Latrell Mitchell, the South Sydney Rabbitohs’ fullback, has been embroiled in a series of disciplinary issues leading to suspensions and fines. In April 2024, he received a three-game ban for using his elbow to fend off Shaun Johnson during a match against the Warriors. Mitchell accepted the suspension, which sidelined him for games against Cronulla, Melbourne, and Penrith. (inkl.com)
In August 2024, images surfaced of Mitchell in a hotel room with what appeared to be a white substance on a table. The NRL Integrity Unit investigated, and Mitchell was issued a breach notice proposing a one-match suspension and a monetary fine. South Sydney sought to have the suspension served immediately, but the NRL ruled it would be enforced once Mitchell was fit to play, likely in the 2025 season. (abc.net.au)
In response to the incident, South Sydney fined Mitchell $100,000, with $80,000 suspended, and required him to pay $20,000 immediately. Mitchell also committed to a wellbeing program and was mandated to undertake appropriate training, education, and remediation. (nine.com.au)
These events have placed additional pressure on South Sydney, which has faced challenges both on and off the field. The club continues to support Mitchell in his efforts to address these issues and return to form.
