Mitchell ends bitter year-long feud with Robinson and Roosters | mrchrisnico
Rabbitohs star Latrell Mitchell and Roosters coach Trent Robinson didn’t speak for 12 months as the bitter fallout from last year’s Joey Manu incident drove an even greater wedge between the NRL arch rivals.
Robinson was seething after last year’s highly charged round 24 game when Mitchell smashed Manu in the face and subsequently ended both their seasons due to injury and suspension. “I was definitely grateful to be able to embrace Robbo and [Roosters supremo] Nick Politis for sure. There’s still a lot of feeling with what I’ve been able to achieve there, and I guess the journey I started on gave me the opportunity to be me.Latrell Mitchell and Roosters chairman Nick Politis embrace last Friday night at Allianz Stadium.“It was nice to see him and have a yarn and not talk footy. That was the first time we had spoken. It was nice.
Meanwhile, Mitchell said he was looking forward to taking on Joseph Suaalii for the first time. The teen wonder is keen to one day realise his fullback dream, but that will not happen while the game’s premier No.1, James Tedesco, is at the Roosters. Tedesco said at Monday’s NRL finals launch that Suaalii had time on his side when it came to making the move to fullback.
