The Indigenous All Stars game looks set to remain at the start of the year – and that should be good news for Latrell Mitchell.
I’ve had a front-row seat to greatness and madness in my time as the Herald’s chief sports writer.
Some players put their names up in lights,others just put themselves under the spotlight. We rate all the defining moments of the season.
The NRL will make Latrell Mitchell serve a one-match ban next year – not Friday night against the Sydney Roosters.
The Rabbitohs’ star player will now wait until round one of next year to sit out a match,but his club still believe he’s fit enough to take on the Roosters this week.
He is a special player capable of doing things on the field others can’t,but he is not providing value for money for Souths.
His teammates knew how much just being there meant to the club after the death of his mother – and it might be a valuable lesson for the Rabbitohs’ most influential star.
South Sydney hit their highest-paid player with a record $100,000 fine as he runs out of chances at the club. But it’s still no clearer when he’ll serve his one-game ban from the NRL.
The Rabbitohs superstar was summoned to an early morning meeting at South Sydney’s headquarters to explain his off-field behaviour.
As the South Sydney fullback fronts the club’s board over the “white-substance” scandal,it’s clear he needs to take responsibility for his own career.
South Sydney fullback has accepted the sanction proposed by the governing body – but the question of when he will serve his suspension remains unanswered.
