The Top NRL Stories From 2023 – Sam Burgess Walks Out On Souths:

The Rabbitohs were sitting pretty on top of the NRL table, before a calf injury to superstar Latrell Mitchell in ORIGIN, camp sparked an almighty season implosion that culminated in an overhaul of their support staff.

Mitchell’s calf injury was meant to keep him out for a fortnight but he ended up missing most of the middle part of the season and without him Souths looked rudderless.

Even when he returned late in the season, Mitchell was below his best and was suspended for the crucial final game of the season against the Roosters, which saw the Bunnies miss the finals altogether.

Assistant coaches Sam Burgess and John Morris were made to pay for Souths’ horror season fade-out, with the loss of their jobs.
