South Sydney superstar Latrell Mitchell's career hit rock bottom when he was suspended earlier this season. The Rabbitohs lost their way in the finals race, coach Jason Demetriou was sacked and Latrell copped plenty from the critics. But the suspension, time away from the game and some soul-searching appears to have brought out the best in the enigmatic fullback. Since his return, Latrell has scored six tries for Souths and won a recall to State of Origin football, scoring a try in the Blues' big win in Melbourne. Souths are on a five-game winning streak, playing very much like a finals team, and Latrell has 12 try assists in his last six games along with his own tryscoring feats. The brilliant fullback was at his devastating best in the gritty win over the Eels on Thursday night, destroying the Parra defence and proving the difference. His time away from the game gave him time to reset and the Bunnies, but that revival has all come to a screeching halt after picking up a foot injury. Just when the Blues and Bunnies needed him most.
