In a classic case of 'no harm, no foul', Souths sensation Latrell Mitchell has finally addressed his expletive-laden radio interview, insisting there was "no malice" in his words.
Mitchell, known for his powerful runs and flashy footwork on the field, emphasized that it's time to "move on" from the incident.
Responding to a post on Fox League's Instagram, which featured teammate Cam Murray's spirited defense of him, Mitchell took to social media to address the controversy surrounding his interview on Triple M.
Despite calls for sanctions from some quarters, the NRL has decided not to penalize Mitchell for his colorful language on air.
Reports have emerged that NRL CEO Andrew Abdo reached out to Souths CEO Blake Solly to set up a meeting with Mitchell to address any concerns about his behavior.
While the interview may have caused a stir with its 164,000 views on social media, it seems that Mitchell will escape any official reprimand from the league.
In true Aussie spirit, Mitchell seems eager to put this episode behind him and focus on what really matters - his performances on the field.
In the words of the great Rugby League legends, it's time to "hit the reset button" and get back to playing the game.
