South Sydney Rabbitohs star Latrell Mitchell is under fire after a recent post-match expletive laced radio interview on Triple M last week.
Mitchell gave a post-match interview after the Rabbitohs’ loss to Brisbane where he swore five times in 30 seconds raising the ire of league fans.
Following the interview, NRL chief executive Andrew Abdo met with Mitchell on Wednesday night, and the football player was issued with a warning rather than a fine or a suspension.
According to The Daily Telegraph, South Sydney chair Nick Pappas said the club fully support the Rabbitohs player, but Mitchell could have handled himself in the interview better.
Mr Pappas said the club is dealing with Mitchell appropriately.
“I am satisfied that the football department and (chief executive) Blake (Solly) are putting the right things in place to give him the support he needs at this time,” Mr Pappas said.
“I have every faith in him delivering for this club this season and beyond. He always has our support. At the same time, it doesn’t mean I don’t believe that moment could have been handled better.
“Absolutely it could have been, and I am sure Latrell would say that.”
