“I’m expecting Latrell and Cody to make the team. I think they’re good enough players and they’ve shown before they should make the team.
“I know who I wouldn’t want to be playing against if I was playing.”
But Mitchell faces a nervous wait as the match review committee looks over the hip-drop tackle that led him to the sin bin just before half-time.

Mitchell looked perplexed at the decision,and said it was out of his hands.
While the Rabbitohs recorded their second win of the season,the pain continues for Parramatta,who suffered a seventh loss in eight games.
Interim head coach Trent Barrett said an error-riddled opening 20 minutes proved costly.

“We just made it too hard for ourselves to chase 22 points. It’s extremely difficult,doesn’t matter who you play,” Barrett said.
“We invited them into the game there at the start – two unforced errors from our back five – that’s something we need to fix. It wasn’t a great start.”
However,some reprieve might be on the way for Parramatta,with Barrett confirming he will name both skipper Clint Gutherson and halfback Mitchell Moses for the clash against Cronulla next week.
“They both ran really well yesterday,so I’ll name them[next week],and we’re very confident they’ll both play.”
