Latrell Mitchell's Instagram post added fuel to the fire as rumours swirled around the NSW star, causing a stir in the rugby league community.
Despite being left out of the NSW squad by coach Michael Maguire, Mitchell made it clear that he is true blue and eager to represent his state.
Maguire's decision to overlook Mitchell for the squad came as a surprise to many, especially with injuries affecting the centre position.
Just days before the announcement, Mitchell had publicly declared his availability for selection, only to be left out in the cold.
Speculation intensified after reports of a secret meeting between Mitchell and Maguire emerged, suggesting that the coach may have had doubts about the player's commitment to the team.
Maguire emphasized the importance of having hungry players in his squad during interviews, hinting at the qualities he values in a player.
Amidst the discussions about Mitchell's future with the Blues, legendary Queensland player Cooper Cronk weighed in on the situation, adding to the ongoing debate about Mitchell's mindset and dedication to the game.
The rugby league world is abuzz with talk about Mitchell's next move and whether he will bounce back from this setback.
