NRL star Latrell Mitchell's self-imposed ban came to light as he was noticeably absent from a post-match appearance.
While there may be good news for the Broncos with Adam Reynolds' impressive form causing a welcome headache for the team, there is also bad news as NRL fans are left wondering why they won't be hearing from Mitchell.
The situation has been described as ugly, with Daly Cherry-Evans saga taking a toll on Manly.
Andrew Johns, considered the game's greatest halfback, believes the Broncos should prioritize keeping Reynolds.
Despite initially planning to retire at the end of the year, Reynolds now wants to continue playing due to his healthy body and strong performances.
This leaves the Broncos facing a salary cap challenge, especially with Ben Hunt's impending arrival.
Reynolds' form and skills on the field make him a valuable asset, leading to a difficult decision for the team.
"He's playing as well as he ever has because his body is healthy," Joey commented on Reynolds' performance, emphasizing his strong attacking and defensive abilities.
The situation is further complicated by the signing of Hunt as a replacement for Reynolds, along with Ezra Mam set to join the team in the future.
Despite these challenges, Reynolds' continued success on the field suggests that he still has a lot to offer in the NRL.
In contrast, Mitchell's absence raises questions and concerns among fans who are eager to hear from the talented player.
The self-imposed ban adds a layer of mystery to the situation, leaving many wondering about the reasons behind his decision.
Meanwhile, the ongoing drama surrounding Cherry-Evans and Manly highlights the turmoil within the NRL community.
As the season progresses, these storylines continue to unfold, shaping the future of the league and its players.
