Latrell Mitchell's outstanding performance in the recent match against the Brisbane Broncos has garnered high praise from his teammates, positioning him as a key figure in the South Sydney Rabbitohs' 22-14 victory.
In what is considered one of the best matches of his 176-game NRL career, Mitchell excelled in both offense and defense, particularly in the absence of notable players like Alex Johnston, Cameron Murray, and Cody Walker.
The fullback's standout moments included kicking a remarkable 50-metre match-winning two-point field goal and making two crucial try-saving tackles against opponents Deine Mariner and Payne Haas.
To cap off his stellar performance, he secured the win with a late try.
With the NSW Blues team announcement pending, Mitchell's teammates have drawn comparisons between his impact on the field and that of NBA star Steph Curry, referring to him as one of rugby league's "generational players."
As the Rabbitohs prepare to face the Wests Tigers on Sunday, Mitchell's contributions and leadership highlight his importance to the team, reinforcing his status as a key player in the league.
