See the telltale sign under fire Latrell Mitchell has finally got his priorities straight after issuing a heartfelt apology to his teammates

Suspended Souths star Latrell Mitchell appears to have gotten the message from the Rabbitohs if his social media inactivity is anything to go by after issuing a heartfelt apology to the team.

Mitchell is currently serving a ban for elbowing Shaun Johnson, following a series of controversies on and off the pitch.

The 26-year-old is usually very active on social media, particularly Instagram, but the Rabbitohs back has not made a single post in three weeks.

The radio silence from Mitchell comes after he addressed his costly suspension by apologizing to teammates.

Mitchell, who is usually very active on social media, posted the above on Instagram three weeks ago – and has not been heard from since

He also reportedly had a meeting with coach Jason Demetriou and chief executive Blake Solly later that day to tell them he was all in.

Two of Mitchell’s inner circle, his adviser Matt Rose and his agent Wok Wright, reportedly told Mitchell to quit the sport if his heart wasn’t in it anymore.

Mitchell told the pair he was determined to carry on – and that he still had unfinished business in football and with Souths.

News of Mitchell’s apology came less than 24 hours after Phil Gould questioned whether the suspended fullback retained the thirst to play in the NRL.

NRL great Brad Fittler also weighed in to suggest Mitchell needs to stop fighting battles on social media as it saps his energy.

Mitchell came under fire for his vocal protests against Spencer Leniu after the Roosters star admitted to calling Ezra Mam a ‘monkey’ during the Las Vegas opener last month.

Leniu was suspended for eight matches for the racist slur and ARLC boss Peter V’landys warned the Bunnies star for trying to influence a court outcome before the hearing after he posted on Instagram that the NRL ‘better deal with this shit’.

Mitchell also engaged in a back and forth with Anthony Mundine on social media during the saga.

Mitchell made a heartfelt apology to his Souths teammates and told coach Jason Demetriou and chief executive Blake Solly he was all in.

Origin coach Michael Maquire has left the door open for Mitchell to be called up to the Blues

“It started this year after Las Vegas,” Fittler told Wide World of Sports’ Freddy and the Eighth.

‘They got beaten over there (by Manly) and it really picked up from there.

‘He’s been kept out there as one of the original leaders, and that takes a lot, I’m sure, of your energy.

‘That’s what happens when you start diving into social media and acting out a bit of your life on the social platforms. It takes a lot of your life.

‘He doesn’t need to touch his social media – people understand his attitude to the original game and the more and the better he plays football, the better his message will always be.’

Origin coach Michael Maquire has left the door open for Mitchell to be called up to NSW, but has urged him to be in the right headspace if he wants to be selected.

“Everyone knows Latrell’s ability, but it’s about making sure he’s in the right headspace,” Maguire told the media on Tuesday.

‘At the moment one thing I know is that in big games you need your focus on where you’re going. Souths are going through a tough period but Latrell has a chance to pile on and really help the NSW team.

‘He’s still got a couple of months to get himself into that shape, but Origin games are up there with the biggest games of your life.

‘I want to see that focus from all the players, to make sure they are in a good headspace and feel good about where they are. It helps the composition of your team.

“We need all of our guys to play their best, including Latrell.”
