The South Sydney Rabbitohs have lost star player Latrell Mitchell to a grade two reckless high tackle which put the Roosters’ Joey Manu in hospital.

Queensland great Billy Slater put little confidence in the Rabbitohs to win the Premiership without Mitchell.

“You’re a brave man to say that they can,” he told Mark Levy.

“Latrell Mitchell’s their most damaging player; he’s their most dynamic ball-runner, he creates so many opportunities for his outside men.

“I’ve got serious question marks [over] whether they can move forward in this competition.”
