'Latrell Mitchell Facing Three-Week Ban After NRL Charges'
In a devastating blow for the Rabbitohs, star player Latrell Mitchell has been hit with a three-game suspension by the NRL following two incidents in the game against the Warriors.
Early in the match, Mitchell was penalized for hitting Shaun Johnson with an elbow to the head, and later in the first half, he was cited for a dangerous lifting tackle on Tohu Harris.
Souths coach Jason Demetriou didn't mince words, describing both actions as "just stupid" and urging Mitchell to step up his game.
If Mitchell chooses to challenge the charges and is unsuccessful, he could be sidelined for an additional week, making it a four-week suspension.
In the world of Rugby League, discipline and sportsmanship are key, and Mitchell's actions have not gone unnoticed by the league authorities.
Fans will be eagerly awaiting the outcome of any potential challenge as Mitchell faces a tough battle to clear his name and return to the field.
Only time will tell if Mitchell can learn from this setback and come back stronger than ever for the Rabbitohs.
