In a dramatic turn of events, former NRL stars Mitchell Pearce, Todd Carney, and Mal Meninga have all weighed in on the recent controversy surrounding Latrell Mitchell.
The rugby league world was left in shock when a photo of Mitchell, allegedly showing him near a table with a mysterious white substance, surfaced without his consent.
While there is no evidence of any wrongdoing on Mitchell's part, the NRL Integrity Unit has launched an investigation into the matter.
Mitchell's ex-teammates Pearce and Carney were quick to condemn the individual responsible for taking and sharing the incriminating photo.
Pearce, in particular, called for strict action against the culprit, stating on the 'Half-Time' podcast, "I hope someone comes down hard on the person who's filming these things.
It would be good to know what the laws are around this because it's bullshit."
The photo in question was reportedly taken during Mitchell's recent visit to Dubbo, where he was involved in community work and a coaching clinic.
The image made its way to social media and news outlets, prompting South Sydney Rabbitohs to alert the NRL Integrity Unit.
As the investigation unfolds, rugby league fans are left to wonder about the implications of this incident on Mitchell's career.
Will justice be served? Only time will tell in this gripping saga of off-field drama.
