Of all the reasons the Blues lost the State of Origin series, maybe one reason stands above all others: South Sydney superstar Latrell Mitchell.

They both came up with some pretty big plays to set the tries up. They keep standing up and if they keep doing that we’ll be in a good place come finals.” It was the hardest decision I’ve had to make personally [ withdrawing from contention]. I didn’t want to be selfish in that space. Said South Sydney coach Jason Demetriou: “With no Cam and Cooky, we needed Latrell and Cody to stand up.
