Joseph Suaalii’s absence leaves a NSW centre spot up for grabs in Origin 2. This is why the South Sydney star is the standout candidate.
Intimidation, communication, defensive patience, versatility and X-factor. These are the five reasons Latrell Mitchell must be NSW’s left centre for Origin II.
Jai Arrow plays his 150th NRL games for South Sydney on Saturday afternoon, but knows his milestone will be hijacked by whatever Mitchell does. “There was a time in 2021, maybe Townsville. I flew out of the line and went to hit him as hard as I could, but I was out of my comfort zone. It ended up a mismatch.”Mitchell is one of the few players you constantly hear when watching any South Sydney training session. He was barking orders as rain fell on Friday morning at Heffron Park.
“Even his last game for Souths, he had to move into five-eighth during the game. He was spent physically, but the decisions he made in defence were excellent.”
