The South Sydney Rabbitohs are rumoured to be gearing up for a showdown with the NRL over the timing of Latrell Mitchell's suspension, with the goal of having him ready to hit the field for Round 1 of the 2025 NRL season.
According to reports from zerotackle.com, Mitchell was slapped with a breach notice recently by the NRL, who claim his actions during a coaching clinic in Dubbo have tarnished the game's reputation.
Despite no confirmation on the details of the sanction, rumors are swirling that a one-game suspension and a hefty fine are on the horizon for the star fullback.
Having already faced setbacks this season due to injury and suspension, Mitchell's availability for next year's opener is crucial for the Rabbitohs.
With the backing of the Rugby League Players Association, the club is preparing to go to battle to ensure that Mitchell is not sidelined for the start of the 2025 season.
As the Rabbitohs gear up for this fight, all eyes will be on the outcome of this showdown between the club and the NRL.
