During a crucial passage of play, Mitchell's performance was epitomized in one moment, where he was reduced to a mere bystander.
As the lightning-fast Sione Katoa sprinted down the right wing, Mitchell was left standing in awe as the Rabbitohs fullback failed to contain him.

This incident proved to be a perfect representation of Mitchell's struggles throughout the game.
The NRL community was quick to voice their frustrations and disappointment, as they expected more from the talented player.
Mitchell's inability to contain Katoa and prevent his charge towards the tryline only added fuel to the already fiery backlash.
