Teammate Damien Cook said he wasn’t quite sure what Mitchell meant by his “cracks” comment, while Campbell told Graham: “This is Latrell, he’s a personality in the game, he says what he thinks and loves that we on him. I would never tell him not to say something or to keep it under wraps.
“I think he will play and he’s confident he will play.
“Taaffe trained really well today and was our best in terms of training all preseason. He’s the strongest in the club and when ‘Trell’ fails we have complete faith in Taaffe.”
Souths will be without Jai Arrow (hamstring) and Junior Tatola (concussion), both of whom are expected to face the Sydney Roosters on Friday weekend, while Davvy Moale, who suffered a cork in his knee against Cronulla, was out in practice Tuesday but will play against Penrith.
