Guy needs to grow up.....if this is true about him returning to Taree rather than back to Sydney to play for the Roosters this weekend, certain rumours doing the rounds are up may be closer to the mark than we think...

Mystery surrounds NSW and Sydney Roosters centre Latrell Mitchell's decision not to return to Sydney after his shocker in Origin I.


There is agreement among Blues and Roosters officials that the 21-year-old returned to his home town of Taree with family members on Thursday.

Beyond that, things begin to get murky.

What remains unclear is whether Mitchell bothered to tell the Chooks about his change in plans, with the boom centre almost certain to miss Sunday's Round 13 clash against Penrith.

Blues senior adviser Greg Alexander claimed the Tricolours had signed off on Mitchell's road trip in a testy interview on Fox Sports on Thursday night.

Earlier, NSW coach Brad Fittler took a swipe at Mitchell's commitment levels and conceded the Roosters are far from pleased with Mitchell.

"I know they're not that happy at the Roosters and there's a lot going on in his life at the moment with managers," Fittler said.

"There always seems to be something other than footy. He obviously needs to work on his motivation.

Wide World of Sports' The Mole also reported on Thursday that Trent Robinson and co are none-too-pleased with the superstar back.

Mitchell started the 2019 NRL season among the form players in the competition but has fallen out of form in recent weeks amid speculation of off-field issues.


He was arguably the worst player on the field at Suncorp Stadium as the Blues surrendered an early 8-0 lead to suffer an 18-14 loss in the series opener.

Fittler is almost certain to stick with the centre for Game 2 in Perth on Sunday, June 23.

It remains to be seen whether the Roosters will sanction Mitchell if it is true he failed to notify them of his trip to Taree.

Well people compared him to grog Inglis.

Maybe he really is following him by doing a runner to get on a bender.

Brad Fittler will do what ever the Roosters hierarchy tell him to do.

If Roosters say drop him from the team to refocus him, he will do it. What other overhyped Roosters will he bring into the origin fold?

Pearce & Keary halves + Crichton still there along with busted Cordner. QLD are too smart, they give the captaincy to spine players while NSW stay loyal to captain forwards who are busted & easily interchangeable.

I hope he gets dropped because he needs a kick up the ass after that woeful showing.

Seems like he's trying to get himself sacked by the Roosters. Making all the right moves and hasn't been interested playing with them for some time.

Remember a few weeks back there were whispers about Souths after Mitchell. They chose Roberts instead. Perhaps they found out something during due diligence.

Could be sour grapes if Mitchell was nearly signed by Souths as well.

If we're being politically correct I think this should be referred to as 'going walkabout'

People have to remember this is a 21 year old kid. He's accomplished a lot and developed such a reputation that's it's easy to forget how young he is. He can't be expected to dominate every game at that level yet.

There was talk that he had approved leave from the club for a family funeral and they decided to rest him this week. This may be a nothing story. Who knows what to believe..

Obviously he's distracted and he played like shit in Origin, but people act like the Origin greats didn't have shockers at that level also. I'm sure he'll bounce back next game to silence his critics...

I also heard he had approval.

Heard the Chooks were resting 2 of their origin players this week & the other 2 next week.

Latrell was this week.

Was it Nasheed or someone else who had a mate or a cousin in Taree who was related to Holland and related to Mitchell on both sides?
