Latrell Mitchell

Nine.com.au takes a look at 10 stars playing for sweeter NRL deals in the showpiece tournament.

Latrell Mitchell has declared his focus remains on helping the Kangaroos, despite questions about his future.

The Rabbitohs are bracing for the possibility of losing their $1.1 million marquee star and the NRL’s centre market is about to explode.

Injuries have dogged him in recent years and he’s played just 34 NRL games in the past three seasons.

A first round exit will not define South Sydney’s 2026 season, instead the team’s off-field resilience will bookmark their season.

Souths had a golden chance to make a deep run into September, but now face some serious off-season questions.

There were a few eyebrows raised when a rival NRL club signed him, but Dane Gagai is proving people wrong.

The South Sydney coach wasn’t happy with the delays during his side’s elimination final loss to the Knights.

The Roosters skipper reckons his war of words with his Blues and former Roosters teammate was a stitch-up by 9News journo Danny Weidler.

Two players were dumped in the sin bin after a heated melee and Latrell Mitchell floored a rookie with a crunching hit.
