In an epic twist of fate, the South Sydney Rabbitohs' star fullback, Latrell Mitchell, seems to have finally heeded the call to step up his game and focus on making NRL his top priority.
Currently serving a three-game suspension, Mitchell's rocky start to the 2024 season has been riddled with controversy and questionable decisions.
From stirring backlash over comments on racial slurs to a fiery post-match interview, Mitchell's actions have left many questioning his dedication to the Rabbitohs and his NRL career.
The third round saw him falter against the Roosters, while a regrettable incident involving Josh Addo-Carr in the fourth round only added fuel to the raging fire.
And the devastating blow came in the form of an elbow to Shaun Johnson's face, earning Mitchell a three-game ban and stirring further doubts about his commitment.
As speculations run wild and accusations fly, former player Mat Rogers has raised the stakes by suggesting that Mitchell may never hit the field again.
But in a surprising turn of events, Mitchell's recent actions may signal a turning point in his tumultuous journey - a move that hints at a newfound determination to tackle the challenges head-on and rise as a true NRL contender.
Could this be the moment where Mitchell finally emerges as the shining star he was meant to be? Only time will tell in this game of trials and triumphs.
