When Latrell Mitchell is running hot he is arguably the most destructive footballer in the NRL. And a moment of brilliance from the South Sydney fullback left legendary No.1 Billy Slater speechless on Thursday night at Accor Stadium. The Bunnies were trailing 12-4 before half-time and play seemed to be moving relatively slowly, before Mitchell produced a pass no one — except Cody Walker — saw coming. Storm champion Slater described Mitchell's move as "unbelievable". "I don't know what to say," Slater said. "There was nothing really happening ... Latrell Mitchell engages two defenders, and then a flick over the top to Cody Walker." Rugby league Immortal and astute analyst Andrew Johns was astounded. "I don't think super slo-mo actually shows how quickly Mitchell got into contact, got the ball up and threw the pass," Johns said. "That happens so quick."
