Trell hamstring injury worse than first feared
South Sydney's horror pre-season has continued with Latrell Mitchell facing a lengthy stint on the sidelines injury and Cameron Murray sidelined long term.
thenightly.com.auI don’t have live access to wall-to-wall updates right this moment, but here’s the latest I can summarize from recent coverage:
- Latrell Mitchell has been dealing with a lower-back/hamstring-related issue in 2025–2026 periods, with various outlets noting him missing short stints and then aiming to return for key fixtures such as State of Origin. For example, reports around May 2026 indicated a back injury ruling him out of a game but targeting a return around the Origin opener. This suggests he’s been managing injuries that can affect selection cycles rather than long-term absences.[3][5]
- In mid-2025, there were more serious injury reports (hamstring/avoidance of surgery discussions and rehab). These articles described a multi-week to two-month rehabilitation timeline and highlighted the impact on South Sydney Rabbitohs’ planning for that season.[1][4]
- More recently, there’s been ongoing coverage of him being ruled out for short periods due to back-related issues ahead of club fixtures and Origin selections, with expectations of a return within one to two weeks in some instances.[5][3]
If you’d like, I can narrow to:
- A specific date range (e.g., last 3 months) and extract all injury-related updates.
- A summary focused on his availability for State of Origin, including expected return dates.
- A comparison of reported injury timings across major outlets for the same period.
