In a stunning turn of events, Latrell Mitchell has found himself in hot water once again, with reports emerging of a fresh ban being handed down to the Rabbitohs star.
NRL legends are adamant that Mitchell must face the music and not be allowed to escape the consequences of his actions.
According to reports from news.com.au, Mitchell has been banned from returning to his farm in regional NSW, adding to the growing scrutiny surrounding the South Sydney player.
The 26-year-old has accepted a three-match ban for a dangerous contact charge, stemming from an incident where he lifted his elbow and made contact with Shaun Johnson's head during South Sydney's recent loss to the Warriors.
The Rabbitohs currently find themselves at the bottom of the ladder with a dismal 1-4 record, leading to speculation that coach Jason Demetriou's job may be on the line.
The pressure is on Demetriou to turn things around in their upcoming clash against the Sharks, with reports suggesting that his coaching tenure may hinge on the outcome of this critical game.
In an effort to address the ongoing crisis, Mitchell is set to meet with Rabbitohs officials on Tuesday as the club endeavors to help him reach his full potential.
Known for his ownership of a farm in Taree, Mitchell often retreats to the NSW Midnorth coast during breaks from the rugby league grind.
With retirement fears looming and speculation swirling around his future, Mitchell must navigate this turbulent period with grace and humility.
Only time will tell if he can rise above the adversity and emerge stronger on the other side.
