NSW Confirms Latrell Mitchell Will Miss Origin Opener with Back Injury The news that Latrell Mitchell will miss the opening game of the State of Origin series due to a recurring back injury is a significant setback for New South Wales (NSW).
While Mitchell has been carrying this injury for some time, his decision to withdraw from the team is a testament to his professionalism and commitment to both his state and club.
The timing of this announcement could not be worse for NSW coach Laurie Daley, who will now have to regroup and re strategize ahead of Game One on Wednesday week.
