "This club is about success. We want to have the best team we possibly can here and we believe he [Mitchell] is going to add to what we already have."Doueihi's best hope is securing a utility role off the bench, which he could easily do given his ability to play anywhere in the back line.
Before he made his NRL debut under Maguire at Souths in 2018, Doueihi spoke glowingly about the coach and said: "Madge was pretty keen on me and he was probably the main reason why I did come here."
