Latrell Mitchell had the game of his life on Saturday, and it wasn’t long for the words “next Greg Inglis” to be thrown around.
It’s not the first time the young gun has been compared to the South Sydney great, and it’s hardly a surprise given his enormous performance on the weekend and Inglis’ recent retirement. But is it fair?
Appearing on the Game of Codes podcast, seasoned Dragon Korbin Sims told The Roar he certainly doesn’t think so. Hear his take in the player below:
As for Mitchell’s showing on Saturday night, it was nothing short of outstanding.
Surrounded by speculation of a move to the Rabbitohs, the 21-year-old appeared unfazed as he rampaged through the Tigers, scoring three tries, setting up another two, kicking six conversions and slotting a penalty for a total of 26 points.
Add two line breaks, five tackle breaks and more than 200 running metres, and he was damned near superhuman.
For a player putting in such dominant performances at a young age, it’s likely his name will only go further into the spotlight.
But is a comparison between Mitchell and Inglis par for the course, or is Sims on the money?
