Latrell Mitchell

There has been nothing but hatred between the Rabbitohs and Roosters this week leading into their do-or-die finals match, but for one small moment, ...

“It was obviously in context with what happened in the last game. “He’s very special to me and this club and the time we had here. It was our first home game and that’s where it should rest. My kids will still ask about Latrell and if he’s playing. I was definitely grateful for that. [copping vile abuse and endless boos from Roosters supporters](/sport/nrl/the-level-latrell-cops-is-concerning/video/4ac5c2bbdcc9743dff8370283bca7026) with long memories.

The Elimination Final between the Sydney Roosters and South Sydney has kicked off in bizarre fashion with Latrell Mitchell kicking downfield on the first ...

He got up and played the ball the wrong way before being sent for an HIA. “It was unbelievable when they went a man down I thought we’re on here and then we conceded two tries,” Souths coach Jason Demetriou told Fox League on the field straight after the game. Down to a squad of 13, the Roosters were reduced to 12 on the field after Jared Waerea-Hargreaves was banished to the bin for a head slam on Burgess in the 50th minute. Crichton was ruled out for the rest of the game at half-time after he was taken off to be assessed following a shoulder to the head while trying to tackle a fired-up Burgess in the 33rd minute. “I’ve never seen anything like it, it was brutal. Tom Burgess was sin-binned for a high tackle on Matt Lodge soon after a similar hit on Tedesco in the 18th minute and when Milne suffered the same fate for a hit on opposing winger Joseph Suaalii at the mid-point of a crazy first half, the Roosters were playing against 11 Rabbitohs.

“The emotion of that game was through the roof. It’s all worth it when you’ve got the support and I know it’s there, it outweighs the bad. Advertisement

"Now I get to express that with the best club in the world and it's just so good. "I'm so glad Souths fans turned up and give it back and support us all the way. Fittler, for his part, admitted he'd never heard so much noise in a stadium before.

South Sydney wanted revenge for their final round defeat at the opening of the new Allianz Stadium. They got it, and then some, on an afternoon where a ...

“I thought [the match officials] handled the game really well. “I take umbrage to any suggestion we lie down for penalties. “He came in and was really focused on his role. I think as spectacle it would have been interesting and different, and then the footy moments were won by Souths.” “He had real intent on his week,” Demetriou said of Mitchell, who also booted five conversions from as many attempts. The deliberate ones, we’ve got to come down on them.

Latrell Mitchell and Cody Walker managed to keep their heads when everyone else didn't. That is why the Rabbitohs' season is still alive.

“I knew that Taane Milne wasn’t on the right wing but I still had my left edge intact ... He’s playing with a smile on his face and it sets us up nicely for the finals series.” the leaders spoke this week about the things they like of their teammates, what their fellow leaders bring. “I’ve been bashed down 10 times and I got up 11 [times]. “That was one of the things that Cody was spoken about - The right play at the right time. His game smarts and his ability to execute ...

'Bashed down 10 times, got up 11': Latrell's 'emotional' interview as Souths fans erupt.

“Now I get to express that with the best club in the world. It shouldn’t happen (in the elimination final).” It’s just so good, I love the community. “I’ve been bashed down 10 times and I got up 11, and it’s all worth it when you’ve got the support and I know it’s there and it outweighs the bad and I’m very grateful.” “It’s an emotional one, it’s been a few years (since I left the Roosters) and situations went on, but I worked really hard on myself to get myself to this moment,” he said. All eyes were on Mitchell as he went up against his former club again and while the fans attempted to ruffle his feathers, the 25-year-old rose above it and at one stage even put his finger up to his lips in a signal to silence the crowd.

The fullback has struggled recently with relentless booing, but left Sydney Stadium in raptures after helping thrash former team the Roosters.

It's so good, I love the community. Latrell Mitchell was one of the Rabbitohs stars, converting five from five and even scoring a try himself after breaking through the Roosters' defence. It's a bitter rivalry, and Sunday night's game between the Roosters and the Rabbitohs had plenty of fireworks.

You could have forgiven Latrell Mitchell for packing up his bags early last season.

“It (the booing) was obviously in context with what happened in the last game. “He’s very special to me and this club and the time we had here. My kids will still ask about Latrell and if he’s playing. I was definitely grateful for that. He’s a real favourite."
