In a decision that has left fans cheering, Latrell Mitchell has managed to dodge a suspension, proving once again that his tough and aggressive style is just what the doctor ordered.
The South Sydney star's explosive comeback in the State of Origin arena has been met with praise, as he played a pivotal role in the Blues' impressive victory over Queensland at the MCG.
After being left out of the series opener by Michael Maguire, Mitchell made sure to leave his mark on the game by scoring a try, setting up another, and causing chaos for the Maroons in both defence and attack.
His physicality was on full display during a moment in the second half when he expertly manhandled Maroons' superstar Reece Walsh, showing off his strength and dominance on the field.
Although Mitchell was put on report for a high shot on Murray Taulagi in the first half, the punishment did not match the crime as he only received a Grade 1 careless high tackle charge.
This means he will only face a fine for the incident, allowing him to remain available for the crucial Game Three at Suncorp Stadium next month.
Overall, Mitchell's performance has once again proven why he is a force to be reckoned with in the rugby league world, and fans can't wait to see what he has in store for the upcoming games.
In the world of rugby league, Mitchell's act was nothing short of perfection, a true display of grit and determination that has solidified his status as a true legend in the sport.
