Breaking news that is not going to be good news for Boydie. Let me to do it. Breaking news. Yes, what is it? Michael Kariannis, who's I think sitting next to us in the adjoining box, is reporting that South Sydney superstar Latrell Mitchell is almost certainly out.

of the Blues' origin decider after picking up a serious foot injury on Thursday night. It's understood that Mitchell, despite playing on with the injury, is considered next to no chance to line up for the Blues on Wednesday week, throwing the Blues' hopes of an Origin 3 win in Brisbane into chaos.

The likes of Bradman Best, Tom Trebojevic have come into calculations, but it looks like Latrell Mitchell won't be playing for New South Wales. Not good. This is not another one of those New South Wales injuries. You're just relentless with it. I'll believe it when I see it. That's not good news. I'm lost for words here. I'm rattled. Me and Bradman talking on the way out here, and I said, look, I'm actually really nervous for this game. Like,

Now, when you're a player, you're excited, but I'm just so nervous. I want the win so bad. And the fact he's out, he's in such good form, playing such good footy, gives everyone else in the team confidence. It's such a shame. And let's hope there is some sort of hope he can play.

Yeah, I don't know. I'm shocked a bit. Boy, what do you reckon? It's hard to hear that because just in camp the week before, it's probably the most focused I've ever seen Latrell. He's got a lot of emotion and energy in the game and he's outspoken, but if he can channel that in the right spot, he's the most dangerous player in the world and

He's shown glimpses of that in game two and I reckon he would have been perfect just for having that experience in that game under his belt to go up to Suncorp to go after it again. It's just... It's tough to hear. I'll tell you the positive thing about it. He finished the game. If he finished the game...

That's a positive. Let's hope. Are they saying what the injury is? A foot injury. Now, foot injury, they've got this thing called Liz Frank, I think it is, which is a long-term injury. You wouldn't be able to play. No, you wouldn't be able to play without her. She was a great artist as well. That's something. The fact he finished the game, he played on Thursday night, didn't he? So he's got almost two weeks until his next game. I know he's got to go into camp and train, but...

Let's hope there's a bit of GST there. All right. Well, Michael Kariannis from The Telegraph reporting that Latrell Mitchell is almost certainly out of the New South Wales Origin team and the decider after picking up a serious foot injury on Thursday night for South Sydney.
