Some lightning-quick hands shifting the ball to the wing was applauded by Souths fans who were never going to miss Latrell's first run in red and green.
All it took was some lightning-quick hands to shift the ball out to his winger and Latrell Mitchell instantly won over a small group of South Sydney fans who were never going to miss their new pin-up put through his paces for the first time at Redfern Oval.
"Latrell has made a decision he's happy with. He has some good mates he's played with here and he's a big plus for our team.
"Having watched Latrell's Instagram account he's been pretty active,'' Cook said. "I think he'll be happy here. For a young kid who has done so much at the club [Roosters] he did, he's got a new challenge now in front of him, and I'm looking forward to being a part of it. "If Latrell plays fullback, to have a player like him up the middle, he'll only create good quick play-the-balls and we'll play off the back of that."
Cook caught up with Mitchell in his hometown of Taree before Christmas when he was one of several Blues to attend a bushfire community event.
