Latrell Mitchell may not be engaging with the media ahead of the State of Origin series opener, but his South Sydney teammates are eager to praise him.
Former Maroons forward Jai Arrow expressed hope that Mitchell plays well, but not too well, this Wednesday night.
According to reports, Mitchell will start at left centre at Suncorp Stadium, facing Maroons rookie Robert Toia.
This will mark his second Origin match since the start of the 2022 season, as injuries have previously sidelined him.
However, he is keen to make up for lost time after excelling in his appearance last year.
Mitchell's capability to grab attention is unparalleled, recently showcased by his long-range field goal against the Broncos, highlighting his ability to perform in critical moments.
Rabbitohs forward Keaon Koloamatangi remarked, "You know how he is, he's the best player in the comp.
I love playing alongside him and I'm sure he'll give the Maroons some troubles."
