Latrell's big indigenous 'greatest' call

NRL

Latrell Mitchell has declared he wants to be the greatest Indigenous rugby league player of all time.

The Rabbitohs star is one of the best players in the NRL, but the blockbusting fullback wants to be remembered as the Indigenous GOAT.

I definitely have a goal to be the best Indigenous player to ever play the game. I'm just proud to be a black fella and represent my heritage.

— Latrell Mitchell

Mitchell has been in fine form for Australia at the Rugby League World Cup, but admits he almost sat out the tournament.

The 25-year-old was undecided about going to England until a talk with Kangaroos coach Mal Meninga convinced him to turn out.

I was umming and ahhing (about playing at the World Cup) ... but when Mal gave me the call I was ready to go.
