Latrell Mitchell Ends Media Silence With Surprise Souths Appearance

The surprise appearance signaled a reset around loyalty to Souths, with fresh talk of Origin.

Overview

  • Latrell Mitchell fronted cameras Tuesday in an unlisted South Sydney presser to honor Campbell Graham’s 150th game, saying he will speak only on special occasions.
  • He reaffirmed he plans to stay at South Sydney, noted his contract runs through the end of 2027, and dismissed talk linking him to the PNG Chiefs.
  • He said he is open to a NSW Blues call-up in State of Origin, added he has not spoken to coach Laurie Daley, and backed Graham as ready for the arena.
