The old saying "don't bring politics into sport"... if Mitchell just shut up and performed he would be one of the best players in the world.. he just can't do it..
Latrell had the same political views he’s always held during Origin 2 and performed to the standard we expect from him. Not playing centre is what’s stopping Latrell from achieving his best. I don’t mind sport and politics mixing when it’s warranted. We were right to stop teams touring apartheid South Africa for example.

Add to that, I'm not sure being overweight and lazy is a political ideology?

Anyway, the old politics and sport don't mix is up there with the dumbest statements fans make

The NRL integrity unit is investigating details around a leaked photograph of South Sydney Rabbitohs superstar Latrell Mitchell, showing him at a table with what appears to be a white substance.

The photo

Both South Sydney chief executive Blake Solly and Mitchell’s adviser, boxing promoter Matt Rose, are aware of the photo.

Both declined to comment when contacted by this masthead on Monday afternoon.

In the photo, it appears Mitchell has his face down near the table and the white substance. There is no suggestion that the white substance is an illicit drug.

This masthead has attempted to contact Mitchell, who is not answering calls.

A television reporter turned up to South Sydney training on Monday morning to ask questions about the picture on his mobile phone.

Solly then contacted the integrity unit.

Mitchell is in the company of an unidentified blonde woman in the picture.

There are no details around when or where the photograph was taken.

Mitchell was in Dubbo to do coaching clinics over the weekend and is understood to have stayed overnight.

Mitchell’s manager Warwick Wright could not be contacted.

The NRL has been contacted for comment.

Mitchell has been sidelined for more than five weeks after suffering a foot injury in South Sydney’s 32-16 win over Parramatta in Round 18. He is not expected to play again this year. The 27-year-old fullback has played in only 11 games this year.

He was suspended for three weeks earlier in the season for an elbow to the head of New Zealand Warriors halfback Shaun Johnson as the Rabbitohs tumbled out of finals contention.
 

This Year?
