'Ridiculous': Bunnies coach fumes as Latrell escapes ban for high shot and cheeky Knights act.

I get that he’s made a bit of contact trying to wrap the ball up, but it’s not an on-report offence. “We asked Latrell to protect our line and that’s what he did,” Demetriou said.“For me it’s ridiculous he’s even on report. “That is why he stayed down. I reckon he will be put on report for that too. “What is that left arm doing there?

Captaincy a career highlight: Mitchell (The West Australian)

Latrell Mitchell enjoyed captaining South Sydney against Newcastle but is eager for Cam Murray to return to the side as its full-time leader.

I can't wait for that." That's how he is. "I cannot wait to get him back into the team and have him start leading us again (but) I definitely hold (captaining the side) up as one of the biggest accolades that I've achieved in my career." "I definitely got a kick out of being up the top and leading the boys but I saw a lot of (other) leaders out there also." "I talked to the big fella (coach Jason Demetriou) and he said, 'Don't change anything, be you' and that's all I needed to do," Mitchell said. Latrell Mitchell considers captaining South Sydney in the win over Newcastle a career highlight but says he would be hesitant to put his hand up for a formal leadership role at the club as long as Cameron Murray remained skipper.

I've got a job to do and that's save tries, and I was there first," Mitchell said. "As a game we've got to understand that sometimes people get bumped on the head. It's part and parcel of the game.

Latrell Mitchell revelled in the role of captain for the first time in his NRL career and Cody Walker led by example to inspire South Sydney to a spirited ...

“But like I just said to him then, through the week, he was probably calming me down more than the other way around, but he’s a pleasure to coach. He takes the line on when it’s on, and he’s doing what he needs to do for the team, but his effort areas are outstanding. No-one blinked, and it was a credit to the players who came in as well," he said. Walker also set up tries for Richie Kennar and Tevita Tatola with deft short kicks, and created another for Kennar with a neat pass three minutes into the second half. “I’ll give the senior players a massive rap – not only for their performance but how they handled the week. And I felt we did that tonight, we’ve got a long turn-around to rest up, and get ready to go again.
