Rugby League legend Gorden Tallis has stepped onto the field of controversy as South Sydney Rabbitohs face a tough decision regarding star player Latrell Mitchell.
Tallis, along with fellow NRL great Braith Anasta, have joined the chorus calling for Souths to make a bold move and shift Mitchell from fullback to centre.
Mitchell, known for his explosive runs and game-changing plays, made a name for himself as a centre at the Roosters before making the switch to fullback at the Rabbitohs.
However, questions have been raised about his defensive abilities and commitment in his new position.
The issue came to a head after a recent match where Mitchell's lapses in defense were glaringly evident, particularly when he was caught out of place during a pivotal play that led to an easy try for the opposition.
With tensions rising and criticism mounting, Souths are now faced with a game-changing decision on Mitchell's role within the team.
As the pressure builds, the clock is ticking for the Rabbitohs to make a play that could shake up their lineup and potentially turn the tide in their favor.
