In a classic case of the apprentice becoming the master, Latrell Mitchell may soon find himself back in his familiar centre position for the Rabbitohs after youngster Jye Gray stole the spotlight in just his second NRL appearance.
The ANZAC Day clash with the Storm saw the Rabbitohs fall victim to a Cameron Munster clinic, leaving coach Jason Demetriou with plenty to ponder.
The Storm's dominance was evident, with stars like Ryan Papenhuyzen and Xavier Coates wreaking havoc on the field.
Despite the Rabbitohs' struggles to contain their opponents, Gray emerged as a bright spot with his solid defensive efforts.
Despite his small stature, Gray impressed with his performance, racking up 196 metres and two tackle breaks.
His unwavering commitment to making crucial tackles was evident, highlighted by a standout moment where he took down the giant Nelson Asofa-Solomona near the try line.
As the NRL world buzzes with praise for Gray's performance, fans are left wondering if Mitchell will soon reclaim his spot in the team.
With the game constantly evolving, only time will tell if Gray's breakout performance will cement his place in the squad or if Mitchell will make a triumphant return to the field.
