one of the hardest positions in the game, small hooker usually giving away 20-30 kilo to massive forwards in the middle of the field. With the team we've had the last few years and at 23 yrs old I wouldnt expect much more than what Levi has shown so far to be fair.

I can only think it must have something more to do with his attitude. Maybe Levi needs a change of scenery .....

I hope he continues his form because the way he is playing, he is up there with the very best. Hasn't put a foot wrong for 160 minutes. Even that little kick at the end. Great stuff.

Even if L Mitchell wanted to play for the Knights, i would not buy him on principle. He turned his nose up at the Knights and had some disparaging things to say, so F**** him.

He’s killing it at the moment but his shit attitude is gonna cost him at some point. If everything isn’t going his way the toys will come out the cot.

Do you blame him? We told him he wasn't good enough for our Harold mats squad a few months before he got chosen for nsw under 16s

He was dropped a while back because of attitude - Watched some commentary the other day mentioning the key will be for him to watch his weight, they're probably right. Only 21 and already a large lad, weight will be an issue for him as he ages. Does he have the drive to keep that in check ? guess only time will tell.

Didnt the Knights reject him because he was over weight with a poor attitude ?

Guess this answers any possible 5/8 search

"We always knew Kurt would be in the squad somewhere and we originally looked for him to play a role at hooker," Brown said.

"But his game is probably better suited to five-eighth. He's actually got a very good kicking game as well and that's another string to his bow that we'll develop over time to take the pressure off Mitchell [Pearce]."

I've literally never heard of any concerns about his weight ever. I find it funny that we have certain players who we know have major red flags including criminal offences and yet we tend to ignore those and focus on things that are at this point in time nothing more than conjecture with Latrell

Professional sportsmen, now in the media offering opinions on how a young man can achieve greatness in his chosen sport and challenges he will face given his body shape and tendency for weight fluctuation is hardly conjecture. It's an observation by former professional athletes - For what its worth- Straight from the horses mouth

A 20 year old who over indulged over Xmas gees like that's never happened before right? I'm quite sure that happens at every club during the off season. The point I'm trying to make here is this bloke is one of the biggest talents the game has seen in years and instead of celebrating that everyone is lining up to throw out reasons why he's going to fail or speculate about issues he might or might not have in his personal life.

dont know, dont really read gossip and dont care about his personal life so long as it doesnt involve kids or hitting woman , I'm more interested in the pro's opinions on how he can achieve his potential. Personally I find those topics interesting as they represent the huge challenges that go into being a professional athlete.

On the subject of Mitchell as a player? 1 swallow doesnt make a summer. Lets see how he maintains the standards over a long period of time- no easy task. In white hot form though and if he really wants to play fullback then I'd say worth making an inquiry- if the Pong was to give 5/8 a serious go I'd love to see us with a player of his potential..

The kids a generational talent. He’s been on this trajectory for years. I’ll be stunned if the chooks let him go.
