Rabbitohs fullback Latrell Mitchell is likely to get a phone call from the NRL determined to be a better role model after being bandied about on live radio several times following his side’s defeat to the Broncos on Thursday.
Mitchell, 26, endured a mixed night at Suncorp Stadium as the Bunnies lost their second game in a row to open the 2024 season.
Speaking to Triple M’s Ben Dobbin, the homegrown star lamented his side didn’t take their chances as they were outclassed 28-18.
It has since been revealed that the FM radio station cut the footy chat due to the amount of foul language.
Mitchell also raised eyebrows after declaring he ‘didn’t care’ when it came to the extent of profanity.

Mitchell scored the 100th try of his NRL career but it proved to be in vain as Brisbane won 28-18
NRL CEO Andrew Abdo said it was important players were authentic – but they should also be respectful
“Look, honestly, f**k, it was bad,” Mitchell began.
‘In the first half it was just a hard fight, f**k, we showed what we’re about.
‘Honestly, they (Broncos) are big boys, they are competitors. You wonder why they came second last year, so f**k, we can build on that.
“I don’t care if I swear, boys, honestly.”
Mitchell then explained he was pleased to score his 100th NRL try during the game and added another F-bomb.
Dobbin kept his cool before Fox League commentator Dan Ginnane ‘thanked’ Mitchell for his time on air.
NRL CEO Andrew Abdo said it was important players were authentic – but they should also be respectful.
“They (all) know they are professionals and role models, which means setting an example,” he shared Sydney Morning Herald.
‘When we speak to fans via media interviews, we have a responsibility to be respectful.’
