South Sydney plays without Mitchell and gets a positive response from a new centre. Multiple reports say Latrell Siegwalt steps into the role on debut, replacing Mitchell, and performs strongly in the team’s match against the Cronulla Sharks. Alongside Siegwalt’s debut, Alex Johnston contributes a decisive attacking display. The outlets agree that Johnston scores another hat-trick of tries in the same game, further extending South Sydney’s advantage over Cronulla.
Across the three sources, the match outcome is the same: the Rabbitohs defeat the Sharks. The articles focus on the two standout storylines—Siegwalt’s emergence as a replacement for Mitchell in the centre position and Johnston’s try-scoring. While details of scoring timelines and individual playmaking are not specified in the provided excerpts, all three reports frame the result as a successful team effort in which South Sydney maintains momentum despite missing Mitchell, with Siegwalt and Johnston both delivering key impacts.
